HELP: protein before bed time?

[InGearX]

I see that people recommend drinking protein before going to bed!

Question 1: Why is that good and safe to do?

Question 2: What kind of protein shake by Nutrition Facts? # of calories, grams of protein?

Question 3: What brand would you recommend for that?

In general during the day I drink "Lean Body" by Labrada which has 290 Calories and 45g of protein I mix it with MILK is that OK?
You may take a look at the Nutrition Facts by visiting this page I made http://www.hackin.to/leanbody/

Question 4: I see that "Designer protein Whey" say they are # 1 selling protein in USA, is it good?

Question 5: To mix these protein shakes with milk is OK?

Thank you all...

1. Protein before bed feeds your muscles all night long. The slow release of amino acids throughout the night fights catabolism.

2. Not sure I understand this question, but whey protein usually has about 20 grams of protein, 2 to 6 grams of carbs, and 1 or 2 grams of fat per serving. Meal Replacements generally have higher protein, carbs and fat. They are meant to replace a real food meal. Both are valuable in building muscle. Whey is cheaper, MRP's at the right time of day are invaluable.

3. For whey protein only, I like Ultimate Nutrition or ProLab. For MRP's I usually go with what is on sale. My favorite is Muscle Link. The nutrution facts are very similar so I like these because of their taste.

4. It may be #1 mostly because of the taste as well as marketing.

5. Mixing with milk is OK.

thank you for that explonation!

On my schedule, my sixth meal comes about 1/2 hour before I go to bed. I usually make it a shake so my stomach doesn't feel as full. Heck some people get up at midnight and have a shake- why? B/C they know that it is important to feed the proper nutrients to the body as often as possible. There is nothing bad about having a healthy meal before you go to bed, that meal will work for you all night long.
