    If your PWO meal is before bed I would do a protein/fat meal.

    Something like Lean Red Meat and EFA's (EVOO, Fish Oil, Flax Seed Oil).

    Meat is already absorbed slwoly, and the healthy fats will slow down digestion even further.

    Or you could also have a Casein shake with EFA's instead of meat.

    I wouldn't recommend normal Whey protein without anything else because absorbtion is very fast, and you'll have an empty stomach for the rest of the night.

    BCAA's is also a good idea right before hitting the bed sheets.

    Natural PB is better because it's usually lower in carbs and has no sugar.

    i agree with most of this, but my problem with it is that it isn't incorporating the fact that there are several types of proteins at our disposal and they can be used interchangable

    so to the OP, my suggestion IF PWO is also your last meal would be something along these lines

    15-20g of protein worth of whey protein isolate
    30-40g of protein worth of red meat
    fish oil

    a low GI carb source could be used if you want to as well to increase protein synthesis, but pairing these proteins will create a spike of amino acids in the bloodstream that gradually will go down as the whey is digested and the beef starts to digest(creating a trickle effect throughout the night)
