24 Hour Muscle

Everyone wanting to put on muscle knows you have to eat more protein to make sure you keep supplying your body with the amino acids it needs. So many of us will get up and start our day with protein, then 3 hours later, more protein and so on. The reason many people find they stop building could be at night. At night when we sleep our body will go into a catabolic state and can start to break down your muscle for an energy source. Many bodybuilders will wake in the night purposely to have a shake but for the people who want a good 8 hours sleep then I suggest you get a source of casein protein to fuel you. Casein is a slow release protein and will release its protein to your muscles gradually throughout the night to stop catabolism and keep your muscles in an anabolic state. The best natural sources of casein are cottage cheese and milk or you can buy a casein powder instead. So make sure you still have you glass of milk before you go to bed. Just make sure you leave the cookies in the cupboard.
