For body building when you are on a strict protien regiment before bed is very important. The object of taking protien is making sure your body has the protien to rebuild and fuel muscle growth. The most important times is right after a workout and before bed (when your muscles go into full repair mode).

Most protien suppliments have a release schedule with some fast acting quick absobing protien then others that are slowly released to insure there is a supply of protien for and extended period of time.

Read the link in the sources section. You can explore further on the site to find more indepth info on why, how, and when you should take your protien supplements. The shop section will also help you pick out the protien thats right for you.

My guess would be no. Most Protein shakes are loaded with sugar that will turn into fat while you sleep. This could add to weight gain. Weight Watchers recommends no calories after 8:00
