what are some good examples of whole foods that are slow digesting proteins and which are fast
Fastest - Whey
Fast/Medium - Chicken, Turkey , Tuna, Eggwhites
Slower/Slow - Fatty Meats like Steak, WHOLE eggs, whole milk, Cottage Cheese

I know those are high protein content foods, but I'm talking just in terms of protein, not counting their fat content. Or is it just simply that proteins without fats are faster than proteins with fats?

Not really no. Most meats are slow digesting regardless of fat content, eggs are definitely not slow digesting, and neither is low fat dairy contrary to what everyone believes, and no, pb will not slow it down as much as just eating beef or pork in the first place.
Dairy
Skim milk, cottage or low fat pot cheese or ricotta - approx. 90 min. digestion time
whole milk cottage cheese - 120 min. digestion
whole milk hard cheese - 4 to 5 hours digestion time
Animal proteins
Egg yolk - 30 min. digestion time
Whole egg - 45 min.
Fish - cod, scrod, flounder, sole seafood - 30 min. digestion time
Fish - salmon, salmon trout, herring, (more fatty fish) - 45 min. to 60 digestion time
Chicken - 1 1/2 to 2 hours digestion time (without skin)
Turkey - 2 to 2 1/4 hours digestion time (without skin)
Beef, lamb - 3 to 4 hours digestion time
Pork - 41/2 to 5 hours digestion time
dude where the hell did you find all of that information lol
thanks. adding fats DOES slow it down though, right? i.e. if I have fat free yogurt with almonds vs. w/out almonds.
it does seem like the fattier meats (beef/pork) are just slower digesting than the ones with less fat (fish/chicken/turkey)

Sure it slows it down, it'll be somewhere between the speed of almonds and ff yogurt. FF yogurt is going to digest about as fast as any protein you can get short of whey or eggwhites, and almonds will take 2-3 hours. Once again meat kicks its ass.

yes, like aindreas said...eggs are actually a very quick absorbing protein. [correct me if i'm wrong, but i think egg protein is as fast as whey]
Egg takes about 2-3 hours. Whey takes about 30 min. not quite the same.
on the speed timeline you have 1.whey fastest 2. egg albuem medium 3. Casein slowest

Those numbers need to be taken with the caveats mentioned at the bottom...

(Editor's notes:
Note1: raw animal proteins have much faster digestion times than the above times for cooked/heated animal proteins.
Note2: The digestion times given are under an ideal situation of eating only one food, chewing well, and having efficient digestion, as is the case e.g. after a fast. They are digestion times for optimally healthy persons, with good eating habits. The digestion times are to a large part derived from Dr. Gian-Cursio's and Dr. Bass' practices.
Digestion times are much longer on a conventional diet, and for persons with non-optimized digestive systems, or persons lacking in energy, and for meals with many ingredients put together haphazardly = not in the optimum sequential order.) [/size][/quote]
But are digestive time and absorption time directly correlative.
Nice post in10city

Those times above are just supposedly the time spent in stomach before emptying so not necessarily... they are proportional for the most part though...
thanks a lot guys
