What is absorbed more quickly, 12 grams of protein from cottage cheese
or 12 grams of protein from a combo of kidney beans and 2% milk?

The short answer is: cottage cheese. Is that what you wanted to know?

Casein or whey post-workout?

It doesn't matter too much. What do I do? Whey + carbs immediately
before workout, and whey + carbs at the end of the workout; casein
(cottage cheese) sometime over the next few hours. It's not a precise
science. The ideal is to maintain (and pulse) the circulating pool of
amino acids over time. Casein breaks down into its constituent amino
acids and is absorbed into the blood stream more slowly than whey;
think of it as "timed release" amino acids.

So in theory, casein prior to workout, so there's a constant supply of
protein? Kind of like complex carbs prior to?

Whey is probably better before workout to provide immediate
availability. Even whey takes a little while to break down in the gut
and disperse. Here's what most would consider the official word on
the subject: http://tinyurl.com/a8we3

>Kind of like complex carbs prior to?

Not complex carbs. Simple sugars. Some feel obliged to use glucose
or dextrose or maltodextrin, but sucrose (table sugar) or a fruit
drink containing high-fructose corn syrup will work just fine.

I usually eat 1 cup of steel cut oatmeal and a couple eggs, or a serving of
Cytogainer (mmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm) about 45 min. prior to working out. I
drink a can of Coke (I know, I know) on my way home, then drink a protein
shake as soon as I get home (about 15 min.).

Close enough.

If changing one variable at a time actually worked, we'd put the whole
field of Operations Research out of business! Try to optimize muscle
mass by tweaking the amount of exercise here -

Aw, come on, that was a funny answer the guy gave.

They say either that you **** it right out or that it gets turned into
fat.

Supposedly it also disturbs your sleep...?

Speaking of which, I've always wondered -- I thought the body shuts
down almost completely during sleep??

And I've also read that having your sleep disturbed like that isn't
good for building muscle -- it's like throwing a monkey wrench into an
assembly line, allegedly.

The problem with such self-experiments is the highly subjective nature
of interpretation, obviously.

Hell, if I really think about it, weight training is ******** -- not a
very cost-effective use of time.

Health? Okinowan villagers frequently live well over 100 and are still
walking around doing gardening, etc.

Strength? You work so hard just to "keep up" with the asshole teenage
thug-wannabe who gets it eating fried chicken and drinking beer?

Sexual attraction? If you're just after sex, nothing impresses like
money and power and material possessions.

Really, anything you do, you can always find reasons pro and con. So
why do you do it?

Because.

So, as for protein before bed...the answer is "whatever."
