What is the protein supplement for?
Post-Workout: Whey protein isolate should be the only protein source in the product. It digests very quickly and gets to work right away.
- Men: 40g following a workout to help increase your body's recovery ability. 60g simple carbs to stop muscle breakdown and restore blood sugar and muscle glycogen. An hour later, eat a good quality small meal.
- Women: 20g following a workout, 40g simple carbs. Same reasons as above just in a smaller dose as typically women weigh less than men.
A good product to try is: Allmax Nutrition IsoFLEX (only whey protein isolate). Good flavour.
First Thing In The Morning: Find a product with whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and mix with milk. This will slow the digestion slightly to allow for a longer release of amino acids into your body and still has the whey protein isolate to get to work after a long nights fasting. Two scoops for men, one scoop for women in milk or soy milk.
A good product to try is: Dymatize Elite Whey (isolate and concentrate). Great flavour.
Rest Of The Day And Night Snacking: You want a long releasing protein that takes time to digest to keep blood sugar stable and stop you from snacking and being hungry. Add some fibre to help fill you up more.
A fantastic product to try is: BSN Lean Dessert and BSN Syntha 6. Amazing flavour.
You really do get what you pay for, so don't be afraid to try the expensive brands over the cheap brands. There is a huge difference in taste, but find a flavour you like and stick with it. If it does not taste good, you won't use it for long!
