Do any of you totally pig out after your workouts? I've heard if you want to gain muscle its best to eat something both high in protein and high in carbohydrates. So your body can quickly recover from your workout. But I don't know if I could work out and then go eat pizza or something. My coworker used to do this, but he'd go a few months of focusing on getting bigger (and fatter), then spend another month or so cutting down. He'd do phases instead of both at the same time.
Supposedly its a good idea to eat some cottage cheese right before bed, too. It has a protein called Casein which is one of the slowest acting proteins. This helps your body build muscle overnight. It seems silly to me that eating a certain food can help you get more muscle but a guy I used to work with was one of those natural bodybuilders and he swore by it.
