How much does protein type really matter with meal timings?

It doesn't matter for any one below the advanced/elite levels.

protein timing and type, as far as we know, seem to not be that important as long as you eat proteins with complete amino acid profiles (any animal protein, or Soy, or proper combinations of incomplete plant proteins to create a complete profile) and get enough throughout the day. Meal timing in general seems to be largely a marketing ploy for the supplement industry, although there is some evidence that simple carbs after a workout to spike insulin may have some (minor) effect on promoting muscle growth.

Casein, in my opinion, is kind of a waste of money. Usually tastes worse than whey for the same (or higher) prices and I'm fairly sure there's never been conclusive evidence that it works much differently. Egg is useful predominantly for people who have problems digesting dairy proteins.

Largely doesn't matter. Just get protein in at some point in the day and you iz Gucci.

Whey, egg, casein, are all great sources of easily digesible proteins. Dont worry about it.
