Quark before going to sleep? This is how you season it!

Even if you don't do strength sports yourself, you have probably heard about the famous box of quark before going to sleep. And those who train fanatically will probably consume a good portion of quark every day. Yet not everyone is convinced about quark - especially the taste.

Muscle growth and muscle recovery
-
To explain the popularity of cottage cheese, let's first look at the precise mechanism behind muscle growth. In short, it comes down to this: when you exercise, it causes minor damage to your muscles. When the muscle tears are repaired, your muscles will grow back bigger than they were before the workout. Muscle growth is therefore muscle recovery.

In order for that recovery to run smoothly, you need the building materials that make up your body: amino acids, which you get from proteins. So if you want to get stronger, you have to eat enough protein. And curd cheese is just one of the products that is particularly rich in it!

Why eat cottage cheese before going to sleep?
-
But why do people choose cottage cheese for sleeping, instead of a chicken fillet or an omelet? The reason for that is the kind of proteins you find in cottage cheese. This is because it concerns casein protein, which is absorbed by your body more slowly than whey protein.

-
This in turn means that your recovering muscles are supplied with enough protein throughout the night. Because you can't eat anything else during that time, quark before going to sleep is a regular routine for many strength athletes. Other cheese-like products also contain this protein, but they are often richer in fats. If you want to limit your calorie intake, you often opt for low-fat quark.

And eat that after 8 o'clock, then?
-
Now people might be a little surprised at the idea of eating late at night. Wasn't it true that all calories are no longer burned after 8 hours, and that you gain weight immediately? Long story short: no, that's a myth. First of all, it is not the case that your body only burns energy when you move.
-
Your continuous bodily processes also cost a lot of calories - even at night. In addition, calories are not consumed or stored immediately after eating. That use is a process that takes longer than overnight. Even if you eat after 8 am, you can use that energy again the next morning. You can read more about this fable in this article.

Even if you don't exercise!
-
Another misunderstanding we sometimes hear is that quark before going to sleep is only for strength athletes. Again, that is not the case. Even if you don't train vigorously, your body is busy at night recovering from the damage during the day. And those amino acids from proteins are not only used for your muscles.

Organs, enzymes and hormones are also built from it. In short: everyone can use enough protein! For non-athletes, the need for a large bowl of quark is of course slightly less. However, if you often feel like eating late at night, this is a better and, above all, leaner option than many other products.

Make cottage cheese tasty
-
Well, every reason to eat cottage cheese regularly. The problem is, many people are not particularly fond of the taste of low-fat cottage cheese. Some therefore do not eat it at all. Others, for example, go for fruit curds from the supermarket - but that is less rich in protein, and a lot richer in sugars! Hopefully the following addition tips will help you a little!
Cottage cheese recipes for sleeping
-
To make your quark better before going to sleep, you can add all kinds of seasonings. We list five of them below. Of course you can also make a protein shake yourself.

Banana is a fruit that is recommended before going to sleep. It contains tryptophan, a substance that stimulates the production of sleep hormones. In addition, banana is of course just nice and creamy, so that the lean structure of the quark is less noticeable. Also great for freezing banana (without peel) and making banana protein ice cream together with curd cheese!
-
In addition to bananas, you can also choose other types of fresh fruit - apple, pear and forest fruits, for example, are all popular choices. Thanks to the many fibers you do not have to worry that you will bounce in your bed after your bowl of cottage cheese. In addition, you will receive some vitamins. You can also throw your quark - with some linseed - into a blender with the fruit; a smoothie drinks away more easily.
-
Nuts, kernels and seeds are also a great option. They contain a little more protein and also provide healthy fats. The only downside is that they are also relatively high in calories. So don't add more than a hand, and check if it fits further into your eating schedule.
-
Coconut is also a nice low-carbohydrate seasoning to make your quark better before going to sleep. Especially with tropical fruit, for example, it goes very well. Again, however, the amount of fats is something to be reckoned with.
-
Finally, cinnamon is a good way to take that edge off the flavor of curd cheese. It doesn't make a big difference, so you can also combine it with apple, for example. However, if you're just looking for something different than usual, just a pinch of cinnamon is fine too.
