hey guys so i will be starting my second cycle soon, however now that I have a full time job only time I can manage to go to the gym is at night time.
therefore I will only have time to have one shake and one meal before going to sleep.
will going to the gym at night, having one meal, and then not eating for 6 hrs while sleeping have a negative effect on gains for a hard gainer?
eat liquid egg white before bed. pure protein, natures best source, and burns for roughly 4 to 6 hours.

I've heard some set their alarm so they can get up at night to eat but I'm not going to voluntarily interrupt my sleep for anything.
I do this because I always wake up in the middle of the night to go pee so I just mix a shake and set it on the shelf above my toilet.Quote:

Edit: I do all of my training in the evening, and for a long time now have only had a shake post training and that is it. I used to train right after work and I had plenty of time to pack in the calories post training, but right now with my schedule I need to eat when i get off work, and it still works fine.
I am not on AAS (yet), but I have been training at night for a few years. For me, I try to load up on protein and some carbs earlier in the day and then stop a few hours before training (otherwise I'm too full). After the gym have a light but high-protein meal has worked well for me.
I have run into a couple of the things. I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep because I am worked up from working out and/or taking a nighttime shower. Sometimes it's hard to eat because it's just late. I have missed my kids' bedtime, sometimes which I've changed.
If I could, I'd work out at like 2 PM every day.
Good luck man.
why only 1 meal before bed?Quote:

Don't over think things. If you eat enough day to day week to week you will grow. Meal timing really doesn't make that big of a difference.
Doesn't matter when you eat as'long as you hit all your macros for the day.
