Question 1

what's the best protein powder?

Accepted Answer

Whey.: Irrespective of the brand, whey protein is considered a high quality supplemental protein.  If you exercise, shoot for no more than one gram of protein (from all sources) per pound of body weight per day and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Question 2

which protein powder works the best?

Accepted Answer

That based on..: Whey protein, a milk derivative.  Plant based protein powders are not as effective. Egg protein Albumin is more expensive and less palatable!

Question 3

how much protein powder can i use in a day?

Accepted Answer

Protein requirement: Your daily protein requirement in grams is your weight in kilograms.  For example, 
50 gm  (grams) if you weigh 50 kilos. Spend your money more wisely by buying natural or organic foods rich in protein rather than protein powder which is more expensive.

Question 4

what is a safe protein powder for 14 y/olds?

Accepted Answer

Beef, fish, chicken: Unless there are reasons that a regular diet is not sufficient to provide nutrition to a youngster, protein powders are not needed. The appetite of a normal teen should allow the intake of adequate protein. If high protein is needed suggest eating high protein foods. The protein powders hold no special advantage to growth or health.

Question 5

what type of protein powder should someone buy?

Accepted Answer

Save your money: If you follow a typical western diet, it is unlikely that you require supplemental protein. Even in those individuals who are training to support athletic training, the typical western diet provides enough protein to support your metabolic processes.

Question 6

will i need protein powder and recovery for p90x?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Protein powder is not required for rigorous exercise.  With PX90, exertion can be substantial but you will not break down muscle as you would  with heavy weight lifting and anaerobic exercise.

Question 7

could protein powder change behaviour in the people?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: If there are behavior change, see your provider for complete exam and lab workup to rule out other medical conditions.

Question 8

i there is any disadvantage of having protein powder?

Accepted Answer

Protein powder: If you have kidney or liver disease a high protein diet can worsen your condition.

Question 9

is it good to give teen athletes some protein powder?

Accepted Answer

It is fine: It is safe to give a teen protein powder. The question is whether it is necessary. The typical western diet provides more than enough protein to support the muscle building efforts of a teenager. The extra protein from the powder is just extra. It is extra calories, calories that are expensive & devoid of any other nutritional content. My suggestion is stick to whole foods.

Question 10

can a gym going boy of 17.6 old, take protein powder ?

Accepted Answer

: Can or should? If you have a well-balanced diet, I find the use of such supplements a waste of money. A smoothie made of egg whites is a simple home-made supplement that has as much value as most expensive powders. You can take it at that age if you wish. Much of the content that is not needed is converted to stored carbs or fat.
