    Casein vs. WHEY , when to use?

    Right now i take a ON Casein protein shake during breakfast, a few hours later after class is my workout, and after my workout i drink a prepared ON WHEY protein shake. I garner enough protein throughout the day to get me well above the 250 mark with other sources (chicken, eggs, protein shake-in-a-can.) Then at night i take a casein protein shake. My question is this:

    The way i'm taking my protein right now, is that good or bad?

    Should i take casein in the morning or just nights?
    Should i drink more WHEY shakes throughout the day or just post workout?
    Are the protein shakes in-a-can doing anything? (advertised as 35g per can) and can be found at trader joes

    thanks

    Whey by day (especially post-workout). Casein by night.

    whey, when you need the highest increase in protein synthesis (post workout, possibly preworkout also). Casein when you need less muscle catabolism (at night or when you can't eat for a while.)
