Default Whey AND Casein?

Would you guys recommend supplementing with Casein as well as Whey?

I've got ON 100% Gold Standard Natural Whey protein and it's great stuff. I was just wondering if Casein would be worth the extra bucks in addition with the whey?

just add fats to your shakes if your diet allows.

Cool so.....

If I understand correctly, Casein is slow digesting and whey is quickly digested. It seems logical to me that both are useful throughout the day. Such as drinking whey pre- and post- workout and casein at night or on off days.

My knowledge is limited and I know you guys are up on the latest scientific data, so would it be wise to invest in some casein in addition to the whey?

What's the consensus?

I was considering the same thing but I ended up just eating some cottage cheese before heading to bed. I also add cottage cheese to smoothies which has whey, milk (another casein source), blueberries and natural peanut butter......best of everything. I have this before going to bed on my workout days.

It's an option if your calorie intake allows.

well, concentrate is faster digesting than casein. But, if you add stuff to your shakes, it makes it slower digesting. Fat and/or fiber added to your shakes makes the shakes slower digesting, so you COULD just put some fiber or fats in your shake to make them slower.

IMO, it doesn't really matter. It's such a small detail, and your overall diet is much more important.

Milk's protein is 80% casein. If your not intolerant make your PWO shakes up with milk and your good.
