Whey Protein

Archive for the ‘Whey protein Powder’ Category

I just bought ON 100% Whey Protein yesterday. The label says to take "one scoop" per serving. I’m not sure how much exactly one scoop is. The jar didn’t include a scoop either. I dug deep into the jar and even poured out all the powder. Still nothing. I would highly appreciate if I can get some reasonable answers. Thank you.
Thanks. But what would that one scoop be equal to? How many tablespoons/teaspoons?

If you are using a tablespoon, use two tablespoons:) Also, make sure you are consuming a high quality chemical free whey protein minus the fillers and additives.

I weigh 230lbs, and am starting to take some whey protein drink to help built muscles and lose weight. How much should I consume daily?

Most people in the fitness community will tell you to consume between 1/2 to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body mass (your weight minus your fat) per day. I average about 3/4 and I train almost daily. If you’re body building (and it doesn’t sound like you are), some people take as much as 2g/lb per day.

For an after-workout shake, I’d recommend 25–40 grams. I usually take about 30 grams. My lean body mass is about 150 lbs.

By the way, I recommend you check out the Zone Diet, which I have found to be very effective at building muscle and losing fat when coupled with regular exercise.

So I mix protein powder with some soy milk, and pour it in a bottle. I’ll have to drink it after practice, which will make it about 5 hours unrefrigerated. Will it spoil?

5 hours unrefrigerated should not be a problem. I used to carry it in a "Tupperware" tumbler – pack it at 8 a.m. in the morning and drink it around 1 p.m. It was not refrigerated. It does taste good. Beyond 6 hours, I have my own doubts. It could get spoiled.
