  Is whey protein a superior protein choice?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Whey protein powder is a superior protein choice because it is rich in glutamine and essential amino acids. It can also decrease the amount of muscle tissue broken down during an exercise session and aid in the synthesis of protein as muscles are being rebuilt and strengthened. Other reasons include:

  • Whey stimulates the metabolism. The amino acid profile of whey enhances recovery from exercise by stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

  • Whey is derived from calcium-rich milk products. Foods with a high calcium content increase fat loss, especially if you are on a low-calorie diet.

  • Whey helps the body to recover more quickly from the stress of exercise.

  • Whey gives strong support to the immune system.

  • Due to its high amino acid and glutamine content, whey supports gastrointestinal health and offers relief from digestive distress such as cramps, bloating, and diarrhea.

First-choice protein sources include skim milk; fat-free cheese and cottage cheese; yogurt made from skim milk; 95 percent lean ground beef, turkey, or encased meats (sausage, bologna, etc.); skinless chicken breasts; white-meat tuna in water; egg whites; and nonfried fish and seafood.

  What are the benefits of protein?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  Protein is a stabilizing food that assists in insulin management, the building of lean muscle, and immune function. For men, ingesting adequate amounts of protein daily helps stop the decrease in testosterone levels that they experience as they age. Getting adequate protein also helps avoid or slow bone loss in women, especially after menopause.

  How much protein should I consume daily?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  A daily intake of 30 percent lean protein should be enough. The 30 percent protein is with respect to your total calorie intake on a daily basis. Because protein is not stored, three balanced meals and two or three snacks per day that include protein are required to suppress hunger and burn body fat during physical exercise.

  Are protein supplements really better than protein foods?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Protein supplements have its place when it is not possible for you to cook or prepare nutritious meals, but other than that you can’t completely replace real food with supplements. To develop muscle, sure you’ll need both, but if you have to choose you can’t go wrong with real food because they are a source of complete protein. Protein supplements are advantageous not in terms of absorption rate or quality but because of convenience. The protein supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry because a lot of people don’t have the time to buy, cook, prepare, and eat protein foods often and would rather drink a protein shake instead. Don’t believe too much of the hype though, and as much as possible keep your focus on real food.
