Blended protien before bed?

beef_ Posts: 28 Joined: 2003/12/24	2004/02/03, 11:24 AM What kind of protien do you guys eat before bed? I know that it should be a broad spectrum of protiens so your body has a constant supply of aminios throughout the night, so I usually mix 40g whey protien and 4 egg whites with orange juice. I cant afford the blended protien so is there another good alternative? can you buy different protiens sepratly and mix them to make a more cost effective blended protien?

Have some meat, or an eggwhite omlette with one yolk and lots of omlette veggies (mix in a bit of chicken if you like),and a tbsp. of flax, or cottage cheese, a tbsp. of natural peanut butter, or cottage cheese, 2 tbsp. flax seed, and some eggwhites. Just some examples for you. Any of these are fine, just fit them into your calorie scheme. ============ Quoting from beef_: What kind of protien do you guys eat before bed?
