Which kind of protein to get from Allthewhey??? so many to choose from....

I have been using the whey protein isolate from allthewhey in place of the Isopure I had been buying for the past few years.... I am interested in trying some different kinds (since Allthewhey has several) but I have no clue of which is "the best" and what the benefits of one over the other are. Here are the different kinds on the website:

Milk Protein Isolate http://www.allthewhey.com/mipris.html
Whey protein isolate http://www.allthewhey.com/whpris.html
Whey protein blend http://www.allthewhey.com/whprbl.html
Whey protein concentrate http://www.allthewhey.com/whprco1.html
Whey protein opti-blend http://www.allthewhey.com/opprbl.html
Hydrolyzed Whey Isolate http://www.allthewhey.com/hywhis.html
Calcium Caseinate http://www.allthewhey.com/caca.html
Micellar Casein http://www.allthewhey.com/micellarcasein.html


any guidance or help with what the bene's are between these would be great! I am assuming some are better pwo, while others may be more geared toward a.m. or p.m. or just a daily shake, etc.

Depends when you are going to use it. Whey is a fast digesting protein and is great post workout. Casein and Milk protein isolate is good if you are going to use the powder in meal replacement drinks or before bed since it is a slower digesting protein. Don't overthink it tough. Just buy a protein use it post-workout, have a good diet, and workout hard and you will get results.

My understanding is that the order is concentrate -> isolate -> hydrolyzed, in order of increasing refinement. IOW, hydrolyzed would be able to be most quickly utilized by the body. Casein is digested more slowly than any whey and recommended before bedtime. Then, of course, you see products that recommend blending all of the above (plus egg protein) so you get the immediate benefits of the hydrolyzed protein and the continued benefits of the slower digesting proteins as the body processes them.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.

Fun to be able to get exactly what you want, but probably overkill to worry too much about all of this. I would, however, probably avoid straight hydrolyzed protein if taste is important to you.

Whey is for post workout.

Milk protein isolate or casein is slower digesting. Good for mornings and nighttime.

If you have no problems digesting lactose, then get the whey concentrate. It's the cheapest and works just as well as everything else. The whey protein isolate is a little bit more refined and won't give you digestion issues.

Also don't just look at protein per serving,but how many servings are in the container, or scoops per serving.

I just got some Allthewhey which is 26 grams per serving, but that's two scoops I was expecting that much from one scoop (meaning this protein will last half as long as I expected).

Natural milk protein is about 20% whey, 80% casein. Whey is absorbed much more rapidly by the body, for some reason, 40 minutes is popping into my head. Casein, on the other hand, spikes aminos at about 1 hr and they don't return to normal for about 7-8 hrs.

So buy the whey, mix it with water and slam it after you workout. Then, before bed, mix it with 16+ oz of milk (a tall glass or full shaker cup).

False. Independent studies have shown that taking a combination of casein with another protein like whey, gives the optimum growth/muscle mass buildup/whatever term you want to use. People that say casein is only good for nighttime and whey only good for post workout are spreading half-truths.

I decided to go for the whey isolate for pre/post workout and got the milk protein isolate for bedtime snack and sometimes to use in the a.m. wit breakfast (I believe it is an 20% whey, 80% caisen mix)..... I havent found a 100% casein that I can actually choke down yet so hopefully the milk protein is a bit easier to drink.

Don't forget that All The Whey sells direct to the consumer on ebay, bypassing the middle men.

You can also get quantities of up to 50 lbs (comes in a bag, not a canister) and you can get sample packs.

last time I got it, I had the cinnibun and it was amazing....very close to isopure but 1/3 of the price. Also tried the banana and it sucked, this time just went for straight chocolate, usually cant go wrong with that.

I like their blend a lot. Comparable to ON 100% but a bit thicker. If my stomach could handle the concentrate, I'd buy it to save money. I don't buy the slow digesting protein shakes, don't seem much point in them when I can just eat eggs or cottage cheese before bed.

Is this really a good idea right before you go to sleep? Won't that spike sugar levels which then stores fat?

Sugar and lactose spike insulin levels, which is good for muscle building I hear.
