Here is a quick question First I am assuming a good pre bed meal is better than nothing at all correct? How soon before bed? My last meal with a good amount of carbs is at 8. I usually go to bed around midnight. So would something like 1 serving of fat free cottage cheese (15 p 5 carbs) fifteen minutes before bed be a good idea, anyother ideas? Is this something to avoid in dieting? Thanks Josh |

Are you dieting? I believe Joe told me that small amounts of carbs if you are going to bed around 2-3 hrs after is fine. Like 10 or less. More than that you are looking at going to bed around midnight. Joe? I remember you helping my anxiety on something like this, but its been a while What i do is if i am up late. I have more carbs and eat it about 4hrs before bed or longer. I usually go to bed around 1030 so at 9 i have a rice cake and 1tbsp pbutter and .5 scoop whey Interesting to see what Joe says Lucas |

I tend to have 60 carbs around 8, with a some fat and protein too. But come 10 I am starving again, and in the morning I am to the point of being sick. So i figured something before bed would do the trick. Again it is often midnight before I get to bed. You are right, lets see what Joe, and the others, have to say. |

Get something that will stick with you. Fat is good for that will make you feel more satieted for longer. Like i do PButter. Those carbs are going to make you hungry. Thats a legit meal, but then again you are extreme ecto. I know what you mean about waking up sick, You are just so hungry you cant sleep? ME TOO haha Lucas |

Check out Ultimate Muscle Protein by Beverly International. The cookies and cream flavor is yummy. One scoop with 2/3 C water and 1/3 C crushed ice in a blender is like a super thick ice cream shake and very filling. Only 125 cals 20g protein, 4 g carbs and 3 g fat.

Since you're eating 18,000,000 calories per day and are at 8% bf, I'd not worry about the time before bed as a hard rule, Josh, but I'd always suggest not having carbs with the last meal if you're dieting. Again, you're not dieting - a little carb there is fine. You don't have to eat right before bed, though - not the best for digestion....just don't go to bed hungry.
