    Optimum Nutrition makes a product, Casein Protein, just for this purpose.
    Casein turns to jelly in the stomach and therefor takes longer to digest, giving you a steady stream of aminos while you sleep.
    Do not use Whey as it digest and gets used to quickly, get something with casein.

    also found in cottage cheese and neither turns into jelly

    I recommend against it. Ever seen "Gremlins"?

    What I want to know is when is it "before midnight"??? Isn't it always after midnight?

    No dear, it's always before midnight. You were close.

    Then the gremlins wouldn't turn into gremlins when you feed them!

    It will turn into fat only if it, combined with everything else you ate for the day, is greater than the energy you expended. Timing doesn't matter.

    I was mostly joking about the turning into fat thing...:grumble: So, all joking aside, there is nothing wrong with this???

    Nothing wrong with it, it actually makes me sleep really well....If I have one before bed, I don't wake up hungry AND if I choose to exercise early, I kick butt without having to have a snack beforehand....

    Finally, a REAL answer!:ohwell: thanks!:flowerforyou:

    The first, second, third and fourth responses to this thread were all REAL answers.

    Yeah, but they were sarcastic real answers...:grumble: :huh:

    Actually no they were not. The first four answers to your post were both serious (not sarcastic) and also correct.

    Read them - they were to the point factual and polite. These people took the time to help you and you dismiss their comments - now that is downright rude.

    First response:
    It will turn into fat only if it, combined with everything else you ate for the day, is greater than the energy you expended. Timing doesn't matter.

    Second response:
    Simply drinking a protein shake will not turn into fat or muscle

    Third response:
    I think its very unlikely the protein shake will be turned into fat

    Fourth response:
    In addition to the above replies, yes it's fine to drink your whey protein at night. If you need additional protein in your diet, then go for it and enjoy.

    Please explain how on earth any of the above can be taken as sarcastic because your logic and interpretation fail me.
