Whey Protein- EAS Simply Whey

[gettinstarted18]

I have recently ordered some EAS simply whey 80 servings, but on the site i ordered from it does not say a recomended number of servings per day.

If anyone uses this product or something similar can you give me some advice.

the only time you should use straight whey is post workout. any other time (with the exception of first thing in the morning) you should take a blened protein. something along the lines of Met
Rx APM 60 or something similar. whey is metabolized to quickly and is not a good choice for muscle building.

LAM....I heard whey was the best for building muscle?

Protein is the best for building muscle. Whey is only one type of it, and seems if you look around to be the most affordable type of protein.

Whey metabolizes to quick making the stream of protein spike instead of creating a steady stream like you would get with something with multiple protein types.

Lam is correct on this. Whey is excellent for post workout because of the amino acid profile it has. It gives muscles what they need after a hard workout to grow. Any other time of the day, morning or night, you need either casein or egg protein(sustained release over longer period of time).

What if you mix your whey with milk?

I have read that they whey protein is absorbed quickly but the milk needs more time.

Is there any particular sort of protein that should be consumed pre workout?

whey is a great protein to take pre-workout. the BCAA's in whey are metabolized directly by muscle tissue and can help give them the extra fuel needed to get through the training session AND fight muscle catabolism.

I would take about 20 grams in water directly before leaving for the gym.

EAS Simply Protein recommends 2 scoops (20 g) per serving. Personally, I use 4 scoops at a time (40 g).

I would always recommend you do one of two things:
1. Mix the protein with a fiber and fat (peanut butter, flax, blueberries) to slow the digestion of the protein.

2. Mix the protein with a high-GI carb to create an insulin spike, which in turn will drive the aminos into the muscle cells. (Often recommended as a post-workout shake.)

By taking the protein with just water or milk, the protein will be converted to glucose in the liver and create an insulin spike (which will thwart the fat-burning process).

And as far as whey being a good/bad protein, you should always vary your protein sources to maximize the potential of amino absorption. (The alternative is to try a 'protein specific' diet which you would utilize only one type of protein for a period of time, then switch the protein source for a period of time, then switch the protein source, etc. This is still a relatively new concept, so experimentation is required.)

Hey Tank...WTF have you been eating ? it looks like you've put on some serious mass since I first saw you last year.
