What protein you guys using?

Try Casein for meals and only use Whey after workouts. I use GNC PM, or Optimum Casein. Any casein one is good for use with meals. FYI casein comes from milk just like whey but is is a slower digesting protein. It stays with you a while just like as if you ate cottage cheese or meat or fish chicken etc.

I'm not a big breakfast eater, never have been. Just a cereal guy. I am alergic to eggs, it sucks. I can eat things with egg in it, but not scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, etc... So I'm looking at adding a protein shake in the morning since I'm now working out before work. What are you guys using? I was about to buy Whey Protein Isolate from allthewhey.com. $29.99 for 5 lbs.

What do you guys think?

I think that's a good price. I'm going to give them a try. If I'm out and can't wait for an order to come in, I usually run down and buy some Vitamin Shoppe brand protein. They sweetner they use is yummy

I reallylike vanilla Optimum Nutrition....I get the 10 lb.bag for abt 55bucks,and its "instantized" meaning it will stir in with a spoon. Unfortunately, I may have to try soy whey in the near future.

I dont agree with Casein in the morning for the following reason.

1.) your glycogen stores are gone, and since you've been sleeping all night your protein stores are depleted, and Casein is the slowest absorbing protein, not what you need first thing in the am.

2.) Casein is overpriced! Whey/cottage cheese mix has the same benefits, for a quarter the price.

3.) If your going to be working out shortly after your first meal, (as I do) You definatly want a WHEY source of protein (which is absorbed the fastest) first thing in the morning!

i think casein is a great before bed protein, or a middle of the day type of deal, (im currently bulking and having a casein shake in the middle of the

night)

And im Using ON Whey in the morning and after a workout,

and muscle milk before bed, or in the middle of the night!

Good Luck

i us eway the same way,Right when i get up and after my work outs.

LOL, this bring back memories when I was a kid, I could not eat eggs(I would puke) until my brother told me to put ketchup on them with cheese and wahlah I can eat them with no problem. The same thing with boiled eggs as a kid could not eat them and it would make me made because after easter everyone would love them and I would give them away. Instead of eating them like everyone else with nothing on them, they said add sald and wahlah can eat them with no problem.

I agree.whey in morning,a little before workout(late afternoon),immediately post workout with simple carbs.Casien with meals and before bed.

Raw eggs are cheap! 🙂

if u go to bed with glycogen stores full, they wont be gone when u wake up... fat is the main source of fuel during sleep and glycogen stores are left relatively untouched... only circulating blood glucose levels will be lower in the morning

im also wondering what u mean by protein stores being depleted... protein is not stored in the body... its either synthesized into muscle or stored as fat, with the nitrogen portion always being excreted, so u cant have low protein stores

otherwise i agree that casein prolly isnt the best choice in the morning... id recommend a protein blend, but those are always overpriced, otherwise isolate is fine and concentrate will do too if ur on a tight budget like me! 🙂

Excellent Post! A much more techinal explanation of what I was getting at! I was under the impression the body was anabolic at night, and used the protein to rebuild muscle tissue at night (growing), and assuming you didnt have a serving of casein before bed or in the middle of night would they not be used up? or already "synthesized?"

Anyhow, good info !

I always like being corrected by someone who know's they're shit!

I go with the cytosport whey protein.....it is about $25 on supplementdirect.com for 5 pounds and it dissolves really well in either water or fat free milk...no clumps at all. Tastes pretty good too....i ususlaly just get the vanilla but i am going to try the cookies and cream as soon as my latest order gets here....

I use the Maxs range of powders, the majority are all WPI. Its only thier nitetime formula thats a combo of Wpi, wpc and micellar casine.

They work for me!
