Casein is more expensive than whey though, right?

I love nuts and oats. My usual breakfast is porridge with banana and pecans - takes about 6 minutes to make with microwaving the porridge, and gets some good stuff in me first thing. Love nuts to snack on as well, but my sweet cravings just never go away no matter what I eat. It's annoying. At least polyols seem a reasonable substitute. Cue the 'polyols give you cancer' articles in 3,2..

I usually only have scoop of casein the day after a resistance workout. One 5 lb tub lasts me 6 months, I think it's around $50 on amazon S&S, Gold brand. Chocolate flavor's not bad, might be enough to satisfy a sweet tooth, and much better than cottage cheese which is kinda gross.

That's good value. I don't mind cottage cheese though. Used to eat loads when I worked out all the time! Depends very much on the brand I found - some have a higher fat content and are thus more palatable. It was one of the cheapest sources of protein I was able to find.
