Eat Cottage Cheese Before You Go To Sleep
Filed under: Diet and Nutrition, Supplements
One of the most under-utilized “supplements” (I put supplement in quotes because it’s not really a supplement) in bodybuilding today is by far cottage cheese.
Now you might be wondering what benefits cottage cheese might be able to pass on to a person looking to build muscle and here it is:
Cottage cheese is mostly comprised of casein protein which is ideal to consume right before you go to bed because it is a “slow-digesting” protein which will continue to feed your muscles through the night!
Whey protein may be a better quality protein then casein but it is absorbed into your blood stream within an hour and then your muscles go starving!
Cottage cheese also contains about 6 grams of glutamine per 8 oz serving which may help increase your growth hormone levels.
