Please Help With Last Meal

[yolked315]

was up guys,

I was wondering if you guys could help me with my last meal of the night.

I workout late so my PWO meal is at about 7:30pm at night. It consists of 40g whey protien and 75g dextrose. I eat my last meal about 10:00pm and it also another shake but with flax. Would taking two shakes and eating no real food before bed be bad,and if so that do you guys suggest i should eat for my last meal.

thanks yolked

Get some cottage cheese, my favorite bedtime snack

A steak with some veggies is also a good choice

Ideally you should be having a second pwo meal containing a clean carb and lean protein source. This should be within at least 2 hours of your first pwo offering, putting your last meal earlier.

If in the proper amounts, you can replinish glycogen stores and adequately begin the recovery process, and not store excess as adipose tissue. I wouldn't have a fat/pro meal after a dextrose/whey shake, not even couple of hours after, aside from needing more carbs in the 1st place.

Thanks, I was wondering this for myself once I get back to school, because I have classes in the late afternoon, and would be running into the same time schedule.....

I'll definitely give that a whirl....

One thing, if I were to wake a few hours later and down a whey/flax shake (then returning to bed), would that be ok?

Sorry for the 'jack, but I feel it's rellevant to the thread subject...

If your "nocturnal protein" feeding is worked into your macros for your entire day/schedule, then I'd say that's fine.

However, I usually feel that the complex carbs, protein, and amount of food in my PWO2 is enough to hold me over for the night.

Thanks brutha.

Thanks for all the help. I will be adding a clean carb and lean protien in my last meal. How about 2 slices of whole wheat bread and some chicken.

I would suggest rice, yams/sweet potatoes, oats over bread any day...
