Protein shakes are great for me so I don’t eat a gallon of ice cream at night 😅

Underrated comment

Felt this one. Cookies and Creme ice cream tastes awfully good after a hard workout😞

Yes so true 👍 👍 same here but with captain crunch.

Hmmmm ice cream…. *homer drools noises* 🤤

[@RossFilmsVHS]

I think the question was more so asking whether or not protein shakes do damage, such as liver and kidney damage, in the long term as apposed to if they make you gain weight or not.

[@timhughes3684]

they went on a tangent 😂

[@MrKinghuman]

Clearly they would have mentioned negatives if they caused any damage. It's a tool to meet protein requirements to build muscles

[@RossFilmsVHS]

@@MrKinghuman oh I'm aware of that. In healthy adults there's no evidence to suggest it causes problems. Should've been at least mentioned though

Protein powder and eggs are the cheapest sources of protein. I'm poor. I don't know how else to get 200+ grams of protein while staying in budget. I don't even hit my target.

yessir eggs are the go to but its somtimes hard to have your main protein source from eggs all the time aswell with the yolk being not the healthiest and the whites being boring so in my eyes protein shakes are the holy grail

That whole one gram per pound you weigh is bullshit. Just protein companies trying to make more money.

I drink 2 a day. Along with healthy foods just to get all my protien

[@JDAfrica]

Same - I do Min of 2, often 3 and sometimes 4. Whey isolates with almost no fat or sugar/carbs in day. And a micaller casein protein before bed. I only ever eat 1 meal in late afternoon - maybe a burger or pasta. And have tried to eat eggs in the morning.

[@Jeffthedude15]

The real question is how it affects the kidneys

[@sonja4164]

They completely missed that

[@salmanshah3846]

They don't ..

[@makedreamsareality3634]

Exactly the answer I was looking for. I’ve heard it does impact the kidneys which is not good at all.

[@JDAfrica]

@@makedreamsareality3634 a good whey protein isolate is bioavailable and in the muscles within 25mins… as I understand, it doesn’t even reach the kidneys and liver to be broken down - so theoretically, doesn’t cause any load on organs for breakdown. Standard food proteins need between 4-6 hours to breakdown, enzymes in gut, filtering toxins via liver and kidneys etc…

[@richardmiddleton7770]

Whey protein on it's own is ok if you're stuck for natural sources. The problem is all the other crap and sweeteners that are in most of them. I firmly believe that if you eat clean natural protein (eggs, fish, red meat etc.), you actually need less of it because the body can use it better and it's much more nutrient dense. Building muscle is so much more than just getting enough protein per day.

[@rampagesmackssons508]

The whole point is to supplement

[@ChrisWolfe31]

I just sat down at my desk with my morning protein smoothie, open up KZbin and this video pops up lol

[@alejandrocastillo8883]

Yea they gave a good answer not sure what the complaining is about lol only time theyre not good for you from what ive gathered is if you have a high protein diet lets say 250 grams of protein and you use a 50g of protein shake to hit your goal, and you find out you have unhealthy kidneys. At that point its not really the shake mainly its your kidney so cutting back protein in general would help. Most people dont want to cut out food so the shake would go. Hope that kinda makes sense to yall.

[@limitisillusion7]

I weigh 195 lbs. and aim for 170 grams of protein. 80 grams of that comes from shakes, I don't know what that is in scoops. I'm virtually vegetarian receipt for fried chicken, so it's hard to get that much protein from plant sources. Shakes are also a better protein source than plants.

[@timmian85]

I just take a shake after the gym. I work out directly after work, so if i made dinner directly after - that would make me sit down, and that would make it extremely hard to get up again. So the shake just allows me to remain on my feet for an extra 45 minutes and do all the shit i need to do before crashing on the couch.

[@shownoregret9957]

I find it really hard to hit my protein without overdoing fats. A shake helps me a lot with that. I eat an amount eggs and meats daily that will hit my fats then a shake to hit my protein if I need to.

[@angrytater2456]

Same.

[@ImTheBlade65]

Better off with a slice of whole grain bread, some tuna, or peanut butter, glass of milk or water. Or skip the bread and scoop it up with some celery! Use your imagination and you’ll have fun and get better results. Definitely, Whole Foods rock!

Whey and casein are awesome ways to increase total protein intake with minimal caloric impact. Not super important in most cases but when cutting, they are awesome tools.

[@albertoeng6255]

I work out in the morning and often I don't have time to throw a breakfast so protein shakes works great for me in that matter.

[@jayyyp30]

when your trying to hit over 150 grams of protein, and your on the go, getting all of it from real foods is a bit tough. Not mentioned how easy it is to mix in some fruits in there, so in my opinion there is zero wrong with a daily shake

[@haggon4049]

@Nickolas Suarez are u everyone? Different people different lifestyle different conditions.

What are some good protein shakes to buy? So many choices, so confused. Most people at my gym have recommended ON Gold Standard 100% whey but even that is only 75% protein.

[@nicholasrizzo6170]

I literally just bought ON Gold Standard 100% whey and it seems pretty good, tastes good but if you have trouble with whey/dairy i’d recommend Orgain pea protein powder. I used it for over a year and I loved it. I personally can’t say too much about the different amino acids and their benefits but those are two brands i like. Also Progenex is insanely tasty if you have the money for it

[@SomeBodyIUsedToKnow8]

Optimum Nutrition is 21g of protein, a tin of tuna (tuna steak in water) is 28g of protein

[@JohnDoe-ut6tz]

But the tin of tuna allegedly has “mercury” so either way your screwed.

[@roebuckmckinney]

Well, it’s a big tub of powder. You can have more than a scoop if you need more than a scoop. And you can mix it with other things that also include protein, like milk, and maybe some cold brew to perk you up and keep you going until lunchtime. Also it doesn’t smell like a shark farted in the company break room, which your coworkers will appreciate. Nobody at your job gives a shit what your biceps measure, but they will fucking hate you if you stink up the whole joint while they’re getting their one break for the day. Tuna is amazing. It just isn’t the answer for every nutrition problem.

[@VwapTrader]

I honestly only drink protein shakes when I have a chocolate or general sugar craving. It fixes that right up for Me.

[@Midazolamb]

Protein shakes are unregulated so we don’t know what is in them. New studies have come out showing many are in fact loaded with harmful chemicals. Protein supplementation can also be extremely hard on the kidneys! As a stage 3 kidney disease patient I’ve been instructed not to eat protein! I’ve obviously refused this advice but protein powder is out of the equation now. It’s way too potent and not readily absorbed like people say. Natural is way better and more easily recognized by the body. One shake a day wasn’t associated w any issues but 2+ shakes a day can cause problems.
