“What to eat if your hungry before heading for bed”

Filed under Nutritional Shakes... no comments

At Beachbody, they are always drilling the “no eating for 3 hours before bedtime rule” into your head and, sure enough, it’s important not to go to bed with undigested food in your stomach, especially carbohydrates and fat. So what about those nights when you’re so hungry that if you don’t eat, you know it will affect your sleep?

The answer is a protein shake. Usually, truly feeling hungry is a sign indicating a lot of muscle breakdown. When you have muscle breakdown you need protein, especially at night, which is when your muscles do most of their recovering. So if you are famished, a small protein shake with no added ingredients, like fruit or milk, will not only allow you to sleep but speed up your recovery process as well.
