hey guys
when is the best time to take in a protein shake besides post or pre workot and before bed?? is taken a whey shake after waking or use at as a meal replacement later on in the day?
-
As soon as you wake up in the morning, whey is a good way to end the overnight fasting because it is fast absorbing.
-
While takin a leak inthe middle of the night. Only 1/2 scoop though.

Yes, if its a slow absorbing (casein) protein.

why not a fast one? better than nothing right? How many of you actually do this?

I agree better than nothing. However, let's say you sleep 8 hours. So you go to bed at 10:00 p.m., wake up at 12:00 a.m. to pee and then drink down your whey shake (20g protein). You have thus consumed a quick absorbing protein, the bulk of the 20g is in your system within an hour, leaving 5g of protein to digest and feed your muscles over 5 hours. In contrast, a casein based shake will provide a more even distribution of protein to your muscles over the course of the night and is thus a better option for avoiding night time catabolism.

Very true, thats why I mentioned 1/2 scoop, since I wake up about 3-5 times a night to drain the kid, thats a 2 scoop total throughout the night.
KEEP ON KEEPIN ON yeah!

25 grams of whey mixed with two cups of nonfat skim milk before bed will do the trick till morning, or instead of milk eat a cup of nonfat cottage cheese and have a whey shake too.
