Supplementing with Whey protein powder is very poprular and I do it myself. I read an article that casein protein powder is also a good idea when doing long hard cardio and/or weight training...they say take it before going to bed because it is a slow acting protein that will feed the body slowly whereas whey is quick acting and is absorbed within an hour. so whey is good before and after a workout....anyone using casein?.

    I found the best and cheapest source of casein is cottage cheese right after my workout i have a protein shake then some fruit or peanut butter with cottage cheese.
