Casein?

ad

Who is using casein before bed time?
Do you prefer mixing it with some whey as well?
Or do most of y'all have a solid bedtime meal for recovery?
I use to use casein and whey 50-50 ratio in a shake right before bed. I'm considering getting more I just wanna see who actually uses it and what brand you prefer.
I was thinking MP 100% casein

Hey man, I'm a big fan of casein! If I would only spend cash on one protein powder I would go with casein only or a 50-50 ratio like you said. However, a really good source of tasty casein is COTTAGE CHEESE. Low fat cottage cheese, great stuff, watch the sodium though.

Good luck

Personally, I just eat two cups of plain Greek yogurt before bed. I don't spend my money on bagged casein.

I keep my fats low throughout the day. Before bed, I prefer to have a bit of red meat 4-6oz and some greek yogurt. Without a bit of fat I wake up in the morning feeling like my stomach has a hole in it.

Scoop of casein with a cup of natural greek yogurt is the way to go.

Skip the whey. Just stick with the slower digesting protein like casein. If you don't like drinking a shake and want some real food pound down some cottage cheese.

I don't think one is necessarily better it is more what you are in the mood for. Sometimes my stomach is craving solid food and other times a quick shake fits the bill.
