Is 100% Whey Protein a Good or Bad Buy?
There are different kinds of protein supplements, 100% whey is the most common. If you are talking about the specific brand of protein from Optimum Nutrition, then it is very good for its price, I take it. It is good for after a workout because it “metabolizes” the quickest, getting to your muscles right away. Be advised, protein powder is intended to be a supplement, not a major source of daily protein intake. This is not magic powder. If your diet and training is spot on then this supplement will surely help. If they aren’t, don’t expect too much from this supplement. If you stop taking this you won’t lose mass if it only ——supplemented——your daily protein intake. It is not damaging to your body, after all it is just protein, an essential macro-nutrient, and you will only gain significant mass by taking in excess amount of protein. I recommend it.
