Cottage Cheese

[Ritchie]

I hear about people taking this before they go to bed. Can someone tell me why? What are the benefits etc.

Thanks.

dairy = casein

casein takes longer to break down..

when u sleep your body is rebuilding itself.. its in major need of amino acids throughout the night..

if you were to, for example, eat chicken at 10pm and go to sleep, by 3am your body starts starving for nutrients and has nothing to restore muscle fiber with..

now in the case of casein, it takes 7-8hrs for it to break down and go through your system.. your body is fed longer when u sleep

the best thing to eat before bed, or near the latest meal of ur day is beef.. a good lean beef takes 18hrs to run through your system... so your body is getting a steady stream of amino acids as you sleep and therefore can repair and rebuild muscle...

hope that explains it

Did not know that! Thanks for the info!

I also didn't know that PB had a slow digesting protein in it.

I usually take in .75 cup cottage cheese and 1.5 tbsp natty pb before bed. Good to know it's the right thing!

Thanks for all the info, how much cottage cheese is a suitable amount to take would you say?

 

[Ritchie]

Infact just had some, and won't be trying that again. It's the worst tasting thing I've ever had.

No way! Cottage cheese = BOMB. Try mixing in a tbsp of PB with 1/2 a cup. So good!

Either I have the pallet of a camel or cottage cheese is delicious...

Ugh to each his own but I hate cottage cheese too. I can get it down but would rather not. Kinda like that tuna shake w/orange juice haha
