should I take casein with or instead of whey protein? what are the benefits/disadvantages?
Take both.
Casein is a slow-absorption protein. It sits in your gut and gives you a slow, steady stream of protein. Allegedly prevents muscle loss.

Also keeps you satiated longer. Helps if you're on a cut.

Casein doesn't mix well

HAHAHAHA
depends when you drink your shakes
before bed: casein
after waking up/after workout: whey
dont need both though unless you eat like trash

does milk contain casein? what about quark?
I usually drink 250ml of really hot milk before bed, it's become a ritual since I was a kid(took it from my mother)
sometimes I also eat quark

All of these. Also, milk has both casein and whey in ideal proportions, you can drink that and save money. You don't have to go full GOMAD either, see how much you can comfortably fit into your macros and go for it.

casein releases slower but it doesn't fucking matter at all in actuality, just take whey because casein has the mixability of concrete
The casein gas is fucking awful
Casein is overall a much higher quality food product, and because of the slow absorption, doesn't fuck with insulin. Whey is better intra/post wo. Casein is best throughout the day or before bed.
If I take Casein right before bed, will that change the hours for IF? Like since it doesn't digest immediately, should I add a few hours to my fast every day?

Get whey. Casein is so fucking hard to mix and drink. The slow absorption shit doesn't matter. All it matters if it you ate the required amount of protein for the day.
