I currently take my Whey prior to work out and after workout and a scoop with my oats in a morning, a mate at the gym suggested using a slow release protein with my oats and before bed and use the Whey pre/post workout. What are peoples general protein supp use on here?

Cheers

Whey and Maltodextrin for carbs are both fast releasing. This is what I have pre and post workout.

Oats and Casein are both slow releasing so this is what you should have otherwise.

Do you eat food? If so just eat instead of loading a diet up with sheks

protein is a macronutrient not a powder and alone it will serve minimal purpose in a diet. Pick some of the foods below, they are all slower digesting and punctuate your time with these:

beef
eggs
chicken
turkey
tuna
bacon back
low fat cottage cheese

etc etc

I have one whey shake after training, no pre this evening that...just crack on with eating using whey PWO and for moments you cant get food in

there are slow digesting powders to include:

Blends
casein
milk and egg

but at the end of the day food can do the same PLUS provide more satiety and more than likely, more micros to boot

Mate i eat tonnes of food, more recently i have really cleaned my diet up and altered my lifestyle, i guess discovering this forum has really changed the way i do certain things. Im sure that my current diet and training is better than it was so it is a step in the right direction.

if you want to slow the protien release down a little you can mix it with milk, Fish oil works well for slowing things down also. AM you want quick release, so mix with water and your oats! Before bed I would stick with real food much as you can as Lost Soul has said!

Slow release before bed, fast release Pre/Post workout and in the morning....

Lost Soul i agree food is key but not all of us have the oppertunity to eat solid food all the time...

agree, my point is simply that it is no different to food as many think powder is somehow special and will bring more results rather than just being a powdered version of food, hence my comment above
