before bed (CBL bulking)

[leonard francois]

Currently on CBL, still trying to bulk, and right now I take 25g of whey isolate right before bed, training day or not.I understand cottage cheese might be better (is it?) but I am lactose intolerant, so I'm afraid digestive issues might mess up my beauty sleep. Also cottage cheese is pretty hard to find in France, where I live.Would hard cheese like emmental work well? It has about 28g of fat and 28g of protein (pretty much no carbs) in a 100g slice, and very low lactose. It is much fatter than cottage cheese so I'm not sure how it would interact with growth hormone release and such, or if it could slow the digestion of the last carby meal I ate about an hour before bed.what do you think?

Try more fat before bed.. Myself right before bed I have a shake with berries, almond butter, coconut cream, and red palm oil

Like Sano, I do a big hit of fat before bed..Usually a warmed up mix of almond butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, half scoop of wheyormix up heavy cream, almond butter, cocoa powder, and half scoop of casein (makes a yummy mousse-like concoction.)

I eat cured meats and cheese every night before bed. Again, high fat.RB

Eggs cooked in butter, cottage cheese w/peanut butter, and chocolate avocado mousse are my favorites

Just eat any whole food protein source.  Meat will work just as well as cottage cheese.

High GI will spike insulin.High fats will not.
