Casein protein

Does anyone else use this and what are their experiences ?

The reason I ask is I started taking this last week before I go to bed and the outcome is that I sleep really well, I wake up in the morning really easily and wide awake. Before I started taking it I was groggy and yawning a lot in the mornings, I can't believe how well this stuff works.

Well it shouldn't really do anything like that. I use it every night and can't say it makes a difference to my sleep

Are you sure it doesn't have any other ingredients in like some sort of ZMA formula?

It's the Myprotein Bedtime Extreme, ingredients are:

Tapered Night Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate*, Whey Protein Concentrate*, Whey Protein Isolate*, Egg White Powder), Glutamine, Cocoa Powder (chocolate flavours only), HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid), Flavouring (flavoured options only), Sweetener (Sucralose® [flavoured options only]), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Colouring (Quinoline [banana flavour only], Sunset Yellow [banana flavour only]

There you go then, a lot of people claim deeper sleep with HMB. So that would be why

Call me old fashioned but 100-300g of cottage cheese and a glass of milk does the job for me. You can always add some chunks of fruit to make the cottage cheese taste less revolting!

They sell cottage cheese in a variety of different guises now, including pineapple.

Cottage cheese with fruit seems such an insanely disgusting proposition to me. Eugh!!

Cottage cheese and some options hot chocolate powder, yum!

Zefan · 5 Nov 2012 at 16:48

What on earth :|

tom_e · 5 Nov 2012 at 16:50

It's chocolatey goodness!

Cottage Cheese in general seems an insanely disgusting proposition to me.

King Damager · 5 Nov 2012 at 17:03

So basically, Chocolate powder to get rid of the Cottage Cheese taste, but Cottage Cheese for nutritional goodness...

I used to put a scoop of chocolate whey in 300g of cottage cheese. Was gorgeous, tasted just like chocolate cheesecake.

However, I noticed my gut would always seem bloated with it, so ditched it for casein

cottage cheese and pineapple is great!

I love cottage cheese but I prefer my banana casein shake, it's also more convenient.

Sainsbury's (cos it's the best by far) quark absolutely annihilates cottage cheese. I stick some Flavdrops in and it's like very thick, delicious yoghurt. I don't mind cottage cheese and can eat it but quark is just way, way nicer.

Who the hell actually eats cottage cheese because they like it anyway?

I assumed the only people who buy it are those trying to bulk up!
