Whey too much ?

[xonic2xonic]

I get almost half my daily protein intake from whey. Is there any problem with this?

Thanks!

I get perhaps 100 grams from whey (2 shakes) and the rest from food, so it comes out to about 60/40 (food/shakes).

I see no problem with it...its better than not getting protein at all.

i try to get 180 grams of whey, 180 grams of whole food or casein/egg(like problend or mass fuel) protein a day. and i am always successful in that.

I saw a video of Greg Kovacs and he said he gets 50% of his protein from shakes.

isnt it better if those shakes contain a blend of protein instead of just whey?

Whey is very quickly digested, I'd only use it post workout or upon waking.

I get about 50-60% from shakes. Also I always use blends, except right before training I take WPI.

 

[scruples]

is it possible to slow down whey's absorption w/the addition of a TBSP of flax oil?? or is the difference negligible??

 

[rickcorso]

anyone know where to find a really cheap protein blend powder?

You can buy bulk, but I forget the name of the main place ppl here talk about.

In any even, whey is certainly not the cheapest protein source. I just find it easier to drink 5 scoop shakes (with a bit of yoghurt and skim milk.) Than the equivalent 4 tunas or chickens (in adition to the 4 I already do.)
