last meal before bed

[musclestack]

I workout at about 7:00PM for about an hour on my workout days. I immediately come home to have 2 scoops of whey protein. Then, at about 9:00, I have my final meal for the day. It consists of 300 grams lean steak, 6 egg whites, and 1 tbsp. olive oil. The problem is that I am ALWAYS still hungry about 30 minutes following this meal. I want to keep it pro/fat since it's just before bed. Is there anything you guys would suggest adding/replacing in this meal? I thought about just snacking on some nuts right before bed for an added fat source, but I don't know if this will be too much fat before bed??? Any suggestions?

you are probably not eating enough, mate. throw in a big salad and see what happens.

Cottage cheese on 100% whole rye or wheat (something super almost all fiber) crackers.
Nice slow absorption and will fill you up.

Try cottage cheese or casein blended with 2 tbpn. natural PB and a whole package of Silken Tofu Lite (maybe 150 cals all from protein - at most). Add some artificial sweetener. It's literally like a whole bowl of pudding, guilt-free.

Okay, thanks! I'll try something like a large salad or brocolli in olive oil/vinegar. I hate cottage cheese!

Does anyone else not disagree with him taking in zero carbs pwo? I'd at least throw some quick oats in that shake man.

Fibre = fuller longer....

i wish i got hungry 30 min after a meal

It depends. If he's trying to lose fat, PWO carbs on his schedule would likely be counter productive to some extent. Fats have a similar effect on synthesis and spare protein. To the OP: if you're cutting; add 15g of healthy fat to your shake! If not, yes, add like 1/2 cup of quick oats for sure.

Also, I think you should eat a whole-food meal right after your shake. You should have at least one whole-food meal PWO.

Thanks, guys! And Damien, I will add the fat to the shake as well.

How is the new diet going bro? Curious about your results since it was quite nice and looks similar to the one I'll be starting soon.

Another vote for cottage cheese

Did gain 1 Lb over a few weeks, which is around abouts where i want to be.

im going away this thursday tho so it sort of ****s everything up, im off again in august LOL. After august i have no comitments so can focus on the road ahead.

i will be running my second cycle in september. Test P @ 150mg EOD, with HCG throughout for 8 weeks.

going to run my diet just as stated in my diet thread, may increase fat intake as i start gaining weight as it was at only 70g, keeping cals at around the 4K mark.

I will let u knw tho and hit u with a PM

what about a good postworkout for cutting? Don't really like cottage cheese

Whey as your protein staple - usually 2 scoops, ~40g protein. And then either 15-20g healthy fat like flax oil, macadamia oil, natural nut butter, etc. OR 40g complex carbs like oats or sweet potato.

Another vote for cottage cheese and casein with milk in a shake. I have one every night right before I go to sleep. I'll throw some cinnamon in it for extra flavor.

I thought the man said he wanted to AVOID carbs before bed? Cottage cheese has 6 grams of carbs per cup. OP has been a member for over 5 years. Let's assume he knows what his goals are and just needs to curb his appetite. I think some of you might be over thinking this?

Well said. Also those carbs are via sugar (lactose but still sugar). Some people do not tolerate dairy well and it can inhibit vascularity regardless. It's a higher sodium food as well. A very strong vote for lean steak or casein here. Ideally, lean steak and a casein shake on-hand for midnight wake-up to pee scenario.

Is that what it's called now?

quick hijack...

It's funny. you see all these commercials on TV nowadays talking about prostrate health, overactive bladder syndrome. So I'm getting older right? And I get up about twice a night to drain the lizard, so I've been thinking I may have issues, and I'm a little concerned. So I'm talking to my woman about it, and she gets this funny expression on her face, and she says... "so you think it has nothing to do with the fact you drink everything out of your 1 litre beer mug, and you drink two or three of those full of diet tonic water after dinner every night?"

Haha, awesome. I'm a young man and I'm constantly pissing for the same reason. My best friend made a funny comment to me the other day as well. He noted that I was, "Pissing my life away."
