Peanut Butter

[wingsta]

Hi all first off thanks to all the peeps that put so much work into the sticky's and others posts on here in regards to diet. I am 35yo 15%bf 224 pounds.

I started at 20%bf just 4 weeks ago but thanks to the great diet advice here i am down to 15% already and have 8 weeks to go .

My question is on a bulking diet why do bodybuilders have a teaspoon of peanut butter at night? When i get to 10%bf i want to start a ASS cycle and bulk up a little was just curious how the PB works and why they take it?

Any help appreciated i just like to learn.

longer digestive times. and natural peanut butter isn't bad for you when it can provide mono and polyunsaturated fats.

Thanks nova. So longer digestive time = more food for the muscles to feed on while your asleep?

Is that the theory?

[Deltasaurus]

not a theory, Fat slow digestion and lowers the GI now u take a slow digesting protein like beef and add say a bit of peanut butter and u slow the digestion even more so your muscles are provided with Amino's throughout the night

so lets say about a half of a cup of cottage cheese and 2 T of natty p.b. before bed and Im golden?

so you are going to start a ASS cycle,lol,just messing with you bro, i usually have 1-2 tbls of pb,1 serving cottage cheese and drink some casein protein,slow digestion and slow proteins to give your body what it needs while you sleep and fast.
