Firstly - appologies for me referring to Whey as just Whey.
I use a blend of WPI and Casein so I get the 'timed' protein release you were on about.
I think you are right in what you are saying about too much rapidly absorbed Whey not being as beneficial.
I eat alot of food too - but for example if I eat 750g of lean mince, I only get 150g of protein for my troubles. Dont get me wrong, I love mince, but it does get quite difficult.
I'm currently at 250lbs and eating about 400-500g of protein per day which is working for me. Gone from 16st 5lbs to 18st and dropped BF% by 3% since I joined the board. But I dare say that not everyone would have the same results.
I have a breakfast shake, a midday shake and an evening shake normally.
Just sat trying to get some cold chicken and some cheese down my neck now
Good post though dude - very detailed. I might have to goto the dark side and try eating fish
