Protein powder for slow digestion/night?

[InHuman83]

I have using ON's 100% Casin for it's slow digesting at night.

But I was wondering if using ON's 100% Egg would be better since it has all the amino acids and everything, with no fat of any kind?

Would it still digest slow? Cause I don't really need the milk stuff, since I mix all my protien powders with milk.

Thanks

casein has all the amino acids as well.

There are tons of options/possibilities. Powdered whey is fine anytime. Keep in mind that the rate of digestion of ANY protein product can be modified by manipulating the companion ingredients that you eat with the protein. Consider adding a little quality fat to the whey to slow it's rate of digestion.

Very interesting.

Quality fat? I'm guessing it would be easier to buy some little bottle of good fats and just mix with the shake.

Also, is there any real benefit to using ON's 100% casin or 100% egg? If not anything but slower digestion, then I can save myself some money.

Not necessarily. I add flax seed meal. It is quality fat AND fiber. You can always use PB.

Two tablespoons of flax seed meal offers 03p 04c 05f (zero saturated). Note that all of the carbohydrate value comes in the form of fiber (1/3 soluble, 2/3 insoluble). It's killer stuff ... use it. It's a great source of EFAs. Note that the flax seed meal adds a nutty quality (flavor) to the shake.

We also add flax seed meal to our oatmeal.

I agree with the couple on this one. Flax seeds add a lot to the flavor, like cursor said they make it taste very nutty.
