Question for those who workout late at night

[ENIGMA]

Ok, so lately ive been lifting later at night around 10 or 11 before i go to bed. For those of you who have a routine similar to this, do you consume a post workout meal after your shake or just make sure you eat a good meal an hour or so before the workout?? My post workout shake is typically 2 scoops protein and a banana. So should i eat a meal with that or just have the shake be my last meal of the night? I normally work out during the day but lately because of work and school schedules the only time i have left is typically late at night.

I workout in the evenings, but not as late as you, and still have time for a meal after my PWO shake.

If anything I would add some slow releasing protein before you hit the sack...

Yea... I workout about an hour and a half before I go to sleep. I eat about an hour prior to training.

IMMEDIATELY post workout, like the second I step in the door, I take BCAAs and WMS. About 20 minutes later i'll have a whey shake, usually 1 scoop, but i'll use low fat milk instead of water. I find the milk helps me stay asleep and not wake up so hungry.

I always have the post workout meal 45 mins or so after my shake.
