is this a good meal for before bed?

i think an icecream sundae would be better, or a rootbeer float

  At your age I'm sure you can walk it off in the morning. I'd have to do an extra week of cardio. I usually do a protein shake before bedtime. I'm not much on ice cream. The wife and kids like it, so I have 4 or 5 flavors in the freezer at all times. Do you put the PB on the ice cream? I can see the banana in it, never did PB though.

ice cream? obviously not the best option, are u an ecto?

not an ecto more a meso weight goes down when ever i want it too. yeah i put the peanut butter right on it. lol

I'd stick with cottage cheese and pb :D

Before bed I usually either have some milk, a protein shake or my favourite: fat free yoghurt.

I would stick to something better. Im no nutrition professional but the only thing thats advisable before bed should be the PB and thats if its natural and not the hydrogenated oil crap.

the banana is better spent after your workout or somewhere earlier on in the day.

If you like ice cream, i know muscle milk makes a pretty good rocky road and cookies and creme flavored shakes.

Overall it just doesnt sound very good for you, but i guess if you can make it work go for it...

thanks for the inpt guys

on a side note i understand taking casein protein before bed/ milk/ cottage cheese.  I do wonder what the benefit of taking PB is before bed.  it seems a lot of people suggest this.  why is that?

Because natural PB has protein, little carbs, and lots of good fats.

i understand natural, thats what i mean to say.  what is the benefit of having something that contains good fats before bed or even fat in general?  i understand whats in PB(marconutrients) im just curious about the fat part.

Im a endo and i used to do that every night... tasted sooooo damn good and i didn't get fat... then again i didn't get a huge amount more muscley.. there was however some improvement.

Im sure someone else can give a more detailed explanation, however, it is my understanding that the good fats which have many uses in the body which include regulating hormone levels (testosterone), and they are highest at night. as well as curving your hunger so you wont be as hungry.
