Is 1/2 Scoop Whey + Milk/Curd a Good Option as a Fast & Slow Absorbing Protein?

Hi,

My name is Aashay and I wanted to know if a combination of whey and milk/yogurt would be a good protein option for my day’s 1st meal and a pre-workout meal.

I get up at 7 am and have my first meal at 8 am.
*1/2 scoop whey(12 gm protein) + 200 gm Yogurt.(9 gm protein).

I consume whey + milk/yogurt with the idea that it will give me an anabolic and an anti-catabolic effect until the next meal which is at 11:30 am.
*1/2 scoop whey(12 gm protein) + 300 ml milk (9 gm protein)

I would like to know if this protein combination is a good option I have chosen helping me with the idea I have stated above.

Also, I am a lacto vegetarian. (Dairy products + protein supplements are my only 1st class protein option) Will be waiting for your valuable suggestions.

I would say whey and milk/diary protein in general are a good option but really, what matters the most in your intake at the end of the day.

20 g of protein in one meal isn’t bad, but what are you eating for the rest of the day?

If you’re consuming enough calories during the day, you really shouldn’t have to worry about going “catabolic” between meals.

Thank you for the reply. Well, my daily requirement is 120 grams.
I have 6 meals/day. Distribution of first class protien is around 30 gms/meal.
My protien options are limited to eggs, cottage cheese/dairy products and whey.
My first meal is @9am and the second is at 1230.
Don’t have the time for a quick protien bite in between.
So my idea was to mix 300 ml of cow’s milk (9gm protien) with 1/2 scoop whey (12gm protien) which will give me a combination of fast and slow absorbing protien thus repairing & preventing muscle breakdown until my next meal.
So I wanted to know if this is a good idea!

Great, thank you!!:grinning:

Cottage cheese is a pure form of caesin protein (slow digesting) so you can try that too. But curd +whey protein is also a good option and it tastes good too (provided your protein shake tastes good)
