Eat This Food Before Bed to Boost Health Without Gaining Weight, Scientists Say - Newsweek

Eating cottage cheese before bed could boost health without leading to weight gain, a small study suggested. Snacking on 30 grams of the high-protein food about 30 minutes before going to sleep was found to aid a person’s overall health, as well as metabolism and the quality of muscle tissue.

Researchers at Florida State University wanted to investigate the effects of eating what are known as whole food proteins, meaning products such as cottage cheese rather than protein shakes, on muscle recovery and metabolic rate.

To carry out their study, the researchers had 10 active women with an average age of 23 years old stay at the laboratory on four occasions. They were told to eat a 30 gram serving of cottage cheese between 30 minutes to an hour before bed, and two hours after their dinner. The cottage cheese contained 30g of protein, 10g of carbohydrate and 0g of fat.
