There are proteins out there that are desiged to be utilized over a period of time but its more to do with the type of proteins I.E. whey Isolate protein being the fastest absorbed than on to concentrated and then onto egg eblum and into solid foods as protein sources. But idea is to have some source of protein availible over the duration until the next feeding. What you dont want is to do somthing like consume all whey Isolate because the body would burn through that to fast espesially as a post workout drink and then the remainder of the time you would be lacking in a protein source and your body needs that to feed your muscles if it doesnt have it you go catibolic feeding on your own muscle tissue which is a protein source!!! Visious Circle Of Life!!! Master it and change your Physical Image!!!! No different than Knowing how Anabolics work with your body or against it !!!!!!! Yes ON a cycle your body is burning in the upwards amount of 6000 or more calories. Are you feeding the machine or are you Letting it FEED on its self !!! Negative results!!!!
