How much protein???? please help!

[rose]

whey is such a Fad.. imagine how much money those supplement companies are making....

The guy's already bought it. Maybe you should go round to his house and make him throw it out?

Not one of you has justified why a 14 year old shouldn't have whey protein. It's all emotional bleating about poor defenseless children. I'm glad you people aren't my parents!

Everything is a fucken fad. That's not what the original query was about. Respond intelligently [MOD EDIT: No abusive comments, please]

I feel sorry for the original poster! Useless answers since ages ago!

and gyms arent a fad. they're a means of getting fit and staying healthy

protein powder is not beneficial for your health so whats your point?

Kernzzi,

I think the point you're missing is while you are probably correct in stating "protein powder is not beneficial for your health", it is also likely to be equally true that "protein powder is not detrimental to your health".

At the end of the day whey is just another type of food, as much as yoghurt or pastuerised milk is.

It happens to be cheap & convenient so people use it to raise their dietary intake. If you are fighting an anti-dairy or anti-whey crusade you are on a hiding to nothing in this forum! :nod:

As for mercury, I'm sure somethings going to kill me long before the heavy metal effects of Hg kick in! :grin:

yeah but don;t you agree that 14 is too young to start at the gym? at that age you should only to free weight exercises unless you want to stunt your growth and/or f@#k up your back

Protein powder isnt a fad, its a means of getting big and strong if used in the right way.

:pfft:

Whey Protein powder is good for your health. There's so much more to whey than just the protein in it hence why it has become so popular over the last two decades (I'm not sure if that counts as a fad). Perhaps you should do a little research into whey protein microfractions - lactoferrin, bovine serum albumin, immunoglobulins, alphalactalbumin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme etc etc. Once you have the grasp of those hopefully you will change your opinion.

There are some negatives to whey for some individuals however the positives far outweigh the negatives for the majority of the population.

hoy thanks for all the advice.

im not on a strict diet and i doubt i will ever take any supplements. i dont see it as real muscle and strength.

but everyday my diet is at least:

breakfast: cereal and milk/yogurt and some days toast with penut butter.

[LUCAS]

whoops my bad um where was i...

lunch: pasta/filled roll/ samwiches (im still at school obviously).

after school/ preworkout/: lite cheese and cracker etc

dinner: red meat (most nights), vegetables

[LUCAS]

oh far out stupid computer.....

after workout: milkshake with 2 eggs, milk, yogurt, flavour etc.

dinner: red meat, vegetables, pasta

other food: lite cheese and crakers and/or fruit.

as i said i dont take supplements but i am trying this natural powder that has about 20g of protein per serve that i put in my milkshakes sometimes for an extra boost.

thanks...

[LUCAS]

and im not lifting huge weights and most of my team goes to the gym.

[Ordy]

You need more protein in your diet. Meat, eggs, or a protein powder. Your 20g thing is probably a protein powder anyway?

[LUCAS]

it is sort of but its not a proper supplement its just a general wellbeing thing.

[Buzzard]

natural powder

I only use un-natural protein powder.

Protein isn't going to kill him, it's a food supplement.

Too much protein can stuff up your kidney if your body is not using up the protein for energy or building tissue. Flushing out the wasted protein puts all of stress on the kidney. Train hard and keep water intake high 3L - 4L per day and you should be okay.

Myth!

The high protein kidney damage line isn't valid, unless you have a pre-existing renal disorder.

Well answer the question then, why do you propose rose be banned? and even if you dont agree with her posts, why should that be a reason for her banning? as far as posting productive stuff, not many are as informative, or helpful as miss rose...

[LUCAS]

yeah why dont you start a new topic in general chitchat not here where im trying to get some answers... please

[Roidzilla]

:grin:

dude, your original post about your postworkout shake, thats a heap of protein!! the general concensus is that you want protein digested as soon as possible after training, and whey is the best. most people have whey in water - though some argue with milk.

typically most peeps go for 40-50grams postworkout protein, in a food source that will digest fast. example - a meal of chicken after your train wont actually give your body protein until a few hours after digesting, and you wanna resupply your blood levels of aminos asap post-train.

wheras whey and water will be absorbed in say 1/2 hour. So if budget allows bro, get some whey man. your body will love you for it...

[Beef]

yeah i would say go for some whey protein but only if you can afford it .. it's pretty expensive but its up to you!
