Depending on the flavour of your whey and casein you can mix them together for a 50/50 whey-casein shake to use before bedtime <img src="http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/upfiles/smiley/s1.gif" alt="" /> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694956Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:04:17 GMT Thanks for the feedback all. <br> I might just stick to my normal protein shake before bedtime, mixed with milk. <br> Ta! <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694876Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:50:36 GMT <blockquote class="quote"><i>PredatorNutrition</i><br> <br> <br> Why not just mix a nice tasting blend with milk?

Still dig into a tub of CC with pineapple every now and again. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694042Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:42:19 GMT Why not just mix a nice tasting blend with milk?

After some workouts, it'd be good if the muscles were fueled through the night. <br> <br> I've never tried casein before - so it'd be good if it actually helps me in the long run. <br> <br> Thanks. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3693108Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:59:50 GMT Casein would be a good option made. &nbsp;Cottage cheese is another decent prebed meal. &nbsp;I just can´t stomach it. http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3693081Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:39:00 GMT Hi All, <br> <br> I need to stock up on Protein soon, and was wondering is it worth giving Casein a try, for bedtime use? <br> I had 3/4 teaspoons of Peanut Butter before bed last night and wondered if this is just as effective?? <br> <br> Diet is fine: <br> fruit, veg, cottage cheese, good carbs, protein, clean meats i.e chicken, water everyday, no fizzy drinks, glass of red ocassionally, <br> Training at least 3 times a week, an hour+ each session, training all body parts etc. <br> <br> Thanks, <br> <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3693067Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:23:27 GMT
