Isn't the protein content in yoghurt only minimally higher than in milk (1-3 g / 100 g) at best? Hardly worth the trouble unless you're very fond of yoghurt.

I think it's hilarious that the poster suggests adding protein powder to the mix and freezing. Disgusting.

Forget about cc or greek yoghurt. Bata is offering 4lbs ON Casein for RM 220 compared to egonutritions' 2lbs at RM 200. You won't see me making yoghurt when casein is so cheap.


Added on July 3, 2009, 8:46 amThe idea behind CC and Greek yoghurt is that you remove a lot of liquid. You turn a liquid food into a solid food. This is practical because you do not want to drink a whole litre of milk before bed. You'd be peeing the whole night.

The second reason is to neutralize the lactose. Yoghurt is tolerable in large quantities, unlike milk.

Of course the whole reason for all this is that the time when you sleep is the last unconquered territory for many strength trainees/ BBs. They feed themselves well when they are awake, with whole foods or whey or whatever. But they do nothing in that third of a day they are sleeping.

Why not eat a couple of egg whites before sleeping, in that case? I'm not being facetious, I'm curious about why you're emphasizing this so much.

Also, I'm hardly in a position to talk smack about this, but the majority of the posters in the discussion you linked look pretty malnourished as it is (5'8"/132 lbs? 5'9"/158 lbs?) and, I suspect, might benefit more from simply EATING MORE IN GENERAL instead of picking over the nutritional content of dairy products. It just seems like a case of missing the forest for the trees to me.
