I've been advised on a couple occasions that I should be taking in a slower digesting protein during the day, primarily during my morning and afternoon snacks. So obviously I want to take in casein rather than whey.

I was going to change those to Driver but 2 scoops of Driver a day and a 2lb tub will only last me 18 days. I can't dish out $30 every 18 days.

So now I'm looking at either a cup of fat free cottage cheese, but am very curious on if I could take in a cup of fat free milk + whey. Would that be similar to taking in a casein/whey protein blend?

I would much rather drink a whey mixed with milk rather than eat more cottage cheese.

Optimum Nutrition makes a casein protein powder.

Thanks, but as I mentioned, I can't afford $30 every 18 days or so...otherwise I would take Driver or Ultra Peptide.

I'm just trying to figure out if there's enough casein in a cup of fat free milk so I can mix that with a scoop of whey and call it good. If not I'll have to take in more fat free cottage cheese during the day, which I'd rather not, but I'll do what I have to do.

Why not add some Natty PB or Som Flax or Fishoil to your shake to slow down digestion?

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Would taking 2 fish oil caps along with the shakes be sufficient enough in slowing it down though? I'm assuming I absorb these scoops of whey very rapidly..it's ON 100% Whey

LAM

2 grams wouldn't be enough. If you are on a budget I would just use whole milk

What you talking about Willis ?

Yes, I am on a budget.

So 1 cup whole milk + scoop of whey would have similar effects of taking in a casein/whey blend?

Since you said whole milk I'm assuming whole milk as a higher casein content than fat free milk?

Cottage cheese 2% organicthey sell at my local health food store tastes 1000% better than anything from a super market i've had. It's so damn expensive though. Like 4 bucks for 2 1/2 cups.

Total ownage.
