Question about carbs before bed
If I'm trying to put on as much lean mass as possible, is it a good or bad idea to have carbs before sleeping?
Typically my last 2 meals contain very little carbs (chicken & broccoli for #5 and then Casein & Natural PB for #6 before sleep). If I am trying to put on lean mass, should I stick to this, or should I think about adding in some carbs? Whether it's brown rice, oats, etc.
Thanks!

LoL sorry I cost you $20 bro, I was busy having the time of my life taking my mother out for her birthday. Just me and her.... joy.
Anyway, I think carbs before bed is a bad idea no matter what. A few grams is fine, but you already get that from say a casein shake and a tbsp or 2 of natty PB.
I wouldn't intentionally eat carbs before bed under the logic that you're trying to add mass. They will very likely be stored as fat since there is little need for energy while you sleep, plus you're already eating fat with it, so you increase the risk of THAT being stored too.
Bad idea IMO.... just my .02 !!

Everyones different and it depends on what carbs you are eating and what the rest of your diet looks like.
I would not recommend anything other than broccoli, green beans or spinach if you wished to eat carbs before bed.
My pre bed meal from my cutting diet (which has carbs in it)...
70g chicken breast
3 x whole eggs
100g broccoli
All cooked up in a frying pan like an omelet. About 45g pro, 7g carbs, 15g fats.

ok, sounds like I will continue to keep carbs out of my last 2 meals (except for the broccoli and other trace carbs), thanks!
