John: Same rules apply for these as the whey or milk protein. Make sure you’re getting a high dose per serving (at or above 80% protein per serving) and, then just go on taste and well it mixes.
Brad: Add in some flour and you have pancake mix. Again, it’s no different than whey protein..or whey protein is no different than this. I still do not think you will see any difference between this or whey.
Rusty (Follow-up): It sounds like the supplement companies work hard advertising the differences of their “whey based protein” to sell it as a superior protein but in reality the differences are negligible. Am I on the right track?
John: Yup. Whey protein as well as the other dairy based protein are all good. If you’re going to use one I would just go for one that mixes well and tastes good. Casein protein seems to taste better because it tends to mix up a bit thicker and creamier than whey but a certain portion of the population is allergic to casein and will get an upset stomach from it. If you’ve tried casein and it gave you indigestion then you might want to try whey protein as most people can handle whey without an issue.
Brad: I would hazard a guess that the difference in your physique will not be remarkable by any stretch of the imagination.
