Workout sessions just hit differently when you’ve taken a supplement before starting. Thanks to their combination of caffeine and creatine, supplements improve your endurance, energy, and focus while exercising. 

Considering how many pre-workouts are on the market, you have your choice of consuming them via capsules, powders, liquids, or bars. The most popular option is probably powder as most people add it to a smoothie or use water to make it into a drink.

Unfortunately, there are always a few to remind us why we can’t have nice things.

A new trend has emerged that involves people swallowing the supplement in powder form. 

Although it seems like a quick and easy way to take your pre-workout (especially if you don’t have water at hand), but the risks are actually rather dangerous. 

With dry-scooping, as it is known, there is the possibility of inhaling the powder which can then affect your breathing, cause choking, and result in the supplement entering your lungs.

Downing the powder in its original form also has the potential to induce a caffeine overdose. According to the National Capital Poison Center, a caffeine overdose caused by dry-scooping led to a healthy 20-year-old woman having a mild heart attack. 

Studies have also shown that dry-scooping doesn’t actually improve performance, as some devotees of the method claim.

So, rather scoop your supplement into a smoothie. It tastes better anyway.

Protein is an essential nutrient that will benefit everyone. It helps promote bone health and muscle growth and balance blood sugar levels. One of the best ways to get protein is with protein shakes. Here are our top three favorite protein drinks that are suitable for anyone. 

Fairlife Core Power 

This dairy-based protein shake is a perfect one on the go—it’s small with under 200 calories. Their two most popular flavors are chocolate and vanilla—we love vanilla.

Pro20

Pro20 is an excellent protein drink to include in your diet. It’s incredibly high in protein and comes in multiple flavors. This brand also sells yogurt that is equally as tasty as the drinks. While they might not be protein shakes, they’re still delicious and extremely easy to have on the go. 

Essential Elements 

Essential Elements Very Vanilla protein powder is a highly recommended plant-based protein powder. While it is not a ready-made shake, you need to add water to a cup of powder, with roughly 15 grams of protein in one scoop. The powder comes in a blend of flavors, such as; yellow pea brown rice, pumpkin seed, and more.

If you’re training regularly and want to increase your muscle mass or recovery, or if you have a deficit of protein in your diet, you may be considering using protein powder to supplement your diet. Protein shakes can be a useful tool in fitness and nutrition, but there are a few different kinds that might suit different dietary needs.

Dairy Protein Powder

Dairy-based protein powders are made from compounds found in milk. These include whey protein and casein protein. Whey protein powder is the most common kind and is widely available in stores. It’s got most of the proteins you need, is very water-soluble, and it’s digested quickly and effectively. Casein protein powder, on the other hand is digested more slowly so it will give you energy for longer or is good for recovering from a workout overnight.

Egg Protein Powder

Egg white protein powder is a good option for those who don’t eat dairy. It as well as other animal-product protein powders provides less complete proteins but it can still be beneficial. It’s best to do some extra research before deciding on a powder in this category.

Plant Proteins

There are a large number of plants from which protein powders are made such as soy, brown rice, and hemp, and these have the benefit of being vegan. However, the proteins in them are less complete and they may be supplemented with each other. They also often have other nutrients in addition to protein since they come from healthy whole grains and legumes.

While it’s quite easy for the average person to get enough protein in their diet without the need to count macronutrients, you may benefit from drinking protein shakes if you’re someone who works out a lot. Getting enough protein in a plant-based diet doesn’t have to be difficult either, though it can be more tricky when it comes to protein powders. Many vegan powders have chalky consistency or are made with artificial flavors that leave a bad aftertaste, but there are few that we’ve found are really delicious. Here are our faves:

Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal

GOL’s vegan protein powder contains 20 grams of protein as well as probiotics to support gut health. It’s certified organic and available in chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Aloha Organic Protein Powder

We’re big fans of all of this brand’s drinks and snacks, but their protein powder is definitely one of our favorites. It’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and monk fruit and even contains fiber to help keep you full.

KOS Organic Plant Protein

KOS’s vegan protein powder is a great choice for anyone in search of a soy-free option. It’s available in super fun flavors like blueberry muffin, chocolate chip mint, and salted caramel coffee.

When you’re training and working out hard it’s important that your body gets all the protein it needs. Protein helps build and maintain muscle, heal wounds, and provides valuable energy. But it’s not always obvious how you can optimize your protein intake for muscle growth. Here are four top tips.

