Help on carbs and carbogen and what night shake does

ok i just got me a polar heart monitor. And i was tracking my calories burned while sleeping and i cant seem to notice a difference on if i take a shake before bed or dont. I thought night shake all slow proteins was to help keep your body from crashing in the middle of the night and helping your metabolism stay elevated?

Also i always get Peak ATP, AMinogen and carbogen in my shakes. Does carbogen only help if you have a carb in the shake or does it help if you eat carbs as well? it seems to me from the website it helps digest carbs better for you. Sometimes i take a shake after i eat a high carb meal because i want the carbogen to help digest the carbs.

I may have this all wrong but thats why im hear asking.

Nothing short of an upper / drug will elevate your metabolism during your night rest periods. Protein taken at night will prevent your blood amino acid levels from dropping ... this is NOT the same thing as elevating ones metabolism.

Carbogen should assist in outside carb digestion i.e when you drink a shake along with a high carb meal.

What does keeping your amino levels from dropping do?So other then drugs which I wouldn't want to do you can't keep your metabolism elevated all the time?

Amino's in the bloodstream help to prevent muscle breakdown aka catabolism. As for maintaining a 24/7 high metabolism, I know of no way. Wish I did cuz I would use it myself!
