yeah, i'll be buying casein next time i buy. does it taste the same?
Usually when i eat healthy, i lose 10 pounds FAST and a lot of strength with it (i have been eating a steady mixed stream of fast food and big steak/spaghetti feasts at home)
this time, i'm eating steak/spaghetti/etc 3 times a day, along with FOUR meals of shakes (2 scoops whey).
Casein, IMO, does not taste the same as whey. I think it tastes better (usually you have to buy some sort of casein/whey blend anyway). It has a milkier flavor, for obvious reasons, and thickens much more than whey. For that reason its much closer to a milkshake.
I don't get the "if i eat clean i get weak" argument. Experiment with eating more at all 7 of your meals.
What i mean is, instead of 4 shakes and 3 huge fatty meals, try, for example, one shake and 6 meals with a moderate balance of veggies, complex carbs, lean-ish protein (flank steak, not porterhouse), etc.
