Match your protein to your workout needs
Different types of proteins are absorbed at different rates. For people who exersize a lot (weight lifters, athletes, etc) take the appropriate protein at the proper time. For example, casein protein, found in cottage cheese and milk, is a slowly absorbed by the body. These are best taken at bed time or before long periods without protein. On the other hand, whey protein, also dairy based, is quickly absorbed making it ideal for post workout consumption.
