Cottage Cheese or Casein Protein????

[MuscleMama87]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Hey guys!! My tummy cant take the casein protein EVERY night..so if I substitued with 1 cup of cottage cheese can I still I still get the same effect?? [/SIZE][/FONT]

You should get the same effect with 1/2 cup...Your body can only absorb so much protein at once anyway. Casein is preferred (whatever the source) because it absorbs slowly.

The only thing about cottage cheese is watching the other macros... fats and carbs can be higher in CC than they would be in a casein shake.

X2 what viridian said!
I LOVE my casein. I want it twice a night!
What brand do you use MM?

Cottage cheese is casein protein, so if casein bothers you then cottage cheese will as well. Or, perhaps you are having adverse reactions to whatever is in your protein powder other than the casein.

I thought the same thing. If the casien from the diary product isn't hurting your tummy their might be something in the protein that is causing it.
I use ON and it does make me alittle gassy but I take it right before I sleep so I sleep through that =0)

Yep, you're probably sensitive to dairy. I love my casien, but if I use it too much I get wicked side effects :(
