Why You SHOULD Eat Before Bed (Myth Busted)

Okay, before we dive into our last recipe, I want to bust a common myth and give you a powerful health tip all at once. If you’ve ever heard that you shouldn’t eat before bed, I’ve got news for you: You don’t have to go to bed hungry. In fact, choosing the right foods before bed can be highly beneficial for weight management, appetite control, losing unwanted fat, building calorie-burning muscle and improving metabolic health.

Considering that we’re talking all about protein today, it may not come as much of a surprise that it is a top choice for a nighttime snack.

Research shows that a small, protein-rich snack providing about 30 – 40 grams of protein is ideal to support metabolism and better body composition.

A low carb protein shake is just one of many delicious ways you can enjoy your BioTrust Low Carb protein powder. There’s an endless variety of high-protein smoothies you can create using BioTrust Low Carb protein powder as your foundation.
