What's up with you lot!? Are you sipping the stuff out of champagne flutes with your little pinky extended?
Just down the stuff in one, takes less than ten seconds.
Just saying.
When you're in a calorie deficit protein shakes are something to look forward to and savour! Unless of course they taste like this recent sJust down the stuff in one, takes less than ten seconds.

t from Bulk Powders which tastes like a whole pack of Hermesetas blended with a shoe box, and which then leaves an aftertaste like an ounce of salt and hairspray.

I'm attempting a deficit and I'm fine with unflavoured. its slightly more bang for your buck in terms of protein. t from Bulk Powders which tastes like a whole pack of Hermesetas blended with a shoe box, and which then leaves an aftertaste like an ounce of salt and hairspray.Willy Nilly said:

How is drinking whey not eating 'properly?'te do that eating properly doesn't? A fundamental, good diet is the starting place for anyone training / an athlete. When undertaking an activity that literally tears lots of muscle, the protein intake of a balanced diet may not be sufficient. At least not without skewing the diet too much. This is more pertinent when weight training as you're deliberately tearing lots of muscle fibres make them grow back bigger. This requires quite a lot of protein to repair.
There are also the practical advantages. If you were to do a big weights session at the gym, it's that convenient to eat meat / fish etc which will provide the same quantity of protein immediately after. Plus the surface area of water / whey (milk / whey takes longer) is greater (and more broken down than 'food') so will be absorbed quicker.
The supplement industry is huge and people need to be critical as to what'll actually add value to their diet.

You have complex carbs that are better than refined food, is it the same with protein?
Proteins are broken down to amino acids. There are essential ones and non-essential ones. Essential ones are ones which our body cannot synthesise itself, where as with non-essential ones it can (clever liver). There are some ones weight-lifters want to focus on called Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) as these are the ones used for energy for exercise and need replacing.
The question is, is there a difference in the quality of amino acids? Say obtaining the same ones from beef as a protein shake?
From what I can recall the answer is no. But it's a while since I really looked at this sort of thing so it may be worth some Googling.

Is a piece of chicken a balanced diet? Whey protein isn't trying to be a balanced diet, it is a protein source, much like meat.La Liga said:

There is no difference in the quality of amino acids, but there is a difference in the quality of a protein. Whey is actually one of the better proteins in this respect - there's a list here of various proteins and how their amino acid profile fits human requirements. Milk and egg proteins are at the top, hence their popularity with bodybuilders. Price is also a factor; whey and eggs are a cheaper way to obtain protein compared to meat.The question is, is there a difference in the quality of amino acids?
