Oh I didnt see that anyone had responded. Sorry!
Heat processing ruptures and reforms protein molecules. It's called denaturing, and it makes digestion and absorption difficult."
"even if whey is denatured by heat (a good bet), the worst case scenario is that is less water soluble, so it might take a bit longer to get into the small intestine. But of course, if its in something that you cooked, its probably stuck with other stuff anyway, so it would be slow even if it were soluble. Plus, you probably aren't concerned with 'fast nutrition' with the baked item."
Sounds like conflicting opinions on this topic. Both arguments sound reasonable. I wish we could get some anecedotal evidence to try to judge if cooking it has perhaps slowed anyone's gains.
