So why use protein supplements and not food? Well, protein powder is essentially just food in powered format. A majority of people find that it's difficult to eat enough meals every 2-3 hours in order to get their allocated amount of protein. By using a protein supplement you can count this as one of your meals especially when you add some fruits and fat oil with it.
If you have the time and can eat whole food, than do so as protein powder still doesn't contain all the vitamins and minerals of protein foods such as chicken, beef and fish. However, protein powder still is a high level protein source and do a great job when you rushed and have to get that protein.
So walk into any supplement store and you will see all sorts of brands, sizes and types or protein powder. Your best choice is to choose a milk protein or casein/whey combination. Casein/Whey is a slower absorbing protein blend than regular Whey isolate protein. When looking at the ingredients, look for whey and casein or "milk protein blend" as the top ingredients.
Having milk protein has been shown to help with muscle recovery and building as well as help with fat loss which is a fantastic combination for those wanting to change how they look. Just be sure to follow the other 10 Steps to Nutrition for Fat Loss by eating healthy fats, veggies, fruits, etc.
So use the Spartan Nutrition coupon I gave and if you didn't receive it be sure to see me. Choose your protein wisely and see the results!
