Thread: Bedtime Snack Question

  1. #1

    Bedtime Snack Question

    I recently switched from the following about 30 min. before bed:

    1.5 cup 1% Cottage Cheese
    2 tbls PB w/ celery

    Calories=400
    Fat=16
    Carbs=15
    Protein=36

    to

    1.5 cup 4% Cottage Cheese

    Calories=360
    Fat=15
    Carbs=12
    Protein=39

    Is this a good switch? Am I taking in enough fat and protein before bed? I'm doing a clean bulk right now.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think it's fine. I'm not very experienced with this but it's not a significant drop in fat - besides, the protein went up and the calories went down. If you are getting the calories you need to bulk already, losing 40 calories isn't too bad.

    you're good to go (but I hate cottage cheese)

    although I myself prefer a small casein shake, two tbsp PB and a stick of low-fat string cheese.. so thats 40g protein, 23g fat and 10g carbs = 407 kcals

    Its hard to tell, one must know the total caloric and macro consumption to really tell whether it is enough or not.
