Whey versus Milk Protein Powder

[jay_the_man]

This may be an old debate and if the search engine worked I would have used it.

My question is based off this old article I read and I am sure most of you have:
http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/leaneating_1.htm


I quote:
Demling et al (2000) compared two groups on a 2100 to 2300kcal diet containing 143gP (26%), 286gC (52%), and 49gF (20%). Both groups weight trained for twelve weeks but received 75g of their daily protein intake from either a whey-based drink or a milk-protein isolate drink (80% casein, 20% whey). At the end of the study, the milk-protein isolate group lost more fat (15.4lbs vs. 9.2lbs), gained more lean mass (9lbs vs. 4.4lbs), and gained more upper and lower body strength than the whey group. It appears that milk protein isolate ingestion, when on a training program, may be a better way to enhance fat loss and muscle gain.


My Question:
I have been using IsoPure Whey Protein, but seeing the above statement which is in the article is leads me to want to get a milk based protein drink as my primary "protein" shake mix drink. I will of course have a little of all proteins throughout the day as the article suggested.

Should stick with a 100% whey or go to the milk based?

it would not hurt to try and then get back to us... I currently only take my whey post workout with Maltodextrin... I take casein protein at all other times... I think the casein just burns slower and gives you a more constant stream of nutrients - whey burns much quicker....

what are some milk based proteins?

check out proteinfactory.com or proteincustomizer.com....

i am a big fan of the factory!!!

I love milk protein isolate, it's cheaper than the whey isolates and since I'm slightly lactose intolerant so concentrates make me "explosive." I use hydrolized whey during and post workout but otherwise it's milk isolate. Another advantage of milk isolate is that it retains the mineral content of milk so you get plenty of calcium and other minerals(calcium has been shown to help in losing body fat).

damn.. problem is finding a decent product that contains 80% casein and 20% whey and doesn't cost so much per pd.

Here is what I found:

if anyone can suggest another product for a better $$ please reply.

Any 100% milk protein isolate product will be 80%/20% by definition.

The only times you can much benefit from the quick digesting properties of Whey protein is first thing in the morning to halt the catabolic state of sleep, pre/during workout to prevent a negative nitrogen balance, and immediately post-workout to help restore a positive nitrogen balance. I like the proteinfactory myself.

protein factory

How does the milk protein isolate from protein factory mix/taste?

crazy idea, but what if you mix whey powder in real milk?
