Question #1: whey protein help?
hav som questions about whey protein. Whats the
best kind, that isnt fattening and is not whey
concentrate!!! and if 2 take it in the moring and
night? or after u work out? ETC.. THANK YOU
Answer: Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino
acids arranged in a linear chain and joined
together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and
amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The
sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by
a gene and encoded in the genetic code. Although
this genetic code specifies 20
"standard" amino acids, the residues in
a protein are often chemically altered in
post-translational modification: either before the
protein can function in the cell, or as part of
control mechanisms. Proteins can also work
together to achieve a particular function, and
they often associate to form stable complexes.Like
other biological macromolecules such as
polysaccharides and nucleic acids, proteins are
essential parts of organisms and participate in
every process within cells. Many proteins are
enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, and
are vital to metabolism. Proteins also have
structural or mechanical functions, such as actin
and myosin in muscle, and the proteins in the
cytoskeleton, which forms a system of scaffolding
that maintains cell shape. Other proteins are
important in cell signaling, immune responses,
cell adhesion, and the cell cycle. Protein is also
necessary in animals' diets, since they cannot
synthesise all the amino acids and must obtain
essential amino acids from food. Through the
process of digestion, animals break down ingested
protein into free amino acids that are then used
in metabolism.The word protein comes from the
Greek πρώτα ("prota"), meaning
"of primary importance" and these
molecules were first described and named by the
Swedish chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1838.
However, proteins' central role in living
organisms was not fully appreciated until 1926,
when James B. Sumner showed that the enzyme urease
was a protein.[1] The first protein to be
sequenced was insulin, by Frederick Sanger, who
won the Nobel Prize for this achievement in 1958.
The first protein structures to be solved included
hemoglobin and myoglobin, by Max Perutz and Sir
John Cowdery Kendrew, respectively, in 1958.[2][3]
Both proteins' three-dimensional structures were
first determined by x-ray diffraction analysis;
the structures of myoglobin and hemoglobin won the
1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their
discoverers.

Question #3: Whey Protein?
I recently just bought a jug of whey protein. It
says to mix one scoop of whey with a glass of
water or milk three times a day. I was wondering,
will the whey protein still help to bulk you up
even if you aren't lifting. Like if you were to
take it in the morning and afternoon even if you
didn't lift until late night?
Answer: Better not to take it late at night. It's like a
replacement. This is to built your muscles and
strengh. If you work out, it help you, if you
dont't it might make you get heavier. Just like,
let's say : meat, where you find protein.

Question #8: Whey protein?
What is it really intended for? And if taken,
does it add any weight? Like if you are trying to
lose weight and also weight lifting, would it be
a bad idea to take it?
Answer: Whey protein is intended to be a very fast
absorbing source of protein in order to increase
muscle mass. The primary use is to take it right
after your weight lifting session.If you are
trying to burn fat at the same time, I think I
would do your weight lifting first thing in the
morning, followed by a serving of whey protein as
soon as you do your last set, followed by a 2nd
serving 1/2 hour later, followed by a meat and
vegetable meal 1.5 hours later, followed by
another meat and vegetable meal 3 hours after
that. And eat a bit of protein every 3 hours.
Late in the day go for a run for at least 18
minutes and don't anything high in carbs before
bedtime.Gaining muscle and losing fat at the same
time can be tricky and you have to balance the
carb and total calories carefully.

Question #9: Whey protein question... Any help will be appreciated?
I am a 15 year old guy, who just bought a pouch of
whey protein for $4. But I have a couple
questions...1. It has 60g of protein but says it
is for ONE shake, any way i could divide this up
into 2-3 drinks? (Its kind of expensive)2. Is it
bad if I dont use it consistently? If I have one
every other day for the next week then dont use it
again for awhile is that bad?3. How should I
divide it up? It says pour into glass w 12 oz of
cold water... how much water should i put in if i
only use 1/2 or 1/3ANY HELP!? Thanks Brian
Answer: Umm...Being 15 your body cant handle 60 grams in
one serving. It can handle about 30. Buy a jar of
it the packets are a waste they take too much
screwing around to measure out. Also the part you
dont want to hear...You are only 15 and your body
hasnt fully gone through puberty yet so dont
expect to get huge off of anything....And try and
use it consistently if you take it.

Question #10: Whey Protein?
Hello,I tried searching for an answer for my
question but after sifting through 9 pages of Whey
protein questions I decided to ask my own. So this
is not the first time I have taken Whey Protein,
its just that I started to lift weights again and
I wanted to do it smart this time. My last
rotation of working out just included drink Whey
before and after my workouts but I was curious, am
I supposed to drink Whey during the resting days
between my workouts? and just hypoteicaly , if I
was not able to work out for about a month due to
work, should I still be taking Whey?
Answer: There is a 40 minute window of opportunity
starting about 10 min after you drop the weights
when you want to ingest 20 g of fast digesting
protein and 40 to 80 grams of carbs, depending on
how much carb you burned during your workout.Using
whey protein outside this window will tend to
contribute more towards building fat than muscle,
because it will leave your stomach quickly and you
will be immediately hungry again.When you're not
working out, you still need protein, but not the
kind of blast that the protein powders give you.
My diet is 20% protein, 30% fat, 50% carb. You can
get this protein from just about any good protein
source: meat, fish, egg whites, milk, even
legumes.
