Immediately after training you need to get out of a catabolic state from the training, as quickly as possible, especially so if it is late. You do not want to be catabolic for the entire night. Have a whey/simple carb shake after your training, then about 1/2 hr. later if this is your last meal, have the mackerel. (this is in fact a good pre bed meal, good protein and healthy fats). -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
