Why don't a lot of Pro's take protein shakes?

[psychedout]

Can't be true. No one gets 300-500 grams of the good stuff ED through diet alone. Gotta have shakes, even if they do upset the stomach, GI tract, and gag reflexes...

I have eaten 400 grams of protien per day from whole food for extended periods and been fine. I cut back on the protien because I don't feel I gain any differently on that much then say 250grams.

Guys like bigandy69 eat 500grams of protein from wholefood everday from the beginning of time and till the end of time.

I have never heard of anyone experiences GI tract probelms or gag reflex problems either.

Not many people experience stomach problems either -- there is no reason why you should so long as you are consuming a large amount of fibre.

So why do loads of them say that they don't??

Why compare our diet with theirs ?

Are you a pro ?
Are you using grams of androgens every day ?

And between what they say and what they actually do.......

the only real difference between protein powders and whole foods are the different amino acids profiles and that whole protein sources have a much higher thermogenic effect. whey protein(s) contain more vitamins and minerals than both beef and poultry.

when you eat a whole food protein source like poultry or beef around 30% of those cals are oxidized in the digestion process. I'm sure you could get 70% of protein from shakes. I'm sure someone out there with a very small appetite is doing it or has done it.

Because Protein Powders are supposed to be oh so special and contain all the 22 amino acids in the right ratio's etc.....
