Protein shakes or Protein from food
on 1/27/2009 \| filed in: Bodybuilding / Exercise and Workouts / Nutrition and Supplements / Sport Fitness and Training

Does it really matter where you get your protein from? Is a protein shake/drink just as good as if you were eating a food that was rich in protein?

I have found when I am on the road for work if I can't carry a cooler with my food I struggle to find proper nutritious food. When I am in a suburban environment I go to the grocery and get yogurt, fruits and lunch meat in a pinch but - I was wondering what to do when I am on the run, travelling and there is no way to get healthy food.

I have never found a protein bar that is pure. will not eat them.

A vary old and stupid argument. This like training info needs to be applied according to what goals you or your client has period.
You cannot tell a bodybuilder not to get the extra protein he or she needs from food alone, please.

Its the same with the old multi vitamin argument, If your sitting on your couch playing Video games you probably dont need to spend the money on Vitamins, but if you are active you better be on a good Mul;vitamin mineral supplement.

	jswanz1 January 28, 2009 2:26 AM	Food hands down. Your body does a much better job at processing it, plus who the hell knows whats really in protein powder anyway since the FDA doesn't regulate that stuff.

Although Muscle Milk does the job in giving you a lot of protein, it also has a lot more fat in it than the whey protein. But I'd say stick to food as much as possible.

First thier are different types of Protein for different purposes, you dont ingest Whey before bedtime ( its only got a 2 hr or less digestion rate) you would use a blended, or Egg White, or Cassien.
