Hi chrisb1,

thank you for your swift reply.  I will read each of your links soon.

I understand about heavy proteins and heavy starches making for a bad mix, but i wondered if "protein powder" (again whey) was so very light and easily digested that it might be an exception (ie: there is so little to be done in the stomach to break it down that the stomach would create an environment in which to optimally digest the heavy starch that the protein powder is sitting with in the stomach.  Is this absolutely untrue, ie: even a very light protein like the whey powder should be treated as if it were meat or fish in a food combining sense? 

as another follow up question, if the stomach started out completely empty, how long would you expect protein powder (say 1.5 scoops which is 45 grams) mixed with say 2 cups (16 oz) of water?  i am wondering in particular if the protein in this form is so "light" that it would possibly all but bypass the stomach (as fruit does) and go directly into the intestines to be digested.   

how long would you estimate a 300 calorie fruit meal would sit in the stomach before all of it was in the intestines? 

finally, if an individual drinks say a vegetable smoothie, say a carrot, a stick of celery and a big leaf of romaine lettuce, mixed with say 6 ounces of water, does the stomach work first to separate out the water and eliminate it from the stomach before focusing it's energies on digesting the vegetables?  and if so, how long would you expect it to be before the water was gone?  I ask because i wouldn't want to introduce the eggs or fish until i felt the water from the smoothie was gone, so that the digestive juices would be as undiluted as possible to take on these heavy proteins :). 

Thanks again,

Mighty
