The Protein Conundrum and the Answer

In my last post I talked about my protein intake and how I was lagging behind. I also talked about how hard it is to get the proper amount of protein in order to build and maintain muscle. Almost every body builder I talk to says that it is major work to get enough quality protein. That's why serious body builders eat dozens of egg whites, cans upon cans of tuna and chicken breasts at every turn. If you weigh in at 240, you need a whopping 360+ grams of protein per day. Ten chicken breasts anyone?

I have been trying to drink two protein shakes a day to get the 55 or so grams of protein out of them. Trouble is, they fill me up so much that I lose my appetite. Not good! Part of the reason is that when blended or shaken up, they get nice and creamy with lots of frothy bubbles. That can make you feel very, very full.

I decided to look for an alternative and low and behold, I found it. It is an unflavored protein powder that packs 26 grams of protein per serving. The great part is that you can add it to water, tea, juice, cereal, rice, pancakes, yogurt, you name it. It dissolves nicely and has virtually no flavor. I also don't notice it giving me that "super full" effect.

It only has 110 calories per serving, no fat, no sugars and also has

• 1404 mg of Isoleucine

• 3094 mg of Leucine

• 1430 mg of Valine

• 2.57 g of L-Glutamine
