    Well, my PWO meal is 2 scoops of Myofusion w/ 1/2 cup oats (don't want too many carbs here as i'm cutting).

    30 minutes later, i'm eating a PPWO meal - 4oz white fish w/ spinach and a tsp of EVOO, OR 1 whole omega3 egg + 1/2 cup egg whites w/ spinach.

    Right before bed, I do either a casein shake (1 scoop) or 6oz 1% milkfat no-salt added cottage cheese. So, i'm getting a good deal of nutrition during my PWO / before bed window.

    That is indeed a good PWO nutrition altogether, congrats.

    I think your body is going to suck up all those nutritions after an intense workout and considering the fact that there is absolutely nothing in there to raise your blood sugar to a considerable extent before you go to bed means a greater secretion of GH while sleeping also with the help of both casein and cottage cheese.

    I seriously think with this new system, you will turn out to be a bigger looking BB without incremented BF and most likely with better sleep, followed by better mood, higher energy levels overall and maybe even better performance at the gym. I am generally not a very optimistic person FYI, but I do honestly think you will benefit a whole a lot more with this schedule from a nutrition point of view.

    Good luck and keep us informed.

    Well, I only had 2 days to try it, and yes - I couldn't sleep on either of them lol! I attributed this to the overall change in my routine though... hoping it passes or this will not work out for me. =(
