How many of you wake up in the middle of the night and down a protein shake? How important is doing that? I keep hearing how your body goes catabolic at night because you go so long without eating. On the other hand I also hear that it's good for your body to have a break from food and have some time to for processing and elimination. It does seem more "natural" not to eat in the middle of the night but of course it's not natural to carry a lot of muscle so I'm not sure.

I would think that uninterrupted sleep is more important.


But that's just me.

Try drink a casein based protein shake before going to bed if it's so important.

Casein has a 8 hour release.

BTW, creating an insuline spike stops the GH, and in the night the body mostly burns fat, so if you are not EXTREMLY low in bf, there's no way you should get up in the night to eat or drink.

Maybe a deep tissue massage could help. Just PM tbombz.

BTW, I didn't mean waking up in the middle of the night with an alarm clock and disrupt your sleep. If you're drinking enough water should get up at least once at night to pee. That when you down the shake.

I've never heard of this.  Sure, there will be times when I'll get the urge to pee during the night, but for the most part, most people from the age of 6 to about 66 will hold it all night.

sure, protein creates an insuline response as well, not only carbs.

besides, most protein shakes have a decent amount of carbs in them.
protein causes a mild bump in insulin, not comparabl;e to glucose...however protein also causes a bump in glucagon...antagonistic to insulin... sort of "cancels" each other out

I fill my mouth with big bites of roast beef right before I lay down.

it is slowly broken down as I sleep, delivering a nonstop rush of protein to blast my muscle receptors.

hardcore, bitches.

Getting up in the middle of the night to eat = hardcore to the extreme.

When I sleep I am in too much of a "I don't give a fuck mode" to do that !

hell, everynight I say to myself when I need to take a piss: "Ok....... do I reallly get up to take a piss or do I piss in the bed"

u need ur sleep alot more than u need a protein shake in the middle of the nite.

just eat some slow digesting proteins before u go to bed and  you'll be alright if ur that worried about it.

i used to, but its worthless .. unless your on some serious cycle... having a decent sized meal (with beef,chicken, or fish) would suffice

'Protein shake in the middle of the night.'  means something quite different to Vince Goodrum.

I train damn hard, but I also love my sleep. When I am at the most intense part of my training cycle, I make a shake before I go to bed, and then if I awake (either because feel hungry or I need a piss), often around 3am, I grab it from the fridge nd gulp it down - just takes 30 secs to do, before going back to bed again...

I don't know why people are confusing eating in the middle of the night and drinking a shake. Ever drink those Isopure drinks in the glass bottle? 40 grams of pure protein (no carbs) and one of the most refreshing drinks you can have. If I could afford it I'd drink that instead of water.

waste of good sleep
True. I know guys and I used to myself purposely set my alarm to wake up to drink a shake because of the thought of going catabolic or because I thought it would keep me ahead of the game. Now I realize that unbroken sound sleep is even MORE anabolic than waking up on purpose for a shake.


 I often make a musclemilk shake at night and leave it in the fridge. If I have to wake up to piss at 3am I'll take a few swings of that and go back to bed more because it tastes good not because I think it will give me some sort of edge.
