ZZZZZZZZZ protein????

[KellysGymCarver]

Ok peeps, here's my quandry.
What do most of you do about making sure you have enough protein to cover the time while you are sleeping, and is it such a big deal if you are on cycle?
I know there have been countless articles about needing time release protein intake, or just some type of food that breaks down slowly as to "drip feed" the system overnight.
I remember back in the day my traning partners use to all call each other up in the middle of the night just to remind each other to take a protein shake!!! That's back about 20 years ago and nothing mattered but the gym and clubbing to us anyways.
OK, enough from me.......your turn. KGC

well.....when i'm trying to put on size i often times drink a muscle milk and eat a pbj before bed.....now, when i am trying to lean out i cut all milk products, bread and sugar first thing, so i usually only take whey protein isolate. in that case before bed time meals mostly consist of tuna or a small peice of salmon both of which has a slower absorbtion rate kinda like the casein in the muscle milk.

When I'm bulking I'll have a shake right before I go to bed but for other days when I'm off the juice I'll just eat a decent size meal.

bulk or cutting, if there is beef around i'll eat some leftover steak or hamburger before bed...

for a protein shake the slowest releasing one on the market right now is probably the new Dymatize Elite 12hour (or so they say).....its cheap too!

dymatize tastes like ass too, lol

Another option is to take BCAAs/EAAs before bed to prevent catabolism. You can do it when you're cutting and watching your diet too.

Thanks bros, lots of good things for me to try. I'm sure that any one or combo will work fine. It's not like I'm training for a show or anything, but training for summer means that much to me every year, especially living in the northeast where you only get to go outside in a t-shirt 3 months out of the fucking year!!!! Thanks again, and more ideas are welcome from all........KGC

well, its not Syntha-6 but i wouldnt say Dymatize protein tastes like ass. There really arent that many low fat protein powders that taste great on the market.....since this isnt Bodybuilding.com i'll say Syntrax Nectar is one of the few.
