I've known blokes who compete (BB) who would wake up in the night to down a protein shake.
I am trying to get bigger right now, and the only time I go without eating more than 2 hours is while I'm asleep.
At night before I go to sleep I drink a casein protein shake. Casein protein is kind of like a slow release protein powder. I want to say it takes about 6 hours to absorb into the body?
I was told that it helps feed muscle recovery while you sleep, and there have been a few positive studies done on it.

The downside to casein for me is that I have only found one flavor that I like, and that is the isopure cinnamon bun.
I eat when I’m hungry.
Which is at least ever three hours.
Most nights I have a snack when I get up to piss.
I try not to over eat in one setting. That typically means no second helpings.

You could try Greek yogurt, easy to flavor and it’s all casein protein. Load it up with fruit and nut butters or ground flax for extra calories

I do the greek yogurt too, but I had no idea it was casein protein. Thanks for the tip!
yeah I’m not doing it anymore but my go to pre bed meal used to be plain 0% fat Greek yogurt, frozen raspberries, ground flax, raw quick oats, some sugar free jello pudding powder (usually cheesecake flavor), and then some almond milk to thin it out as it comes out super thick and then let it sit in the fridge for a little bit.
