6 Best Protein-Rich Meals to Eat Before Going to Sleep

5. Low-Fat Cheese With Raw Veggies

Eating too many fat-rich products before bed can result in poor sleep, so it’s better to choose low-fat cheese before bed. It’ll provide enough protein in order to grow muscle mass, while raw veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, or any other veggie you like, will increase your vitamin, mineral, and fiber intake.

A meal consisting of 150 grams of cheese and 200 grams of veggies will provide 270 calories, 36 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat and seven grams of carbs.

6. Casein and Flax

Casein protein is a favorite product among bodybuilders when you need to get more slow-digested protein and stop muscle breakdown while sleeping. To make casein even more beneficial, mix it with flaxseed oil in your shake as it helps avoid cholesterol problems, reduces the risk of liver disease and decreases the blood pressure.

By eating 28 grams of casein protein powder and one tablespoon of flaxseed oil, you’ll absorb 221 calories, 20 grams of protein, two grams of fat and three grams of carbs.
