Some people here even say you shouldn't consume it at all?

Discuss...

I too wonder this at times.....

I guess eating "real food" is more hardcore......?

I don't really notice a difference except for the fact that it tends to make me extremely thirsty, and causes my face to break out.

Some guys don't like to spend money on anything.

I've got half a jug of Optimum 100% Whey just sitting there gathering dust.

For me it is SAVING money. I save tons of cash doing 50/50 protein shakes/meals. I would go broke if I had to spend cash on 5 to 6 meals a day; every now and then I will do it but pretty rare...never mind the convenience...

1. I don't trust the source. Did it come from China? Is there really 30g of complete amino protein per serving? What assurance do I have that what the label says about the contents is true? When I microwave egg whites containing 100g of protein, there's no mistaking that they are egg whites.

2. If I'm dieting I want all the solid meals I can get. I don't understand why people use liquid nutrition when dieting.

3. I like to cook. I like to eat. Don't really enjoy swilling powder shakes.

If the quality of the whey isn't in question then there's nothing wrong with it. Although it's nutritionally sparse compared to proper food (but a good source of glutathione), it's convenient and an acceptable source of protein when used to supplement a balanced diet. I just haven't bothered with it for awhile now.

There is a contradiction in BBing protein theory.

"Take more protein and avoid the processed one"

However, the protein powder(Really processed) is ok.

You get good results Kyomu and you are a proponent of a high protein diet. Can you give us some thoughts on your protein theory? What do you mean 'avoid the processed' protein?

I think if one has the time and the means to eat a lb of meat every three hours more power to them. I know I made the best gains of my life doing that but sometimes you have to work with what's available and convienent.
