whey protein......

[blm]

no powdered protein is anabolic as a whole egg!

Love protein bombs.

When I get sick of eating them plain I pickle a few dozen then just keep using the brine for awhile.

I use truenutrition.com or canadaprotien.ca and use the iso whey mostly.

No real food bro. I don't if much of any kind of whey survives digestion and makes it's wAy as proteins to body tissues.

Soy is the devil. Raises estrogen. It's tits and tears in a can.

Why not just use egg whites or eat something. Much better results IMO. Also protein powder is full of fillers that just put a layer of water and gunk under your skin just like all processed foods.

I totally agree. That's why you get that bloated feeling, but is there no protein powder that will keep you from bloating but will help? Seems like everyone I see has some form of soy, sugars, etc.

whey protein isolate contains less fat, carbs, and lactose then whey concentrate.

WHEY PROTEIN POWDER SHAKES VS. “REAL” WHOLE FOODS


If you browse the online bodybuilding forums or read articles from your typical run-of-the-mill “guru”, this is the standard piece of advice you’ll get on the issue of whey protein vs. whole foods.

You’ll be told that whey protein is fine to use as a supplement, but that whole food proteins are somehow superior and will produce better results when it comes to muscle gain, fat loss and overall health.

The problem is that… well… this is complete and total nonsense.


Whey Protein Vs. Whole Foods: The Reality

The fundamental error in this debate is that there’s no reason to separate whey protein and whole foods into two categories to begin with.

In reality, they’re the same thing.

Whey protein is a natural dairy derivative that is isolated during the process of turning milk into cheese. It’s “food” in the same way that steak, chicken and eggs are food.



In fact, about 20% of the protein content in the milk that you drink is derived from whey.

This is why people should stop viewing whey as a “supplement” and instead view it as one component of their whole food diet in the same way they view any other protein source.

The whole idea of “whey protein vs. whole foods” makes no sense to begin with.

It’s all food. Fish, cottage cheese, whey powder. Food, food, food.

Not only that, but those who tell you that “traditional” bodybuilding whole foods like chicken or steak are superior to whey protein are actually wrong – quite the opposite is true.

Now that we’ve established that whey protein and whole foods are actually the same thing, all we have to do is compare them objectively to see how whey stacks up…

1) Bio-Availability

Whey has the highest bio-availability of any protein available, meaning that your body will absorb and utilize the highest percentage of the total protein content in comparison to any other source.

2) Amino Acid Profile

Whey protein delivers the highest concentration of the most valuable amino acids involved in supporting muscle recovery and growth. (l-leucine, l-valine and l-isoleucine)

3) Carb/Fat Content

Whey delivers the most isolated source of protein possible, with the highest quality whey isolates providing zero fat and only 1 gram of carbs per serving.

4) Convenience

Because of its powdered form, whey is easily the most convenient source of protein out there. It can be used to mix up a quick liquid shake, sprinkled on top of your oatmeal/yogurt/cereal or used to make a variety of quick and easy recipes.

In addition to the above benefits, whey protein also improves immune system health (by raising glutathione levels), regulates appetite, increases serotonin production (which regulates mood/anxiety) and has direct fat burning properties as well.
