What protein at what time?
« on: August 21, 2006, 06:20:24 AM »
Different protein digests at a different rate and you can digest only so much of a certain kind? does this mean that it's much better to have some whey with some egg or casein or something to absorb more at a time? Any suggestions about wha kinda protein to have at what times during the day. The only protein i've taken that i noticed a great difference with was Methoxy Pro way back when it came out. Right now I'm just going cheap with the 100% optimum whey gold. Funny thing is that when i took methoxy pro again later it didn't seem to help me much but the first time i took it i gained about 10 pounds that month.

i use a protien blend most of the time.  im using syntha-6 right now by bsn and so far it is the best tasting ive ever had.  it is a blend of 6 proteins, some fast absorbing, some more slowly.  muscle milk is also a good blend.  i used to buy a small tub of optimum whey and a small tub of micell edge (micellular/cassien) and mix them together, and that worked pretty well.  the general rule i use is whey first thing in the morning and after a workout because of the quick absorbtion, a blend the rest of the day and good old cottage cheese at night since a cup of it takes between 6-8 hours to digest and releases aminos the entire time.

I make my own.  It's most economical and gives you the ability to make the % whatever you want.  Go to Trader Joe's and buy basic Milk/Egg protein and mix with your whey.

WOOO
