Bedtime snack

I need some info here guys,i cant seem to figure this 1 out so good.For my bedtime snack i sometimes have 30g casein and 2 tbs peanut butter(carbs included),then i sleep right through the night,but i was thinking about the insulin spike the carbs give at that late hour.Wont it store fat because my physical levels is like -0 at that time?

Then when i just have the casein without the carbs,i wake up at about 2am with a hole in my stomach,then i cant sleep till i eat something again.

So which is better for a bedtime snack - protein and very little or no carbs?
or - protein with carbs?

depending on your body type... I allways add a carb, (very slow acting) and not much 20 grams or so with around 40 grams protein before bed... I don't want my body using to much of the protein for energy, hence adding a carb.

Hey tiny, I believe you should restrict carbs as much as possible right before bed but I hear you when you say you wake up real hungry.
Try having some whey mixed with cottage cheese right before bed. I find this works really well for me but I do through a 3/4 tub every evening which gets pricey

take a tub of cottage cheese,mix your whey and peanut butter into a little paste with a little bit of water then add in half the tub of cottage cheese,mix it up and its like having cheese cake before u go to bed..

sorry jay man didnt see your post,if u where to mix macadamia nut oil or peanut butter with your cottage cheese and whey u will feel satisfied longer but be warned,its fucking yummy.

no worries, thanx dj will try the added peanut butter this evening

make sure its the blackcat with the yellow lid..

I've got some natural peanut butter (low carb) from our boys at gateway health

good shop that,the owner and the guy who work there are very friendly and try and help out as much as possible

know them both personally, awesome guys

Im not sure that PB has that many carbs in it in the first place. As far as I know its probably the best thing to take with Casien. Also the EFA's in PB/Macadamia Nut butter will deliver the Protein over a longer period, regulates Hormones such a GH when you are sleeping.

Number 1 choice in my books.
