If we didn't try new processes, either would stall. Just trying to bridge the fasting gap between last meal and breakfast here.

If I may, I don't think that Scorcher was talking about getting enough protein from powders but rather how many pills would you have to take for it to be enough to be worthwhile?
People are acting like casein and things like it are magic bullets so that just taking a few capsules worth could possible make a difference. And it CANNOT possibly make a difference in the long run.
You say that you think of the powder as supplements but it is clear from the question that you also thing of them as extra powerful. Nobody would eat a bit of chicken before bedtime and think that this would make a difference in their diet yet people will pop a few protein pills. Yes, you can buy casein in a capsule labeled "aminos".
This whole eating before bed has gotten way blown out of proportion anyway. And especially casein and whey and casein versus whey and all that nonsense.
