what's the problem with whey protein???

[ascendant]

well, after posting my diet in the diet forums, fixing it up and posting it again, i've realized some people seem to discourage whey protein intake??? this baffles me as whey protein breaks down into the most complete amino acid profile of all proteins?

i know whey protein is digested fairly quickly, but it's not like carbs where there's a concern for storage. once broken down into amino's, they'll float around for quite some time before being stored, unless of course you're taking in an extreme excess of protein in your diet.

anyway, just wondering why it is that many people don't seem to be too keen on supplementing diets with whey protein?

persoanlly i find that it gives me more bloodsugar crashes(though maybe its just the amount of tryptphan getting to me), and i stay leaner on food or egg protein.
Whey does cause insulin spikes so if taken in excess, some fat storgae is possible. It took me awhile to realize this, and i little while longer to belive it. Persoanlly i use way in the am and post workout. These are times when the body is really starved for nutrients and insulin sensitivity is up. Though, a whey shake in the morning will still cause a big insulin spike since spikes are bigger from your first meal. However, this is not really a big deal since insulin sensitivity is up also as i said before.
For regular meals its okay in a pinch, but i'd try to stick to real food as much as possible. Eggs and egg protein are right up their in BV rating with whey but have slower release time. I eat eggs at least 4-6 times a day, and i have egg pretien powder around incase of emergency.
