Food and Sleep............

Does it really matter how close to bed you last pro/fat meal is? Say you train late and only have a PW shake prior to bed. WOuld it be detremental or inhibit fat storage by eating a nice size meal a few minutes before you crash>

I dont get this....

Thanks for the response and my apologies if I wasn't clear. Here's the situation. I train about 6pm-7pm.......get my shake in about 7:30. By the time I make it home, feed the pooch, shower, get shit together it's about 9pm and I literally crash (from exhaustion and due to the fact I'm up again at 5am) at 9:15. So, I've been having about 1/2 cup of dry curd cc and about 30-40 peanuts minutes before I zonk out....does this fudge up digestion? Will it lead to fat storage since I zonk out right after? Thanks.........

ok u need to meausre ur food intake using a digital scale...and determine ur calorie intake....diet is good but needs some work.....read the 2 bulking stickies....i know its a hassle and time consuming...but it works....

Dry curd is 10x better than norm. cc............one tub is about 400 cals, 80g of pro, 4 carbs and 2g of sugar.........I eat 1/2 each meal........

what would you change? SC - you said pro/carb, but it's 2 secs before bed.........fat slows the digestion of protein, no? WHy would I want carbs to go to bed?

Simply put:

If you have performed an activity (weight training) that demands you replinish glycogen stores and begin the recovery process (pwo meals), it does not matter what time of the day you eat those meals, even before bed. Reason being, those nutrients will be used for recovery/repair, and will not be stored as fat.

Where people screw the pooch, is having TOO MUCH in their 2nd pwo meal right before bed, and too much of anything at ANY time is going to be stored as fat. So, make sure the amounts you ingest are correct for your stature/goals, and you'll be good to go.

[Flex2winny]

You said "gotcha", but then you listed peanuts/almonds/cc as your 2nd pwo meal.
