In order to overcome this anti-catabolic fasting state, you need to give
serious thought to your bedtime shake. If you are not taking one right
now I hope you realize you are losing muscle instead of gaining it.

The ingredients in this bedtime shake are: glutamine, protein (casein),
colostrum, and flaxseed oil.

These powders are mixed into a shake with a low carbohydrate. I like
to mix them with milk and some strawberries or you could use an MRP.

Glutamine's role is to preserve your muscle and raise your growth
hormone while you sleep. It will work in conjunction with the protein to
spare your muscle and give it a constant supply of amino acids.

The type of protein I recommend here is very important. It is the
casein type in particular because it provides a steady slower paced
release of amino acids into the blood stream, much longer than whey.

Whey produces a sharp rise in amino acids because of its high bioavailability.

Because whey has a high absorption rate it would be better to use it
in your Big 3 hormonal cocktail. This will get the protein into your
muscle much faster then casein would especially at a time when you need it.  

The colostrum in this mix help keep IGF-1 levels raised. Here they will not
need to be raised as much as in the after workout shake so we don't include
as much. And finally the flaxseed oil provides essential fatty acids, which
have been proven by scientific studies to keep your testosterone levels
elevated.

The ingredients are mixed as follows according to lean body mass:

An example of a bedtime shake for a 220 lb. person at 10% body fat is:

16 oz. Of skim milk

1 cup of blueberries

10 grams of glutamine

20 grams of colostrum

40 grams of casein protein
