    what would be more ideal?

    What would be better before bed in a bulking diet
    tuna and flax
    or casein and npb shke

    I am trying to decide if i need to buy casein protein or not.

    Would the Npb slow the absorption of whey down long enough for whey to last through the night?

    Whole meals should (except pwo) always be favored over a dietary supplement. Watch out for saturated fats in casein. Although casein is the slowest digesting protein, egg protein is not far behind it so this may be a better choice...and obviously you would not want whey. Personally, I'd say stick with the real food. If nothing else, throw in a scoop of egg protein with your meal.