High Protein Foods

The best advice for getting sufficient protein is to eat lots of high protein foods. High protein animal products include eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. For plant-based, you can have lentils, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, oats, almonds, chickpeas, or quinoa.

butternut S Q U A S H stir fry with jammy eggs 🥰 [#ad] One of my favourite quick weeknight dinners often includes some sort of stir fry. Inspired by delicious fall veggies, I made this roasted butternut squash stir fry and WOW did this ever turn out amazing. The addition of a runny yolk mixed with a salty/spicy sauce gave it the BEST flavour 🤩 I *try* to ensure all my meals include veggies, complex carbs & proteins. Whenever I’m stuck on what protein to use, I ALWAYS turn to eggs {no matter the time of day!}. They are an easy, affordable & super nutritious addition to any meal 😉 Ingredients: 1 small butternut squash 2 packs ramen noodles @lotusfoodscanada is my fav 2 eggs Green onion {optional} For the sauce: 1/4 cup tamari, 2 tbsp veg broth, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 2 garlic cloves minced, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, salt & pepper Details: • peel & chop butternut squash, toss with oil, salt & pepper; roast at 400 for 30 mins + 2 min broil • boil water in a small saucepan & add eggs; boil for 5.5 mins, remove & place into an ice bath • combine sauce ingredients • cook ramen noodles per instructions, drain & toss with sauce & squash • peel & slice eggs • divide into bowls & garnish with green onion & chili flakes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #happyandfull #EggsAnytime #eggs #dinner #dinnerideas #dinnertime #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #delicious #easyrecipes #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #dairyfree #glutenfree #realfood #wholefoods #homemade #nomnom #eeeeeats #foodporn #yolkporn #eattherainbow #eatyourveggies #nutrition #balaceddiet #recipeshare #foodspiration

Animal or Plant-Based?

Plant-based protein is better for the environment and some would say is more ethical. However, it’s not quite as good at building and maintaining muscle as protein from animal products. If you eat a plant-based diet, the best advice is variety. Eat lots of different kinds of protein-rich foods!

Protein Shakes

Protein shakes are convenient and effective. You can tailor the amounts of protein to your workouts and they are quick and easy. But they are only effective if you have been working out regularly for some weeks.

Don’t Over Do It

Protein shakes aren’t a substitute for real food. They are only a supplement for those athletes you do regular hard workouts. The body cannot digest too much protein. It’s best to stick to high priotein nutritious food.

Nowadays everyone is trying to make sure they are sticking to a balanced diet; filled with enough protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. Protein powder, once considered a sports supplement for bodybuilders is now being used by everyone. Even if you don’t go to the gym regularly, protein powder has the same health benefits as actual food protein. Protein powder is an additional meal that can be put into a shake for breakfast or after a workout. They are convenient for people on the go and they improve your muscle size and strength in those who lift weights. If you aren’t getting enough protein in your meals then the powder can add many benefits giving you additional protein throughout the day helping weight loss.

. . . Do you eat enough protein? . . . When it comes to aligning your diet with fitness goals, one aspect I see people consistently struggle with is consuming enough protein on a regular basis. . . . Of the three macronutrients (protein, fats & carbs), protein is typically the one that’s lagging behind. . . . Why is eating enough protein so important? . . . 💪 Protein is a crucial component in the muscle building and retaining process. You want muscle (if you are a woman, don’t worry, you won’t get bulky, I promise 😁) not just for the visual appeal, but for the many health/performance benefits as well. . . . Fun fact… the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn just existing, as it will improve your metabolism.. this is a nice plus! . . . 🥤 Protein is also the most filling and satiating macronutrient, which is a big positive when you are restricting your calorie intake (trying to lose body fat). Staying full for longer will keep you from sneaking back into the kitchen all the time. . . . 😅 The thermic effect of protein is a big plus.. Your body has to burn more calories to digest protein then any other macronutrients, which is definitely a great thing. . . . Here is few tips to help you eat more protein: . . . 1⃣ Protein at every meal. . . 2⃣ Choose eggs over cereal. . . 3⃣ Add some protein powder into your oats and smoothies. . . 4⃣ Incorporate Greek Yogurt in your diet. . . 5⃣ Keep easy protein snacks handy (protein shake, can of tuna, protein bar, boiled eggs…) . . 6⃣ Include more protein plant base in your diet (beans, broccoli, peas, spinach, soy ….) . . . Do you eat enough protein on daily basis? . . . #protein #proteinforfatloss #proteinpowder #proteinforvegetarians #proteinformuscles #proteinsnacks #proteinmeals #fatlosstips #weightlosstipsandtricks #nutritionfacts #nutritiontips #anytimefitnessredbankplains #blackbeltprotein @blackbelt_protein

There are various types of protein powder on the market made with different protein sources and different amino acid profiles. Make sure to buy quality protein, treat the powder like anything else you put in your body. Check the label for sugars or other unnecessary fillers and focus on whether it mixes well and tastes good. You don’t want to invest in a large packet of protein powder that you don’t enjoy.

Whole Milk/Whey Protein

Whole milk protein contains whey and casein which are very high-quality sources of protein. Whey provides a fast-digestion protein that muscles can benefit from quickly and casein can slow digestion and keep you feeling fuller for longer. This protein is good for those wanting to lose weight.

