protien shake before bed?

If you purchase casein or milk isolate directly from the manufacturer it's a little over three dollars a pound but you have to buy a twenty kilo bag and it's unflavored.
 
The Boire study I quoted was from 2000 if I remember correctly and Scott Connelly was using milk isolate and casein as his primary ingredients in met-rx as far back as the early 1990's. Looks like he was ahead of his time but got bulldozed by the whey marketing machine.

I have a question, I read that it actually takes 3 months for your intestines and stomach to breakdown meat. I do the same as many on here and drink and a protein shake and take fiber to slow the breakdown process.

So my question is since it takes sooo long to break down these meats how can you fully take advantage of the nutrients, and get them immediatly? I would think that taking some sort of shake would be better after a work out and hitting the sack since you can get nutrients immediatley(kind of like a pill works I guess)? Any thoughts here...

Where did you read that it takes 3 months for your body to breakdown meat, I heard that it can take up to 3 days, but I've never heard of it taking 3 months.
 
That's garbage....completely.....After putting food into your mouth, it (the bolus) then has to travel through the entire gastrointestinal tract before coming out the other end. The gastrointestinal tract for the purposes of this exercise includes the oral cavity, the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.

Food travels down the oesophagus at a rate of approximately 3 to 4 centimetres per second (1 to 2 inches), and the entire process takes about 5 to 6 seconds. In the stomach, food tends to hang around for a little longer and this depends on a variety of factors including the amount of food you have consumed, how much fat it contains, and also the acidity of the stomach. However, all food should have left the stomach within 2 to 4 hours.

In the small intestine, digestion continues and absorption occurs. From here on, the time to defecation will vary depending on the time it takes to adequately digest and absorb in the small intestine. This will usually take 5 to 6 hours. The "food then enters the colon for further digestion and water reabsorption before defecation. The time from it’s entering the colon to defecation is about 12 to 24 hours.

Thus, the time for food to travel from one end to the other probably ranges from about 20 to 30 hours. Although I haven’t had the time to look further into the rest of your question, I hazard a guess that it is unlikely that meat will hang around for a week given that the gastrointestinal tract is very effective in breaking it down with various enzymes and acidity of the stomach. Foods high in protein and fats probably would probably take a little longer to pass through than if it were carbohydrate
 
I 2nd that JKurtz... learned that in Nutrition class, but after workout (starting the workout around 6 p.m.) I drink a shake right after... then eat about 45 min to an hour after that.

The putrefaction shit about meat is a myth from some vegetarians

DITTO!

I'm not sure where I heard that myth, I think it was on t.v.

Damn first the calcium depletion myth from protien and now this, I guess you can't believe everything that you hear. :)
