Every day I hear about guys doing something that is dead wrong and it's time that it was addressed.
If you're mixing whey or egg white protein in water, you might as well flush it down the toilet.
Protein can not be absorbed without the presense of fat. Without fat, most of the protein will just be converted to glucose in minutes, so that suposedly super anabolic cocktail you think you're drinking is little more than a blast of sugar.
Whey and egg whites were never meant to be ingested alone. They are by-products of a more complete protein found in nature. And it's natural to have fat present when eating protein. And if you want size, it's absurd to mix protein with skim milk. Everyone is so afraid of the "saturated fat" in whole milk. It's a myth. Saturated fat has actually been shown to improve thyroid function. Fat is not the enemy. Laziness is.
Bodybuilders need fat. And they ESPECIALLY need it when taking in protein. Start mixing protein with whole milk and you'll be amazed how much more effective it is. Even the lactose in milk is good because it's a carb of animal origin and insulogenic. It's amazing how everyone wants to know what drugs to use when the same results can be acheived with food.
And it you're bulking, use Half&Half in your protein shakes. Don't let anyone tell you "It'll make you fat". You can't grow without extra calories. Keep the junk out of your diet, take protein and fat together, and train hard. It's the only way to grow.