Vegan Protein

Soy protein powder contains all of the nine essential amino acids. Hemp protein has a high nutritional profile and is almost a complete protein, but it does tend to be high in fat. Pea protein should be mixed with brown rice protein as it is deficient in cysteine and methionine amino acids.

While many foods rely on flavor to be better, protein powder isn’t necessarily one of them. Of course, you can get it in many different varieties that will add taste to your meals, but sometimes going for a plain, unflavored version is the best choice. You can use it to add some much-needed protein to your shakes, oatmeals, and other food without messing up the flavors you already know and love.

Unflavored protein powder may not sound very exciting, but it’s actually a staple that should be in your pantry at all times. It doesn’t have additional flavors or sweeteners and many people prefer that. The lack of artificial sweeteners is its main advantage over the other types of protein powder. Many artificial sweeteners aren’t exactly healthy, even though they’re calorie-free. They can still cause upset stomachs or bloating and they can raise your blood sugar levels.

Another great thing about unflavored protein powder is that you can add it to savory meals as well. Given that it doesn’t taste sweet, it won’t mess up your recipes but will give them a protein boost you’ve been wanting. Just a scoop or two will make your pasta, fried chicken, and other dishes packed with protein!

You may have heard of whey protein isolate and concentrate from fitness gurus on Youtube or even Instagram. Adding protein powders to your diet is a great way to build stronger muscles and develop a stronger immune system. Also, if you’re looking to bulk up – adding whey protein isolate or concentrate to your morning regime will help give you the results that you need.

Differentiating the two is important to figuring out which kind best fits the results you want to gain.

What is Whey Isolate?

The main difference between the two is the amount of protein content each contains. Whey Isolate is the healthier approach if you’re looking for protein that’s devoid of lactose, carbs, and fat. It goes through many processes to achieve its state starting with microfiltration. In this stage casein and curd particles are removed. It goes through 2 more filtration processes before being powdered, sifted, and eventually packaged to your nearest health foods store.

What is Whey Concentrate?

Whey Protein concentrate is the part of milk that is separated from the curds when cheese undergoes its process. This unfiltered whey protein contains all the main proteins, fats, carbs, and vitamins. Whey protein is mainly for people who want to bulk up, but who don’t care about the added calories in their drink. A scoop can contain as much as 25 grams of protein which is great for a post-gym meal. Try out the chocolate and even vanilla flavors.

If you’re training regularly and want to increase your muscle mass or recovery, or if you have a deficit of protein in your diet, you may be considering using protein powder to supplement your diet. Protein shakes can be a useful tool in fitness and nutrition, but there are a few different kinds that might suit different dietary needs.

Dairy Protein Powder

Dairy-based protein powders are made from compounds found in milk. These include whey protein and casein protein. Whey protein powder is the most common kind and is widely available in stores. It’s got most of the proteins you need, is very water-soluble, and it’s digested quickly and effectively. Casein protein powder, on the other hand is digested more slowly so it will give you energy for longer or is good for recovering from a workout overnight.

Egg Protein Powder

Egg white protein powder is a good option for those who don’t eat dairy. It as well as other animal-product protein powders provides less complete proteins but it can still be beneficial. It’s best to do some extra research before deciding on a powder in this category.

Plant Proteins

There are a large number of plants from which protein powders are made such as soy, brown rice, and hemp, and these have the benefit of being vegan. However, the proteins in them are less complete and they may be supplemented with each other. They also often have other nutrients in addition to protein since they come from healthy whole grains and legumes.

While it’s quite easy for the average person to get enough protein in their diet without the need to count macronutrients, you may benefit from drinking protein shakes if you’re someone who works out a lot. Getting enough protein in a plant-based diet doesn’t have to be difficult either, though it can be more tricky when it comes to protein powders. Many vegan powders have chalky consistency or are made with artificial flavors that leave a bad aftertaste, but there are few that we’ve found are really delicious. Here are our faves:

Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal

GOL’s vegan protein powder contains 20 grams of protein as well as probiotics to support gut health. It’s certified organic and available in chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Aloha Organic Protein Powder

We’re big fans of all of this brand’s drinks and snacks, but their protein powder is definitely one of our favorites. It’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and monk fruit and even contains fiber to help keep you full.

KOS Organic Plant Protein

KOS’s vegan protein powder is a great choice for anyone in search of a soy-free option. It’s available in super fun flavors like blueberry muffin, chocolate chip mint, and salted caramel coffee.

When you’re training and working out hard it’s important that your body gets all the protein it needs. Protein helps build and maintain muscle, heal wounds, and provides valuable energy. But it’s not always obvious how you can optimize your protein intake for muscle growth. Here are four top tips.

