Late night protein

[Xevuhtess7]

just wondering, how many of you guys drink protein at like 3 in the morning. i started doing that like a week ago, i mix it before i go to slelep, set the alarm for 3 30am. i wake up, drink, go bakc to sleep, im only awake for like a minute. my reason behind it is that there's no nutrients for my body to work with whiel im sleeping cause i haven't eaten in so long.... so i give it some protein.

i keep a jug of milk in my little fridge so when i wake up at night i just pour mix shake and drink. You have a good idea. :thumbup:

take casein, its absorbed more slower than whey which equals more benefits when ur asleep :thumbup:

Take cottage cheese before bed time. Your body will feed on it for quite a while when you are asleep.

its just the hygene i dont like. my mouth feels disgusting cause i keep drinking these every night so its as if i never brush my teeth anymore.... yuck

doesn't it turn the protein to fat while you sleep since the body is not digesting it more than when you're awake and active?

I don't think this is a good idea because you are interrupting sleep. For maximum muscle recovery you should get between 8 and 9 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep

I take some before bed w/ some milk since I tend to do my ab workout a little bit before I go to sleep.

the sleep is that fragile?.... it has to be uninterrupted?

im only awake for like a minute, im still like stuck in the sleepiness by the time i finish drinking so i fall right back to sleep.

I take a time release protein, like Designer Why Glycerlean or Muscle Milk. Basically its like liquid cottage cheese... Muscle Milk is amazingly tasty, but high in Sat Fats...
