Best type of milk before bed?

I was wondering, what is the best type of milk to have before bed? 2% milk fat milk or soy milk? Or some other type of milk?

I ask this because i cant be bothered to pay the extra money for casein shakes anymore >_<

Also, is milk powder just as good as fresh milk? Or should i stick with the freeeeeesh stuff?

Thank you.
 
Oh yeh, seeing as though milk has alot of sugar and carbs in it would it be wise to have it before bed on a cutting cycle?

If not what is the other alternative to having milk before bed and not losing any muscle?

Thankyou again :D
 
some use cottage cheese or yogurt in their pre-bed meals. dont be too concerned about milk at this time. one cup is roughly 12 grams of carbohydrates and will not deter cutting efforts.

i think he said he cant be assed with casein shakes mate

as for the milk issue, i down a pint of skimmed half an hour before bed its worked well for me
 
:D Yep, im not buying anymore casein shakes sorry.

Well ill see how i go. Ill test out light, skim and cottage cheese. But i dont know if its making me put on weight or if its coz im lactose intolerent but i just feel fat in the morning...
 
I use skimmed milk if I have a shake before bed. I tried to get on the cottage cheese bandwagon but, it turned out to be really, really disgusting!!

its all in the head mate,
 
just so you know, drinking milk before bed is high not recommended from my point of view. Milk for some can turn toxic in your mouth and rot your teeth during the night. leaving milk on your teeth, not to mention the bad breath the next morning. Anythign starchy is bad for your teeth. My sister used to drink LOTs of milk and she ended up geting some teeth removed and some repaired cause teh milk turned acidic in her mouth at night.
If you going to drink one glass of milk, drink 2x to 3x water before going to bed and brush your teeth. That if you want your original teeth when ya grow up. ;)
Cheers
 
sorry, i've never heard of this before and would like to see some validation before believing that this a cause of concern. drinking milk plus all that water would have one up all night in the restroom
