    Casein or Egg Protein

    I was buying Egg Protein for a slower digesting protein powder that I drink before I go to bed, but it is expensive. So I was thinking about going with casein instead, thinking that it may be a little cheaper, but it is just as expensive. Which one would I be better off going with? Which one is slower digesting? I don't like cottage cheese, so that is out and I need something convenient for a night time protein source.

    casein is by far the best source of protein to take before going to bed becuase it is the slowest releasing protein!
