You can mix the two together...the casein breaks down much slower so that will feed your muscles longer. Whey is quick and is perfect for post workout. But That is a lot of protein from shakes tho....~ 100 Grams? right? I try not to do more than 50 grams a day...with the rest of my 300 grams coming from real food. I would stick to a mix of the two after your workout. If you had to do a shake at night just do strait casein....but if I were you I would just eat some cottage cheese. I eat it every night right b4 bed. Just my 2 cents

If I have an early start in the morning Ill have 2 scoops with ground oats for bfast. Considering that Im cutting, Ill have 2 more scoops pwo with fish oil. Thats it.

I try to have REAL food as much as I can but Id rather have a shake than nothing. Besides, if you start having 3-4 shakes/day your wallet will start crying.

jmo...

I do that sometimes. Take a half portion of casein and half of whey.

I drink shakes 1 - 3 times a day but my wallet aren't crying cause I´m not poor.
I drink whey after work out and casein sometimes in the middle of the day or for breakfast and sometimes as my last meal.
