Protein Misconceptions

For all of those who STILL want to complain and whine about 2Thick,

Stop whining people- 2Thick did what he did in an attempt to keep things civil on this board.

If anything, far TOO much whining and drama are tolerated.

If any of you have:

- as much "gear" experience,
- as much lifing experince,
- have spent as much time on this board as 2thickhas
- have spent as much time being a Mod and being responsible as he has
... then kindly put together a letter to George and nominate yourself for Mod-ship.

Until then, get over it.

(Bunch of whining school kids.)


Drama, drama, and more fucking drama, and once again - where did it all start? Regardless of right or wrong, who did what, who said what, who did what first, when this person said that and when that person said whatever (this sounds like a damned playground), regardless of any of that crap - who was a party that was involved? Nelson.

No one's expertise is worth this much Drama. I hope, I sincerely hope, that Nelson is making George a goddamned boatload of money, because that the only reason we should have to put up with this (and I mean that, I do hope its worthwhile for George).

And please SPARE ME THE DETAILS as to what happened - I don't care. The bottom line is that 90% of the time we see drama and all of this bullshit lately, its because somehow, someway, Nelson is involved.

This is like watching fucking 90210 and Nelson plays the part of "Brenda". LOL

I would love to see and get the benefit of his knowledge, but nothing is worth THIS MUCH DRAMA.
 
Okay anyway, moving back to the topic at hand.

2Thick, why do you think protein shakes are inferior to food?

My reasons would be that they wouldn't be digested as well and don't contain the necessary vitamins. Do you agree?

Technically speaking, your body should treat the shakes and bars the same as protein from food, but the big difference is that food has many other essential and non-essential nutrients including fiber, water, vitamins and minerals.

Also, real food contains co-enzymes that help break down food and absorb the nutrients at a higher rate.

Protein shakes are digested faster than protein from foods...it's just the micronutrient density is not very high in protein shakes...at least not in comparison to whole foods.

Not quite correct. Read my reply above, grasshopper.

Not correct about the speed of digestion? Wouldn't your body have an easier time digesting protein from protein shakes because they're micronized...making the molecules smaller and more easily absorbed? Of course, it will all be absorbed in the end, but I just figured it would be faster when drinking a protein shake...and that's why shakes are better after workouts, because it will get into the bloodstream quicker. Right?

You are correct about faster breakdown, but the speed of absorbtion depends on other factors.
