Most definitely!

What are the reasons for having some slow release foods for over night?
|
There are two big reasons.
1) It is believed that both protein and calorie intake may be responsible for raising IGF-1 levels. Since IGF-1 can regulate muscle growth, and since the highest levels of IGF-1 occurr overnight, a high protein intake may assist in muscular development.
2) From " The Protein Bible" by John Berardi: Immediately before bed. Before you lie down and enter dreamland, you should consider taking in a final meal in anticipation of the 6-8 hour fast ahead. You want to prevent the body from using all of its stored energy during the night. This would be a great time for a slow protein since the slow proteins release their nutrients over several hours. In fact, the studies we discussed above showed that even after 7 hours, the subjects were still in a positive protein balance and still had a slow delivery of nutrients [Boirie et al. 1997, Dangin et al. 2001]. So, before bed a milk protein, isolate/concentrate blend with whey and casein naturally in it, would be good.

If so, is normal cheese ok? Or something fatty like salami?

I think both would be covered by #2 above. Don't like cottage cheese ?
