If youre like benoit up here with a crazy fast metabolism, adding fats to that meal (nut butters etc) slow digestion and add a little bit more for your body to process, making you "full" for longer. And even more so if you can shread through carbs and burn fat like him, ALWAYS include some sort of carb before bed too if looking to put on lbm.

Our body works very very hard at night and burns more calories than one might think. If youre one of those, like me, that cannot add anything except just protein because your metabolism is shit, prep a casein/whey mixed shake next to you for if you wake up in the middle of the night.

^^^What these guys said.

It really is goal dependent. I usually stick with Cottage Cheese and\or a Casein Shake.
