Casein Before Bed or any protein shake?

[jliftsbig]

Hey all, do you do any pre-bed protein shakes or meals?

I have read this study saying performance is higher after consuming before bed, but also conflicting info saying does not do much benefit if you get your protein intake daily.

Just trying to see what you fellas are doing if anything...thinking about adding glass of milk, nuts or casein

This is the other study I read -

The Impact of Pre-sleep Protein Ingestion on the Skeletal Muscle Adaptive Response to Exercise in Humans: An Update

This review provides an update on recent research assessing the effect of pre-sleep protein ingestion on muscle protein synthesis rates during overnight sleep and the skeletal muscle adaptive response to exercise training. Protein ingested prior to sleep ...

Everything I've read has shown that the most important thing is getting your total protein amount daily, spread out fairly evenly over 3-6 meals during the day, which should be spaced fairly evenly apart.

If you want to get some of that protein before bed, then go for it. If the slower digesting component of casein appeals to you, I'd consider cottage cheese instead of the casein shake. It's even slower to digest than the casein powder, since it's a whole food.

Thanks @CJ cottage cheese is delicious with some fruit and totally forgot about it, haven't eaten it in over a year used to get the little breakstone ones with the pineapple

Like CJ said, total macros over the day. Don't fall into the marketing bullshit. Protein is protein. Preferably from a dead animal. If you can't hit your number for the day a shake is alright but it shouldn't be part of your meal plan.

I believe the slower digestion protein before bed makes a lot of sense.

all bullshit

It can't all be.

Someone has to be right.

I believe the slower digestion protein before bed makes a lot of sense.

Why?

 

[Creature0]

Why?

So it digests during sleep.

 

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

So it digests during sleep.

What would be the benefit from that?

 

[Creature0]

What would be the benefit from that?

Not going for 8 hours without protein absorption.

 

[Test_subject]

Not going for 8 hours without protein absorption.

It doesn’t matter, though. As long as you’re getting enough in one day it makes no difference whether it digests while you’re sleeping, awake, drunk or smoking crack.

 

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

Not going for 8 hours without protein absorption.

How much of a time difference would that really be?

 

[Creature0]

How much of a time difference would that really be?

It depends how slow the digestion really is.

 

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

Give a best guesstimate. A range if you want.

What happens when it’s all digested?

Absorption.
