Beef Protein Powder

[O-town Beef]

Like most of us, I use Whey daily, and Casein at night.
I was thinking of throwing Beef powder in the mix, but it seems a lot more expensive than whey.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Have you used it and if so is it of value.
Thank you

Non kerotonized protein (raw egg...powdered protien...etc) has an EXTREMELY reduced absorption rate by the body as compared to karotinized protein (cooked egg white).

Is there a reason you do powder vs eggs? Since Austin put me onto that dietary cholesterol does not impact your cholesterol reading I just wonder why spend so much for this powder? 50 bucks will buy you 40+ dozen of eggs. Is it a time thing? A "I cannot do/ afford my diet good enough so I take this instead" thing? I do not understand it and have been reading trying to get a handle on it.

I am leaning toward it is a "everyone else does it" thing.

I wonder what would happen to all the protein shake drinkers if Arnold came out and said it was dumb like he did about workout gloves. Man after he said that the gym was open hands only from there on out.

hey thanks for the reply. I use the powder to suppliment while at work and post workout.I
I try t0 eat 6-8 eggs ed, along with tuna, chicken, nuts and some beef, varying the sources daily.
Do you not use any powder to supplement? And even Arnold took 2 shakes a day so he says.

Somewhere in the range of 35-50%[/b] of raw egg protein is malabsorbed. Basically this means that you get a significantly higher digestibility of egg protein when you cook the eggs.

The study that usually gets quoted for the proposition that almost 50% of raw egg protein is malabsorbed involved ileostomy subjects. Assuming that you are a healthy individual, it is probably more appropriate to look at a study that involved healthy subjects. Such a study was done in 1999 that investigated the amount of dietary protein escaping digestion and absorption of healthy individuals and it found that about 35% of raw egg protein escaped digestion and absorption, whereas about 6% of cooked egg protein was malabsorbed.

The following graphic demonstrates this concept:

[O-town Beef]

Lol point taken guys...shakes are the easy way out I guess.I will get off my ass and do some cooking.
as always, much appreciated.

[Times Roman]

common beef is probably THE most expensive protein source

Excepting
Abalone
Some fish
Buffalo/Bison


Beef protein powder would probably be 4x as expensive as whey...
...I don't see the point?

[O-town Beef]

Ive never used it, just wondered if it was worthwhile.

[Times Roman]

it doesn't make any economic sense

If its convenience you are looking for and want beef then buy beef jerky.

A good whey isolate and some eggs are what I live on right now for my protein needs.
