Whey too much ?

[xonic2xonic]

I get almost half my daily protein intake from whey. Is there any problem with this?

Thanks!

I get perhaps 100 grams from whey (2 shakes) and the rest from food, so it comes out to about 60/40 (food/shakes).

I see no problem with it...its better than not getting protein at all.

i try to get 180 grams of whey, 180 grams of whole food or casein/egg(like problend or mass fuel) protein a day. and i am always successful in that.

I saw a video of Greg Kovacs and he said he gets 50% of his protein from shakes.

isnt it better if those shakes contain a blend of protein instead of just whey?

 

[Paulos]

Whey is very quickly digested, I'd only use it post workout or upon waking.

I get about 50-60% from shakes. Also I always use blends, except right before training I take WPI.

 

[scruples]

is it possible to slow down whey's absorption w/the addition of a TBSP of flax oil?? or is the difference negligible??

 

[rickcorso]

anyone know where to find a really cheap protein blend powder?

You can buy bulk, but I forget the name of the main place ppl here talk about.

In any even, whey is certainly not the cheapest protein source. I just find it easier to drink 5 scoop shakes (with a bit of yoghurt and skim milk.) Than the equivalent 4 tunas or chickens (in adition to the 4 I already do.)

i have 2 shakes (44g P each) and the rest is from dairy (100g P from cottage cheese) milk etc.......

Nothing can beat real food... shakes are a supplement, but I feel at least for me, gains come quicker and bigger when using real food as the bulk of my protein.

check out www.proteinfactory.com
I just ordered another set of powder from them. Prices are great, customer services is awesome (I wish they heard me now to give me a discount for a future purchase
I just ordered 25 lbs or MRP and pure whey, egg protein. The mix will be awesome! Plus to it I have 6 lbs of Triple Threat. I'm all set for my cycle... All together 25 lbs - 98 bux., triple threat I think was 40 bux...

I used 25g (protein) whey in every meal of the day, taken in water its digested in about 20 minutes, if used with other foods then yes it will last longer but nothing like egg/milk etc.

Hey aky, you are vegetarian then? Aren't you missing some essential proteins/amino acids with just whey and dairy?

 

[lonewulf]

As long as you mix whey with your other foods you will be fine. I like to have some whey in 2% milk, and some cottage cheese before bed.-WULF

yes i am... i know.. its getting hard for me... not too many choices....

At this point, I think of Triple Threat as the IP of MRP's. It's not consistent and often underdosed (protein). I have plenty sitting around that I'm going to give to girls I know because for them shit doesn't matter. I'm done with Triple Threat.

Go to yahoo and type in "esupp".They sell a 10lb optimum nutrition whey bag for 45 bucks.I usually take in 2 scoops in the morning along with 2 glasses of milk and 2 nat pb sandwhiches.And of course 2 scoops after training along with glycoload and my ala.I read on here somewhere that whey is digested very quickly and around 50% (sucks huh!) of it converts to glycogen.Its definately not a protein you would want to use alot.Try 2 scoops in the morning with a meal and then 2 scoops after workouts and at night eat a pound and a half of cottage cheese.The cottage cheese is slow digested and has a great amino acid profile.Not to mention a pound and a half is 90 grams of protein with only about 20 carbs and 30 fat,watch out if your cutting tho.
