Mailbag: Whey or Casein, or both, and when?

Speed is over-rated!
Dear AllStarHealth,
I need advice, please. I am trying to lose about 25 lbs. I do cardio 3 days a week and weights 3 days week. My friend and I pooled our AllStarHealth order to save on shipping and since he got some Casein Protein, I ordered some too. He was saying it was better than Whey protein powder, but I forgot why. So when I went and read up on it, from what I have read everyone seems to say whey is better because it absorbs faster. Is that true and does it make a difference which one I use?
Thanks,

Whereas people used to just use one type of protein powder, it’s very common now to see people using 2 or 3 types and buying different flavors of one type. They’re just more popular now than ever and people can take advantage of the different types.
It’s true that whey absorbs faster than casein protein, that’s the gist of it, but (more…)
