Yep. Again it's 2:20am....and I'm up getting ready to go hit the gym.
But in order of fast to slow absorbing proteins...you have:
Hydrolyzed Whey
Whey Isolate
Whey Concentrate
Miscellar Casein
Casein
So in theory, you want the fastest acting protein right after your workouts, then I like a blend of whey isolate and casein as it covers all the bases for a fast, intermediate, and slow absorbing protein source. Good for meal replacement if you can't eat.
Then typically straight casein right before bed as it will negate going long periods of eating. Kind of like a IV drip that everytime it pulses, you stimulate muscle synthesis and Nitrogen retention within the muscle.
