Many guys ask about protein and wonder what protein is best to take. There is no magical protein to speak of but the information below can hopefully help clear up some of your questions. Generally here are how the proteins are ranked.
1.WHEY PROTEIN-
- Considered to be the highest quality natural protein
- Highly digestible
- Absorbs quickly into the body making it a great post workout choice
- One of two types of protein that comes from milk
2.EGG PROTEIN
- Releases slower than whey which makes it ideal for use throughout the day
3. CASEIN PROTEIN
- Is a milk protein that makes up about 80 % of the protein in whole milk
- Is slow digesting like egg protein making it ideal for use throughout the day
- Has rich quantities of glutamine and other amino acids
4. BEEF PROTEIN
- Slow releasing proteins
- High in iron and B-vitamins
5. SOY PROTEINS
- Mixed reviews on benefits for building muscle
- It is an incomplete protein making it not ideal to consume on its own
Final verdict............I would go with whey as your main source especially post workout. If you are making your shakes with milk you will also be getting casein as well, so skip the water and go for the milk!
