Need some advice.
I'm currently bulking and have spent a long time sorting out my diet and macro etc.
When ever I try to bulk I all ways get night sweats, after doing some research I think this May be down to T.E.F. I have My last meal (actually it's a shake as I usually can't stomach any more whole food by this time of the day) is usually consumed between 30-45 mins before going to bed.
So down to the matter in hand, is that last meal really as important as it's made out to be? Most of what I read is saying to consume protein before bed as it help stop muscle loss but I must be sweating out a fairly large amount of water and salts etc as I'm waking up in the night and often having to change my t-shirt as it's so damp it's uncomfortable. I guess then the main question I have here is what's more important eating before sleep or not losing all that water?
I can deal with the night sweats if that meal is going to make a real difference, I currently cope by drinking a glass of water when I get up to change my t-shirt but it would be nice to get a comfortable nights sleep (I'm still getting around 8 hours sleep a night but I'm not sure how good the quality of that sleep is)
Any ideas of what I should do would be helpful, I'm happy to change what I eat before bed if anyone thinks this would help or should I just either give up on that meal. Maybe I should man up a deal with the sweats while I bulk but I'm interested to know your thoughts.
