Protein before bed
Hey crew question is should you drink protein before bed if youre trying to lose weight some say yes some say no whats youre opinion on it any advice would be great
Don't take this the wrong way, but I get the impression you could use a little guidance on nutrition. Are you taking in enough calories throughout the day? Even if you're trying to lose weight, you'll have to keep those cals up in order to fuel your metabolism.
Short answer: Yes. You should take in protein right before bed. If you're going the shake route, I'd add 1-2 Tblspns of natural peanut butter. That'll slow down the digestion and keep your body fed all night. I personally perfer real food. My before bed go-to's are cottage cheese, whole eggs, or some chicken breast with olive oil.

X2 on this. Keeping your body fed is paramount if you're trying to shed fat. I'm a big fan of peanut or almond butter at bedtime and washing it down with a shake.

thanks bro i try to ear right during the day i should hire a nutritionist make my life easier thank you for the advice
IŽd definiteyl advice either having a shake or a whole food protein source before bed.
This is the correct advice.
Since OP Is focusing on losing weight. Protein should be a staple in every meal. Muscle Protein Synthesis requires a certain amount of leucine (3g) to maximize muscle protein synthesis.
Eggs, Steak, Chicken, Whey, Cottage Cheese, Yogurt, Tuna, Turkey are all good souces. what matters most in this situation is a caloric deficit and meeting proper protein, fat, carbs, and micro nutrients in a 24 hour period.
I would start right here OP with making sure you are setting up your diet correct to put yourself into a deficit and get your fat loss journey started correct. Evenly distribute protein throughout each meal to make sure you are giving your body what it needs at each and every meal. Always aim for a variety of foods, veggies, fruits, and other food sources and take notes on what digests best for you. Not everyone responds the same to any outlined diet or meal plan.
Whole foods are definitely the go-to. However, if you can't, Ive done milk and protein before bed on a successful cut. Just make sure you're hitting your macros

Funny, as soon as I looked at the top of this thread I thought, I know that sometimes I do and sometimes I don't depending on if I've hit my target for the day or not... but I thought right away, "Let's see what Roman(Rex) says..."
Yes, sir.
How do you expect to run with the wolves at night if you spend all day stuntin with the puppies?

Question though Rex.
I've read a lot about how taxing it can be on the system to always be processing foods. In the off season, do you every think intermittent fasting is bemneficial to give your digestive system a rest?

If you ask me, a professional athlete, carrying an above average amount of muscle, training hard with a body in constant state of breakdown, repair and hypercompensation/hypertrophy can not afford to take 16-20 hours per day off from ingesting recovery aiding nutrients.
In short, no.

Considering Muscle Protein Synthesis has been shown to be best with 3-5g of leucine or around 40g of protein every 4-5 hours. Fasting would just hamper the benefits of MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) .. You are actually giving the body less time to digest all the food you are trying to process. For gym goers who are intaking 200-300-400g of protein if you are going to try and stuff that in an 8 hour window is it really optimal? Most likely not.
Going up further to 40 g, results in a approximately 10% higher MPS rates
However, this study found that 40 g of protein resulted in approximately 20% higher higher MPS rates compared to 20 g
The addition of a larger amount of leucine (4.25 gram) to the 6.25 gram whey did further improve MPS, with MPS rates being similar to the 25 gram of whey. This indicates that the addition of a relatively small amount of leucine to a low dose of protein can be as effective as a much larger total amount of protein.
40 g of protein prior to sleep increases MPS during overnight sleep (Res, 2012). Protein supplementation (27.5 g) prior to sleep during a 12-week resistance training program improves muscle mass and strength gains (Snijders, 2015).
Cliffs:
Eat 4-5 meals spread throughout the day: e.g. breakfast, lunch, post-workout shake, dinner, and pre-sleep.
Eat 20-40 g protein at each meal. Amounts above 20 g give a small additional benefit.
Choose animal protein (whey protein is the best). Or compensate by eating larger amount of plant protein.

Good words Kodiak, and what my system prefers as well. Diggin the Choco. Coconut Animal whey, but have added 2 spoons of PB to my pre snooze shakes for some years now it.
Plus I take a SportPharma Multi V ( save my PAK for post workout in the mornings ) and have noticed I also sleep quite a bit deeper.
To make PROGRESS, you have to learn to be COMFORTABLE with being UNCOMFORTABLE.
Those who worry the most about overtraining are the ones that don't train HARD enough and aren't STRONG enough to need to worry about it.
I've always been a big fan on cottage cheese before bed. But I also have gone through periods of a shake w/ pb. I typically wake up during the middle of the night once or twice, so I've been known to have a shake made in the fridge incase I wake up thirsty, I'd just down a shake in the middle of the night. Cottage cheese has always seemed to treat me right for food right before bed though.

Not a fan of regular cheese myself. But I definitely have had my fair share of cottage cheese tubs before bed as well
Shake of vanilla casein pro, with three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Dash of cinnamon, for taste.
I rather use Macadamia Nut oil for a shake like this as it tastes much better and provides an even better fatty acid profile as far as monounsaturated fatty acids are concerned

I've ate 50-60 grams protein 30 minutes before bed, woke up 3 hours later and ate another meal with same amount of protein pre contest, just so I could get all my meals in for the day. Do I recommend waking yourself up to eat, no. I would prefer to get all meals in before bed, but eating protein within an hour before bed is not uncommon for me year round.
