Must Read Post: Protein Facts – Everything About Protein Powders
This is kind of part two in the protein facts series, last time we discussed what is protein, protein facts, protein benefits and some interesting protein facts; these facts included how much protein you should be eating per day and how protein can help you lose weight.
If you are interested in any of those, please check out my post, . It’s an excellent and very informative post.
Today we will be talking about the supplement, protein powder. There are a few protein types, in terms of powder; so, what’s the difference? Lets get into it!
1. Whey Protein Facts
- Whey Concentrate Protein (Called whey protein)
I’d say this is by far the most popular form of protein. It’s isolated from a liquid that is a byproduct of cheese production. That being said, it does have lactose in it. It has amino acids in it such as leucine which is used for muscle mass production. It’s fast digesting a well.
It’s the most studied protein along with whey isolate and these are both the best options in my opinion.
- Whey Isolate Protein
There is an isolate version of whey protein. It is additionally processed to have more fats and carbs removed from it. This makes it so it has less calories and more protein in it per serving. If you compare whey protein powder and whey isolate protein powder nutritional facts, you’ll see the whey isolate has slightly less carbs and fats.
- Whey Hydrolysate
This is whey protein that has been additionally processed so that it digest even faster than whey protein. I don’t really get the point of it.
2. Casein Protein Nutrition Facts
It’s a slow digesting protein. It will gelatinize in your stomach due to the stomach’s acidity. I used to drink this at night to give my body a steady state of protein at night, but I honestly haven’t been doing it as of late. I’ve been getting enough protein throughout the day anyways.
3. Plant-Based Protein Nutrition Facts
Now I’ve never used any of these. These would be better to use if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or if you find yourself clenching your butt cheeks and running to the bathroom as fast as you can after drinking whey protein shakes (if you have digestion issues with whey protein).
Types of plant-based proteins might include pea, brown rice, hemp, soy or vegan blend.
The issue with brown rice, pea and hemp protein is they are deficient in some of the nine essential amino acids. Pea protein is lower in methionine and brown rice is lower in lysine.
Hemp has all the nine essential amino acids, but not as much as the other proteins. So it’s best to go either a vegan blend protein or soy protein to get all your amino acids.
4. Egg Protein Nutrition Facts
Never used this either. Use this if you want to want an animal source of protein, but can’t tolerate dairy. It’s contains all the nine essential amino acids. Just seems like overpriced protein to me, but if you know of any benefit, feel free to share.
5. Proteins that I’ve Used and am Using right now
When I first started working out, I use to use Body Fortress from Wal-Mart. It’s definitely not bad, but I wanted to find something that tasted better.
Then I jumped to Gold Standard. I’d have to say, my favorites were extreme milk chocolate, mocha and strawberry.
Then, I found MyProtein which seemed to have cheaper options. I’m all about saving money. If you sign up for their email and text, they are always sending out discount codes. I just love MyProtein in general, you can get really cheap clothing from them too.
They should totally sponsor me. Anyways, the fruity cereal protein actually tastes like fruity cereal! For their whey isolate, I’ve tried their salted caramel and strawberry which were both delicious as well.
Alright my beautiful pizza lovers, that’s all I got for today! Nice and short! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! That was all about protein facts for protein powder!!!
