The problem with that is there is really only one rate of 'assimilation' with any given meal. Basically the denser the meal the slower it ALL assimilates. You can't have slow and fast at the same time. The meal you've described may be medium or slow but it will effectively cancel out the point of taking in the high GI's except to just get the total carbs up. Same thing with the protein. You mix whey and prtein and it's not longer super fast assimilation in terms of the whey. The biggest factor is the stomach, not the gut.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it. Everyone should do what they feel comfortable with and what they feel works. What I'm saying is that there is one speed of gastric emptying for any one meal. The more stuff you put in the longer it will sit in your stomach. The stomach can't somehow miraculously separated whey and high GI carbs from casein and low GI carbs. It will all be mixed into a thick slurry and it will all end up being assimilated slower than it would have if the fast protein and carbs were used alone. In other words, you can't really mix protocols to any real extent. You will either have fast, medium, or slow. Not one or more.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
