Protein Powder Rules: Part 1 : Know when to eat your protein and when to drink it.
Without a doubt, the best protein you can get comes from meat - poultry, seafood, beef - eggs and dairy products. That may be a funny thing to say in an article about protein powder, but it’s true for good reason. The most basic explanation is that our bodies are built to extract protein from whole food animal sources, which remain the most natural and best way for us to get the nine essential amino acids that our bodies can’t produce.
Yet there are times when whole foods aren’t the best option for protein, such as: first thing in the morning. (Rule #5 coming soon), before workouts (Rule #7 coming soon), after workouts (Rule #9 coming soon), some between-meal snacks (Rule #10 coming soon) and before bed (Rule #8 coming soon). Still, the majority of the meals you eat each day should consist of whole-food proteins.
