Whey protein is a popular supplement used to add protein to our diets.
Everyone needs protein and whey is the perfect protein because of its convenience and easy to use drinkability

During the process of converting milk into cheese, whey protein
is separated out. Whey is the highest quality and best source of protein
available to the public. It plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support
a healthy immune system. Studies have shown that whey protein contains the
perfect combination of amino acids needed for optimal performance in the
body. Consistent supplementation of whey with a good exercise program will
yield the results that you are looking for.

The amino acids commonly found can be classified in three different categories:

1) Essential Amino Acids
2) Non-essential Amino Acids
3) Conditionally Essential Amino Acids

The essential ones used in most powders powders are valine, threonine,
isoleucine, leucine, and lysine. Non-essential amino acids include aspartic
acid, serine, and alanine, while conditionally essential aminos are proline
and glutamine. Most whey protein powders also include a decent amount of
calcium and potassium, so its no wonder whey protein is the highest selling
sports nutrition supplement on the market today.

Most athletes consume around thirty grams daily,
while some bodybuilders even take amounts higher than two-hundred grams.
Large doses are not recommended because it will overload your liver and you
won’t get the same results you would get with a lower dosage. The best time
to consume whey protein is directly after a workout with some form of simple
carbs.  When I supplement with whey, post-workout is the
only meal I have it. I just make my meals with whole foods which in my
opinion, tastes better.

Assuming you eat six or more meals per day, you can get away with
having whey at different times daily. Just make sure that the rest of
your meals come from other protein sources such as egg whites and tuna. A
diet when you’re only having whey protein will not only taste bland, but you
will feel hungrier throughout the day because of whey’s instant
digestibility. Not what you want when trying to lose fat.
