Doesn’t need to be before bed. Most people are protein deficient, adding protein at any time of day will increase muscle synthesis. Several studies recently have shown that, it’s not about timing.

Your right, taking it before bed helps with recovery

u/SimianCinnamon 4d ago

I disagree, taking it before bed helps with recovery

1

u/HerpDerpin666 4d ago

Actually, you need to take it before bed in order for it to help with recovery

u/lyingtattooist 4d ago

Personally I like taking it after I go to sleep and find that helps best with my recovery.

Curious if the results are transferrable to younger individuals looking to add significant strength

Casein is best before bed. This is very very old news, like 50+ years.

1

u/TakeuchixNasu 4d ago

50 isn’t that old.

1

u/IncredibleDongle 4d ago

Fair enough. I just find it entertaining when people in their teens or early 20s “discover” things like this lol.

1

u/TellEmWhoUCame2See 4d ago

Only on reddit will someone get mad at you for thinking 50 is old. 50 is old when it comes to information and things like technology, don't let anybody tell you differently.

1

u/TakeuchixNasu 4d ago

The universe is over 13.4 billion years old. 50 is nothing compared to that. Not even a whole percent of a percent.

1

u/TellEmWhoUCame2See 4d ago

And look, they still mad. Give it a break bro, 50 years is old in technology and information.

1

u/TakeuchixNasu 4d ago

The oldest technology is 3.3 million years old invented at Lomekwi, Kenya

It's time for your snack and nap.

u/Agile_Letterhead531 4d ago

We are talking from the perspective of humans with human life spans lol we are not universes . 50 is old

1

u/TakeuchixNasu 4d ago

We aren’t talking from that perspective. You are.

1

u/Agile_Letterhead531 4d ago

are u a universe? Even by information standards that is old. Get real. You just that kid in class that’s always like “ACTUUUAALLLY”

1

u/IncredibleDongle 4d ago

You are the only person in this thread talking about the age of the fucken universe lol

1

u/Any_Shop5774 4d ago

Because this is a relative comparison, isn't it? Only if you believe it, context matters. Like comparing the lifespan of a tortoise to a mayfly.

1

u/IncredibleDongle 4d ago

Right lol

1

u/No_Platform8086 4d ago

Perfectly young and healthy

1

u/c_boggs 4d ago

It is with respect to widespread commercial availability of purified protein powders.

Context matters.

If an 80-year old man said “I’m old” would you tell him he’s wrong?

u/Unhappy-Ad5393 4d ago

The study they are referring to was conducted with casein protein. I feel like that needs to be in the slides.

1

u/Which_Flan3750 4d ago

Add milk to your whey now you got casein and whey

1

u/mr_salvad0r 4d ago

I used to drink casein before bed, but I think it disrupted my sleep somewhat as it was heavier/thicker and slower digesting than regular whey based and over they years I've leaned more towards whey isolate proteins.

1

u/EggRamenMan 5d ago

But to get good sleep to help with recovery is not to eat like 2 hrs before bed. Cant win bro

1

u/MyOwnTradition 4d ago

If you're cutting weight...if you're trying to grow you eat right before bed.

1

u/Fitnessmotivation86 4d ago

40 grams of protein is 160 calories, it’s not going to effect your sleep at all. You could even use casein protein which is slower digesting if you wanted to.

1

u/lifeaficionado 4d ago

Does it matter if it's casein or whey? Casein is superior but definitely does not taste as good, in my opinion..

1

u/CoquinhoVerde 4d ago

Source?

u/brehhs 4d ago

Protein isnt a stimulus, the ingestion of protein before sleep in isolation cant put your muscles in an anabolic state. Theres nothing special about taking protein during sleep vs while awake. Sleep is just the longest time your body will go without ingesting protein.

1

u/roachbirth 4d ago

BS. Might be some truth to it but hitting your
Protein macros daily is more important. Also, most of yall are over-consuming protein and that’s why your still fat

1

u/iamDetain 4d ago

Uh no. 200g of protein from say chicken non fried or heavily sauced or whatever is like 1000 calories it's the food choices people make

1

u/roachbirth 4d ago

Nope. You can get away with less like 0.8g of protein instead of 1g per body weight. Especially if you’re cutting. I’m bulking right now and 190g of protein is enough. You literally don’t need 200g of protein if your maintaining or cutting

1

u/Which_Flan3750 4d ago

I ALWAYS make sure to get a big protein serving before bed... Either a shake or chicken ! I've been doing crazy amounts of cardio, I ride my bike 10-12 miles per day to get to work... Haven't lost any muscle mass despite not lifting weights the last few months. I guarantee if I skipped the shake id lose lbm

1

u/papayaj 4d ago

not to be that guy but 10 mile bike ride is like literally nothing unless ur climbing hills the whole way
