Eating in the middle of the night !

[jamesz123]

I notice that when I wake up at night to pee I feel that I am starving.
Would that not be a good time to put something in my mouth. Like something easy to make high in protein. What is the best choice ?

Whey Protien ?
Have two scoops ready and all I do is put water or skim milk in it and shake - drink.

Cottage Cheese ?
Easy to swallow a couple of spoons.

Cooked Chicken ?
have a couple of bits

This might make a difference. Little things add up especially when on a cycle plus I think it builds good habit. Soon I might be having a proper meal in the middle of the night and still be able to sleep before and after.
Any suggestions please ?

I do cottage cheese if I have it, yogurt, banana or peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

cottage cheese would be the best or a slow acting protein shake

The emphasis is mostly on protein at that time of night, right ?
So banana by itself might not be it. The other combos make sense I suppose.
thx

Are you 'starving' hungry or just 'hungry' hungry? If you're starving it means you aren't eating enough during the day, if you're 'hungry' hungry that is normal.

I have my last protein shake before I go to sleep. Literally while im in bed catching the last of my TV. But if I was to wake up, I would say chicken/cottage cheese.

hungry.
The main thing is that I have heard that your body ideally (for bodybuilding needs) should consistently have a supply of quality protein. Jay Cutler for one is big on this.

x2...or I just eat straight peanut butter out of the jar with soy milk to wash it down.

Cottage cheese or peanut butter are my favs. But i've also had a piece or two of pizza if i was really wanting to gain weight.

Cottage cheese has some fat , greek yogurt doesn't and has more protein than cc.
