I think you’re getting too specific with your diet and losing track of your goals. Don’t worry so much about the break down and instead focus on eating as much as your body tells you to and if you keep the portions in control with clean foods you will see the results you’re aiming for and you will be much happier for it. Calorie counting and detailed breakdowns often lead to frustration and over-thinking everything!

Should be good, but I find that some proteins out there are really low quality and cause a lot of stomach discomfort especially because of the artificial sugars they use. View my article Best Protein Powders

Great idea to have it with breakfast, so you did it right. Great way to start of your day with the right nutrition.

Is Whey Protein Considered a breakfast? Or do have it in the Morning along with healthy breakfast? I had one this this Morning and ate Kashi cereal after. Was I suppose to do that? or is that too much food?

Bonjour Sam, TY for your answer. Nope, no fat burners, I do drink a lot of tea, both black and green. How could that be a possible source? Sodium could be a more plausible cause, you had told me already I should have more when I asked you how come I had headaches during HIIT even though I was drinking. I guess I still havent fixed that completely if that could be the cause. Thank you very much!

Hi GD, I really doubt that would occur due to whey protein, never heard of anything like that. Are you taking any fat burners, or drinking excessive caffeine/tea? Also lack of sodium in your diet may also be the cause, make sure you get enough electrolytes like sodium in your diet if you are doing endurance sessions.

Hello there,
I was wondering about a possible side effect: I'm a 25 yo female, training 6 times a week for triathlons and ultra-marathons and taking whey after trainings. I curently live in Sweden and even though it is sommar now, it is not 50*C either but I have been suffering from increased heat and sweating lately so I was wondering if that could be a consequence to the Whey? I have changed the amount I am taking but I have modified my training, and therefore maybe might have gained extra muscle which might also explain? I have always suffered from heat above 15*C but again, it is not that warm here so have you heard anything similar from your clients or friends or yourself? Thanx

Hi Alec, here is my best advice. Protein drink an hour before workout, creatine drink in grape juice 30 minutes before workout, then glutamine right after your workout. According to my extensive research on these supplements this is definitely the best way to get maximum absorption.

Hi Sam,
I was just wondering what you thought would be the best way of incorporating whey, creatine, and glutamine into a typical day. Can you combine the glutamine and creatine into a drink like grape juice at the same time? And should they be taken before or after work-outs? Thanks for any tips

Hi abdulaziz, there have been some studies where people who take way too much protein have had issues with liver and kidneys, but I’ve never heard anything about infertility. I think a good age to start taking whey protein would probably be around 16-18.

Hi Denise, it's all about the intensity of your workouts, you have to pick it up in order to get your body to change this. You might also find Yoga to be extremely beneficial when it comes to feeling bloated as well as reducing your sodium intake. Make sure to read my article on high intensity interval training

Sam,
Hi. I just read your website and bio and am impressed. I have always used spirutein protein powder actually since 1989. I am usually between 118-123 size 2 &4. For the past month I have put on 7lbs. Diet hasnt really changed–just jelly beans (jelly belly) a bit more than usual never effected me before. My work outs are not as intense as before and I am tired all the time. I am a vegetarian (accept for fish) I just added non fat milk to my diet. I usually work out daily- 1 hr cardio run jog and stairmaster, light weights circuit training. Never has this BLOATED feeling for 3 weeks!!
what do I do? starve? i am usually around 1200k per day.

Hi Emilio, 100% whey gold is the best seller so I would go that route first and then switch it up and try the muscletech to see how different it is.

A mixture of both is great since casein takes a little longer to digest so the amino acids over time can help replenish the muscles in between meals. With this in mind, alternatively you can take casein 1hr before a workout and whey protein immediately after a workout to see how that affects your muscle growth.

Hi Apple, I disagree, whey protein will help you lose weight especially if you use it to replace junk food or snacks which lack nutrients. Try taking it as a snack in between meals and I believe you’ll notice good results as long as you’re also working out at least 3 times a week.

Hi! I have big problem about losing weight because i don’t really get that much exercise (i don’t have time to do it everyday. I only get to do it on weekends, sometimes once a week). I plan to take whey protein as a diet supplement but i read some reviews telling me that whey protein can actually make me gain more weight. and make me fatter. Im afraid this might happen. Any suggestion on what should I do? I now have champion 100%whey protein. I bought it because i read that its good for dieters but now, im afraid to take it. Hope you can help me out. Thank you.

Hi Sandra, whey protein is the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production. You can also read more about whey protein in my article whey protein isolate vs concentrate.

I was just wondering where Whey protein comes from? I’ve heard it is plant based (?) but which plant?

2 shakes a day is great and if you’re eating a balanced meal with high quality protein for dinner then you should be good without it. You can experiment to see how your body responds though as everyone is a little different. Personally I have a little whey protein at night only if I’m hungry and mostly during the winter when I’m bulking up a little.

Hi Loni, I haven’t heard of or tried Arbonne protein powder so I’m not sure how the results will be, but whey protein powder is definitely a great source of amino acids to help your muscles recover from intense exercise. It looks like on Arbonne’s web site they mention replacing a meal with their protein drink but I would not recommend that, instead it could be a healthy snack between meals. You can give it a go and see how your body responds and if the results aren’t that great switch over to tried and tested whey protein. Let me know how it goes!

Hi Aaron, you are right on the nose, from what I’ve read 30grams seems to be the most your body can absorb in one sitting. It’s better to space out your protein when you can.
