Whey Protein

[Vince Carter]

Gonna try some of the CFM Protein Factory...good price, 2lbs @ $30 seems less than most others for an undenatured Whey.

Two of my meals are Whey protein isolate(I am lactose intolerant) and a 2-3 tbsp. of mac nut oil...

I follow a low carb diet...

I have been hearing whey protein causes insulin to raise is this true or will the fat from the oil minimize that?

Whey protein does cause insulin to rise, but the protein insulin spikes are also followed by a big glucagon spike - insulin's anti-hormone - so it's a much different reaction than eating a bowl of pasta.

Everything You Need To Know About Protein


People like to argue about fats and carbs.

However, almost everyone agrees that protein is important.

But what exactly is protein? How much protein do you really need? And does protein timing matter?

Those are just a few of the things you're about to discover in this extensive, research based protein guide.

man, this whole macro nutrients thing is uber confusing. regarding the link nelson posted, the paper suggests that anywhere b/ 70 and 120 g protein is plenty for a 160 lb person. and it cites studies to buttress this statement. but go elsewhere and you'll find 160 g recommended for a 160 lb person, with studies that'll support that amount too. and there are studies recommending higher amounts, too.
what conclusions can we draw from this? that nobody really knows nothing?
yesterday for the first time in decades i ate exactly what one study said to eat for my 170 lb needs, with adding a little mass factored in:
170 g protein
50 g fat
278 g carb
and now i'm being told that's all wrong?
maybe the only thing to do is pick a couple o numbers, stick with them and to hell with the rest. that said, it sure would be nice if we could all just get along.

I would not sweat it to much, IMO most people would do just fine at 1g protein per lb of bodyweight, just eat a good meal plan structured for your goals and train consistently.

pretty good common sense stuff. but again you can see why the common man, ie me, gets so confused. i like that aa boils it down to desired weight. but, gee, it's so ridiculous that his charts express protein needs in g / kg, when everyone in the audience only thinks in terms of g / lb and even AA switches in his talk from kg to lb like their interchangeable. just adds to the confusion, at least for pea brains like me it does. thanks for the post, tho

"170 g protein
50 g fat
278 g carb"


I probably get 45-50g fat with each meal.
