Midnight Snack

choice for mid night snack
So after hard days work at the gym you go to sleep but you wake from the growling of your tummy. You scour the kitchen for food , after the long journey you find

A. Ready-to-drink(RTD) protein shake

B. Doughnut

C. Low-fat chocolate milk

Which one do you choose?

You thought the RTD shake was the obvious answer , right?

Think again, the better choice is C. Low-fat Chocolate Milk.

The RTD has seriously high fat content. It’s a great post-workout drink but a nightmare for your midnight snack. Needless to say , the doughnut is also way too fatty.

Given the situation the low-fat chocolate milk wins because it contains fast digesting protein (whey) and also slow digesting protein (casein) which will keep feeding your muscles through out the night without the high fat content of the RTD.
