Mid-Night Protein Shake?

[EcToMoRpHiAn]

I have been thinking about waking up mid-night to drink a protein shake. I have a man-fridge right next to my bed, so it would be convienent. Currently on a cycle of SD, so it may be worth it to have a constant flow of protein. Any input on this? It would probably be skim milk and 40g whey.

whey and milk would cuz a spike in slin levels imo...what about casien protien or egg whites pasturized?

So maybe cassein and water or whey and water would be better? I just can't think of a downside to having a constant flow of protein. If mixed with water, is there any possibility this would increase fat retention?

personally i would eat like a high protien meal 30 min b4 bed then protien shake in the morning i would rather not be disturbed during my sleep its when your body is recovering thats just what works for me though

Yea go with cassien, i was just stating whey and milk will cuz slin spikes and possibly lead to bf accumulation. so go with water and cassien

Too much fat and carbs for me before bed. But yes they are very delicious, probably my favorite protein.

I do the same thing. My shake consists of faster and slower digesting proteins. I have some soy isolate, micellar casein, casseinates and egg. Mix with water, flax and BCAA's and you're set.
