Cottage Cheese or casein shake before bed?

I use liquid egg whites, not raw.  Liquid whites have been pasturized, which means they have been heated to 134 degrees, which breaks up the proteins.

david its definitely true, but if you are buying egg whites separately in a carton or whatnot they are like robertn said pasteurized thus allowing them to be digested

yea i should probably just stop using them. to clarify are they completely useless or is it like u only get 50% of the nutrients?

i believe they are not completely useless but because of the lowered bio-availablity of the protein there are much better ways to get protein.

"Egg proteins contribute substantially to the daily nitrogen allowances in Western countries and are generally considered to be highly digestible. However, information is lacking on the true ideal digestibility of either raw or cooked egg protein. The recent availability of stable isotope-labeled egg protein allowed determination of the true ideal digestibility of egg protein by means of noninvasive tracer techniques. Five ileostomy patients were studied, once after ingestion of a test meal consisting of 25 g of cooked 13C- and 15N-labeled egg protein, and once after ingestion of the same test meal in raw form. Ideal effluents and breath samples were collected at regular intervals after consumption of the test meal and analyzed for 15N- and 13C-content, respectively. The true ideal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 +/- 0.8 and 51.3 +/- 9.8%, respectively. A significant negative correlation (r = -0.92, P < 0.001) was found between the 13C-recovery in breath and the recovery of exogenous N in the ideal effluents. In summary, using the 15N-dilution technique we demonstrated that the assimilation of cooked egg protein is efficient, albeit incomplete, and that the true ideal digestibility of egg protein is significantly enhanced by heat-pretreatment. A simple 13C-breath test technique furthermore proved to be a suitable alternative for the evaluation of the true ideal digestibility of egg protein."

well 50% isnt good but at least it's something lol, an egg white is like 17 calories anyway so i'll just put in a spoonful of cottage cheese or something else in my shake, thanks for the info

The shakes are pretty pricey,So I tend go for the Cottage Cheese

Where do you buy your supplements? My Casein shake costs me about $1 for the 2 scoops in it. But I guess since ManU10 loves him some cottege cheese it doesn't really matter. :)
