Is it good to take Quest Protein powder shakes at night? I see it has whey protein isolate which has 60% and Micellar casein which has 40%. At this time i don't have just Casein protein. I'm just wondering if it's ok to take this before bed time.

    I use a protein powder to fill my protein shortfall just before bed.
    I sleep fine and am not hungry for an hour or two when I wake.

    Cheers, h.

    Casein will actually slow whey digestion. This is good, it will keep your muscles fed for a few hours.

    Cottage cheese and peanut butter. That's what I eat before bed.

    That is perfect to take before bed! There are more benefits to taking both kinds of proteins than individually anyway

    If you haven't hit your protein goal for the day then go for it.
