Hey peops. just a bit of info for ya, being a "science" person, I'll tell ya now that first of all taking it with milk does nto slow the digestion process down, it'll digest just as fast with milk, juice water...and water is probabyl your best bet. In terms of the why at night, i just choose not to take it cause well yeh people think that it is needed for the repair process but at night when u're metabolism drops waaaaaaayyy down, what u're doing is converting that protein to fat storage as well since you're main energy supply has been depleted...the best time to take it is early in the morning. That way the % absorption and conversion to "rebuilding" protein is higher ad it's not "wasted".
 
I drink a 60g casein shake and eat 1 tbsp of almond butter before I go to bed.

I set my alarm for four hours latter and repeat this...
 
No but first thing in the morning I have a 100% whey chocolate mint shake made with whole milk.
 
I use protein factory's "night time" formula. Works great..consists of
25% Calcium Caseinate
25% Soy Isolate
25% CFM Whey Isolate
25% Milk Isolate

110 calories
27g protein
0 carbs
0.5g fat

I throw in some hemp and flax oil with it..
 
I just got done ordering a few items from PF as above.

I got 2 custom blends (5 lbs each) both the same, except one is strawberry and the other is chocolate.

Micellar Casein 50%
Egg White Protein 50%

This will be for when I go to bed, but I will also use some during the day.

I also got some Flax oil, and Hemp oil. I will also use half of each at one time. And also use it with all my whey powder.

it does.

the rate at which protein is digested is similar to the GI scale for carbs, which measures the effect on blood glucose and insulin levels. Potato chips, for example, have a lower GI than whole potatos mainly due to the fat acquired during the cooking process. It slows the rate of absorption into the bloodstream. The added fat and carbs in milk will have the same effect on whey. Not to mention the fact that milk has its own casein protein.

You're exactly right....of course milk is going to digest slower than slimine liquids.I'll eat 2 tables of peanut butter and 1 scoop ON protein powder in about 6 ounces of milk....10 grams from the PB and 23 grams from the ON whey.LOVE IT!
