Staying up late for one last meal!?

[IBdmfkr]

Who here stays up an extra two hours after eating just to drink a shake or eat one last meal? Do you think those two extra hours of sleep would be more beneficial than this last meal? Just a thought. For example, 6 hours of sleep w/meal or 8 without. Meal consisting of 5-800calories before bed, bulking.

LOL, I do this practically every night...It's hard fitting 10 meals in per day now

I belive staying up a little longer is more beneficial for putting on size. JMO

Agreed, I'm just so damn TIRED because of doing this everyday. Hard to hit 5000 clean calories, even if you start early in the morning.

Another 2 hours of sleep is a lot more beneficial, that extra protein shake won't do any good if your muscles arent well rested.

Yes, it is REALLY hard, that is why most people don't do it. But it can be done to an extent. My current diet is approx. 300g protein, 600 carbs, 110 fat. Comes out to about 4500-4600 calories, sometimes I can squeeze in another small meal, "if I stay up an extra 2 hours" and break 5000. I would think disturbing your sleep pattern would be worse than going to bed later, even though it would help you maintain a positive nitrogen balance.

i do in precontest..

[SHRED]

I do on my off training days.

i wake up 3-4 times a night so i just have a shake when i wake up.

[IBdmfkr]

I think I'll stick to staying up and drinking a shake, rather than waking up in the middle of the night.

Ditto. Honestly, I can wake up chug my protein shake (w/ natty peanut butter) and go back to sleep without a problem. If I don't get at least 7 hours, I'm tired all day.
