Similar Assertions

If young, active guys work out and then drink a shake with carbs and protein, it doesn’t help their muscles repair energy factories any better than just drinking carbs alone—within the first 6 hours after exercise.

If young, healthy guys eat 45 grams of protein before bed after a workout, their muscles build more energy-producing parts overnight compared to skipping the protein.

Drinking 45g of either whey or casein protein before bed helps muscle recovery just as much after endurance exercise in young, healthy guys — neither one works better than the other.

If young, healthy guys drink a protein shake before bed after working out, it doesn’t matter if it’s whey or casein—both help their muscles recover just the same overnight.

For young guys who work out regularly, drinking a shake with 20g of any kind of milk protein (like whey or casein) plus 45g of carbs after a combo of strength and cardio exercise helps build muscle just the same — it doesn’t matter which protein they pick.
