Yeah, really! I found it difficult to sort through opinions with no written backup to find actual study results, either RCTs or longitudinal. The ncbi puts up links to other similar studies, which can be followed for even more reading.
My practice for years has been to drink 15g of flavored whey protein dissolved in plain water before meals and then 25g at bedtime. Not before every meal, just if it feels like a good idea. 1/2 hour before meals cuts down on total calories and seems to smooth out my blood sugar, just like the studies say. Amazing. The bedtime snack seems to improve recovery and prevent night-time hunger.
