Whey?? Getting my diet in check

[STRANGE]

I am gettin my diet in check prob for the fist time. Wish i would have done this along time ago. But i read in alot of diets that it says Whey Protein. and then it will also say Protein shake in the same diet. So is there a difference between WHEY PROTEIN and PROTEIN SHAKE??

[jdh]

no, whey is the best form of protein to use when supplementing with a shake

[STRANGE]

sorry dont really understand that so whey is like a pure protein?

[jdh]

of all the protein powders available for supplementation it has the highest bioavailability (hope thats the word im looking for) which means your body uses more of it.

So when a diet says whey and protein shake they are the same thing? Just a good whey protein

whey is the fasted protein to digest and so is great for PWO

you can also get protein blends which mix whey with casein so you get a fast and slow acting pro in the same shake
