You should always have some cottage cheese in hand for the sake of satisfying late-night munchies.

This delicious product packs an excellent blend of much needed proteins. To further slow down their digestion, you can combine cottage cheese with natural peanut butter or even better – nuts. Almonds have proven to be superior to other nuts when it comes to bringing cost-effective healthy fats to your dinner table. Besides preventing your body from starving, this tasty
snack will give it a slow and steady release of nutrients to occupy its attention and focus it on muscle building during sleep.

By the way, 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1 ounce of almonds will provide you with a total of 327 calories, including 11 grams of carbs, 34 grams of protein and 16 grams of fat.

3. Casein and Flax
Casein protein, an absolute favorite among bodybuilders and powerlifters, is a particularly good source of slow-digested protein that will boost your metabolism during sleep and prevent muscle breakdown.

A recent study has shown that consuming 40 grams of casein within 30 minutes of going to bed leads to greater muscle protein synthesis. Mix some flaxseed oil in your shake to further slow the protein digestion. Flax is especially rich in plant omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber and consuming flasxeed oil can improve feelings of satiety, help lower the blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of liver disease and even relieve symptoms of depression. In addition, 28 grams of casein proten powder and one tablespoon of flaxseed oil together contain 221 calories, including 20 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fat.
