benefits of different protein types
so, i know whey protein is a good supplment and is beneficial during the day and after a workout b/c it's broken down and utilized rapidly. casein is good before going to sleep b/c its broken down more slowly and can therefore be used by the body throughout the night.
my question is, is there any benefit in including egg protein in one's diet?

rephrase
i guess what i meant was is there a benefit of egg white protein (powder or from teh real thing) over whey or casein? i don't really like the taste of eggs (i can stomach egg beaters if i add meat and salsa) and know that you can buy egg protein powder. should this protein source be a staple in my diet, or is whey protein and protein from meats suffiecient?

Have you tried just separating the whites out??? Egg Beaters isn't 100% pure and it is HORRIBLE.

"Egg Beaters is made from real eggs, but only the best part — the whites"

off topic responses, but i found
this. i guess i answered my own question.
Whey Protein – Whey is tremendous for post-workouts because that's when your body needs protein the most, and whey digests quickly (30 minutes or so).
Egg Proteins – Egg (albumen) digests at a medium pace (1.5 - 3 hours) so you can use egg products anytime to supply a sustained release of amino acids to your body.
Soy – Soy is the vegetarian's best friend because it is derived from plants and is a protein source. Soy is not as effective in terms of absorption as whey or egg protein. However, soy has many recognized health benefits for women as well.
Casein Products – Casein is digested very slowly (2 - 7 hours) so it would be a good idea to use casein before bed because that is usually the greatest time your body goes without getting protein.

egg protein is the absolute best protein, hands down....highly digestible, low in cals (whites), and an "amino bath"
now the smell and preparation aren't pleasant, and you can certainly reach your protein requirements w/o eggs....
it's just an undeniable staple in a weightlifter/athlete's diet, and has been for soooooo long...

Flax seed or oil (I going to go with oil so i can put it in my shake)
Nuts (plain, almonds are probably the best option here)
Fish (espeically salmon)
Olive Oil (you can put it over a salad, hey i didnt say it would taste good)

P.S. This can all be found in the cutting sticky but most people dont read those until they are directed there
