Is it bad to drink protein right before you go to bed?
why would it be
>>36916813
Yeah your body doesnt process anything while you sleep you wont get any gains by doing this. Waste.
>>36916819
Fuck if I know that's why I'm asking
I was told that so long as it does not go over your calories it will keep your metabolism turning longer during the night and help with wakefulness in the morning and discourage a heavy breakfast.
>>36916813
Not at all. If it has casein protein in it even better, it breaks down and synthesizes longer throughout the night
>>36916828
if you can't think of a reason it's bad then it's probably not bad dude
>>36916833
Maybe it's not even that, maybe I just want to talk to fellow /fit/ members and be reminded that everyone is going to make it

That's some good broscience exemple right there anon.

Speaking from my bro science perspective, muscles grow extra at night and protein helps muscles grow so yes.
Casein is better before bed, also because it releases slower, also the protein in milk has a high percent (I think 70 or 80%?) of slow release protein, so if you've had plenty of protein throughout the day a glass of milk may be a good enough substitute

ur a gud guy senpai
also is it bad to go to bed hungry on a bulk? will it potentially impede muscle growth?
most of the time i finish eating like an hour before bed and by the time i get in bed i'm hungry and have to eat, but i've already brushed my teeth
>>36916813
Casein protein is best before bed because it releases over time (about 8 hours) and works to help your muscles recover and heal while you sleep.
If you drink whey to get protein you're actually falling for the meme

Just a matter of convenience anon. The real meme is on how much protein you need for near-optimal results.
Amounts are way exaggerated by bodybuilders trying to sell their shit.
