Do any other women out there take caseine protein ? My trainer said it migth not be a good idea for women because our body doesnt process it as well as men and it ends up storing it as fat? Any thoughts?

    I was told by my trainer to eat cottage cheese at night since it has casien protein in it. I have not heard about it being bad.

    As long as you take it at night before sleep or with breakfast you will be fine. Casein is just a slower absorbing protein which is also good as a preworkout meal as well if you workout in the morning. Casein is in milk an cottage cheese as well. :) hope i helped.

    My wife uses caseine. I bet she could kick your trainers *kitten* in a fist fight.

    what is your trainers back ground? it is absolutely not bad for you actuall the opposite, very good for you becuase the body uses it over a long period of time.

    interesting, I would like to understand why he/ she is saying that.

    Ask your trainer to articulate WHY women don't process it as well. Ask him/her to articulate the difference between a male and female stomach. My guess is you'll get a deer in the headlights stare. I use it every day. It is a slower digesting protein than whey, good for before bedtime.

    Just because someone is fit doesn't mean they know their *kitten* from a hole in the ground when it comes to nutrition it could just be good genetics...

    I don't have a problem with it. I use whey protein after my morning workout because its used quickly and caseine protein in the late afternoon to carry me through my afternoon/evening meetings, workout and get to to dinner (which can be as late at 7:30 or 8pm on the crazy days).. Caseine protein is processed slower so it "lasts" longer. I don't use it all the time. But I was using it for a while before bedtime when I was waking up starving. I found that having it an hour before bed made for better nights sleep and no waking up starving.

    I have been using it for a year and managed to lose 40lbs. I think your trainer is silly.
