    Protein right before going to sleep...

    Hey guys I'm curious how efficiently whey/chicken/beef or basically a protein is broken down into amino-acids before you go to bed

    Is there a certain amount of time you should give the protein to breaking down ??

    I want there to be as much L-Arginine as possible for maximum HGH release, so what should I do ???

    And I hope this won't make me fat at all...

    Pre-bed you would want a slow digesting protein such as casein or a blend which is primarily casein and other slow digesting proteins. This would give your body a sustained supply of the amino acids and nutrients it needs to repair those muscles.

    lol, I don't know if cottage cheese kicks ass, but yeah, I add blueberries to help get it down.

    I agree with all the posts who suggested casein, including simply eating cottage cheese

    Yes. You're significantly overestimating the rate at which amino acids are absorbed after a meal.

    To be honest, a lot of people over analyzed what to eat. Enjoy what you eat. Not saying to go eat ice cream and fried chicken prior to going to bed but why not eat a 10 oz steak with some veggies before bed?

    Grilled steak KNOCKS the dick down on cottage cheese with PB

    beef is not easily digestible and causes problems with getting/staying alseep in some. generally it's best to consume easily digestible foods/proteins before sleep because of this. cottage cheese has a much higher BV than beef also
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Any animal meat stakes time to digest.. So chicken , steak turkey would be fine pre bed. Hit the daily macros ! And your set!

    don't over think things. if you goal is to gain, then eat ! if your goal is to get leaner then cut back on the foods. Do you supplement with L-Arginine ?

    1) Casein
    2) Whey + healty fat (will increase digestion time of whey)
    3) Cottage cheese + healty fat (same reasons)

    I have noticed that proteins plus digestive enzymes (just prior) really provide some vivid dreams for me. This could be just the placebo effect manifesting but there is a conjectured correlation between dream intensity reports and growth hormone release.

    "food for thought"

    P.S. I don't know if cottage cheese kicks ass but it seems to taste like ass - how anyone can stomach it I do not know

    are you taking it on an empty stomach prior to bed ? how long from your last meal are you taking the L-Arginine ?

    I hear it all the time, but for me it's eggs. I freaking hate eggs!!! I can down 2cups of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt like it's nothing, but it takes me an hour to eat 8 boiled eggs.

    Do you guys like cheesecake and/or choc. cheesecake? If you do, I gotta cottage cheese recipe that doesn't taste like cottage cheese and will confuse you as to how can something taste so good AND be great for you.
