Yes: Whey protein is very good if you are engaged in a strength training program. I would consult a personal trainer for a program and to calculate how and when to use the whey protein. Here is an online trainer that I use personally: www.jameskearnsfitness.com

Whey protein is fine: It's a pretty clean and efficient protein source. If you exercise regularly and wish to gain muscle, shoot for one gram per pound of body weight of whey protein isolate - you don't need the carbohydrates nor fats in this supplement. And use in between meals, not as a meal replacement.
