What exactly is whey?

It’s the watery byproduct from milk after it has been curdled and strained. From its origin, you’d expect it to taste...well, not so good.


Thankfully, after egghead scientists add delicious flavors, that’s not the case. It actually tastes pretty darn good. Try any of these*protein-packed, whey products*and see for yourself. *

How much protein should I consume?

The amount of protein you want to consume hinges on your fitness or*weight loss*goals. According to Lynn, a good way to project how much protein you should consume in grams is to aim for your target weight, not what you currently weigh.

“If you want to weigh 180 pounds, aim for 180 grams of protein to feed the muscle and starve the fat,” she suggests. “But do it in increments that your body can utilize.”

That would be 24 grams every two to three hours. Shoveling more than that down your gullet won’t help you get bigger or stronger; it’s simply a waste. Instead, space out your protein intake.

This is just one side of the argument. For Lynn (not you Eazy, I know you are just repeating this info) to say that eating any more is a waste is just not true. We are just not designed that way.

We don’t just shit out unused protein if we happen to eat more than 24g in a three hour period. We store it to be used for when we can’t get any protein. That storage will be in our muscles, our tissue and yes, if we eat too many calories or protein to exceed our calorie demands in our adipose tissue (blubber). This storage gives the body the means to reuse this protein (essential amino acids) in times of shortage. Just because bodybuilding has become increasingly popular over the last half a century or so and because supplement companies have designed products to help us eat ‘properly’ doesn’t mean that our bodies have also changed or adapted to eat the way these supplement companies would like us to eat.

Protein, especially whole food and fatty protein, is very satiating and that is probably why many bodybuilders choose to spread out their protein meals throughout the day. That’s also why many choose to add a much easier digestible liquid protein such as whey.

As long as you consume the appropriate amount of protein to suit your body size, energy requirements, muscle building needs etc it really doesn’t matter how many hours, within reason, it takes to do that.

Another good read Eazy. It’s good to give us all a prod and get us thinking!
