Who uses casein?

[jagbender]

excuse my ignorance but protein fluff?

Take casein protein and LF milk. Mix together to make a thick shake then whip it with a mixer.

i do
plus it's an easy way geting the calcium i need

i use milk protein(80% casein,20%whey)cos plain casein has terible taste
i use it in prebed meal and in my 10 a.m. shake

i ve heard that casein is more anabolic than whey,cos the amino acids staying in the bloodstream nore time
you believe that too?

Def Casein shake before bed.

In fact lately Ive been consuming the following as a 7th meal before bed.

10oz Whole Milk
1/2 cup LF Strawberry Kefir
1/2 Scoop Casein
1/2 Scoop Egg
1/2 Scoop Whey
1/2 Scoop Beef

65 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, only 7 sugars

Tastes better than an ice cream milkshake and gives plenty of fat and protein to repair for my 9hr coma. Also the kefir really helps on minimizing stomach and digestion issues since its loaded with probiotics.

IMO casein powders are extremely overrated. I usually just eat a trimmed steak before bed. The little bit of fat slows down absorption and I never get gas from eating steak. Plus casein doesn't taste too great.

If you think casein does not taste good then you are drinking the wrong casein. I cant say enough how incredible the Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Supreme tastes. Seriously, there are not even chocolate shakes that taste as good as this stuff. I have talked quite a few of my friends into this casein and they cant believe how incredible it tastes. If you like chocolate, I promise you will love this stuff. I have mine with a glass of milk. Never tried it with water.

I have been doing the 50/50 blend whey / casein for a while now

I also like the straight casein use a little milk and make a pudding like dessert for a change of pace.

this is not good , it "gels" and slows BOTH down. do pick one or the other and go with it. you are NOt getting the "fast" from the whey when you blend them. take at differing times.
there have been tests, but dont feel like hunting.

I've been on a steady whey diet for a while now and get plenty of protein while I'm awake, but lately I've been mulling over the idea of taking casein before bed to prevent any muscle loss or hindered muscle gain.

My question is...who uses or has used casein before bed and did it make a whole lot of difference? And how is the taste difference? I mix my whey with milk and love the taste.

I have used it in many ways (evne mixing logn ago) amino acid spikes in blood are better for growth then a slow even release.
if you are going to be out of food and fasting ( a hike for eg.) or for pre-bed, then sure.

but I rec sticking to whey mostly.
