It's my understanding that insulin has a greater effect in transporting carbs than protein. I'm not sure what stimulates protein digestion, transport and usage in repairing muscle damage. I've got some material on it but I don't recall offhand and can't be bothered reading it again. At any rate I'm happy with protein, milk, Milo. I reckon that gives enough of a balance for my needs on my lifting program. If I wanted to mix it up I'd consider adding/swapping bananas, honey.