High Protein Foods

The best advice for getting sufficient protein is to eat lots of high protein foods. High protein animal products include eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. For plant-based, you can have lentils, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, oats, almonds, chickpeas, or quinoa.

butternut S Q U A S H stir fry with jammy eggs 🥰 [#ad] One of my favourite quick weeknight dinners often includes some sort of stir fry. Inspired by delicious fall veggies, I made this roasted butternut squash stir fry and WOW did this ever turn out amazing. The addition of a runny yolk mixed with a salty/spicy sauce gave it the BEST flavour 🤩 I *try* to ensure all my meals include veggies, complex carbs & proteins. Whenever I’m stuck on what protein to use, I ALWAYS turn to eggs {no matter the time of day!}. They are an easy, affordable & super nutritious addition to any meal 😉 Ingredients: 1 small butternut squash 2 packs ramen noodles @lotusfoodscanada is my fav 2 eggs Green onion {optional} For the sauce: 1/4 cup tamari, 2 tbsp veg broth, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 2 garlic cloves minced, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, salt & pepper Details: • peel & chop butternut squash, toss with oil, salt & pepper; roast at 400 for 30 mins + 2 min broil • boil water in a small saucepan & add eggs; boil for 5.5 mins, remove & place into an ice bath • combine sauce ingredients • cook ramen noodles per instructions, drain & toss with sauce & squash • peel & slice eggs • divide into bowls & garnish with green onion & chili flakes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #happyandfull #EggsAnytime #eggs #dinner #dinnerideas #dinnertime #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #delicious #easyrecipes #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #dairyfree #glutenfree #realfood #wholefoods #homemade #nomnom #eeeeeats #foodporn #yolkporn #eattherainbow #eatyourveggies #nutrition #balaceddiet #recipeshare #foodspiration

Animal or Plant-Based?

Plant-based protein is better for the environment and some would say is more ethical. However, it’s not quite as good at building and maintaining muscle as protein from animal products. If you eat a plant-based diet, the best advice is variety. Eat lots of different kinds of protein-rich foods!

Protein Shakes

Protein shakes are convenient and effective. You can tailor the amounts of protein to your workouts and they are quick and easy. But they are only effective if you have been working out regularly for some weeks.

Don’t Over Do It

Protein shakes aren’t a substitute for real food. They are only a supplement for those athletes you do regular hard workouts. The body cannot digest too much protein. It’s best to stick to high priotein nutritious food.

Nowadays everyone is trying to make sure they are sticking to a balanced diet; filled with enough protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. Protein powder, once considered a sports supplement for bodybuilders is now being used by everyone. Even if you don’t go to the gym regularly, protein powder has the same health benefits as actual food protein. Protein powder is an additional meal that can be put into a shake for breakfast or after a workout. They are convenient for people on the go and they improve your muscle size and strength in those who lift weights. If you aren’t getting enough protein in your meals then the powder can add many benefits giving you additional protein throughout the day helping weight loss.

. . . Do you eat enough protein? . . . When it comes to aligning your diet with fitness goals, one aspect I see people consistently struggle with is consuming enough protein on a regular basis. . . . Of the three macronutrients (protein, fats & carbs), protein is typically the one that’s lagging behind. . . . Why is eating enough protein so important? . . . 💪 Protein is a crucial component in the muscle building and retaining process. You want muscle (if you are a woman, don’t worry, you won’t get bulky, I promise 😁) not just for the visual appeal, but for the many health/performance benefits as well. . . . Fun fact… the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn just existing, as it will improve your metabolism.. this is a nice plus! . . . 🥤 Protein is also the most filling and satiating macronutrient, which is a big positive when you are restricting your calorie intake (trying to lose body fat). Staying full for longer will keep you from sneaking back into the kitchen all the time. . . . 😅 The thermic effect of protein is a big plus.. Your body has to burn more calories to digest protein then any other macronutrients, which is definitely a great thing. . . . Here is few tips to help you eat more protein: . . . 1⃣ Protein at every meal. . . 2⃣ Choose eggs over cereal. . . 3⃣ Add some protein powder into your oats and smoothies. . . 4⃣ Incorporate Greek Yogurt in your diet. . . 5⃣ Keep easy protein snacks handy (protein shake, can of tuna, protein bar, boiled eggs…) . . 6⃣ Include more protein plant base in your diet (beans, broccoli, peas, spinach, soy ….) . . . Do you eat enough protein on daily basis? . . . #protein #proteinforfatloss #proteinpowder #proteinforvegetarians #proteinformuscles #proteinsnacks #proteinmeals #fatlosstips #weightlosstipsandtricks #nutritionfacts #nutritiontips #anytimefitnessredbankplains #blackbeltprotein @blackbelt_protein

There are various types of protein powder on the market made with different protein sources and different amino acid profiles. Make sure to buy quality protein, treat the powder like anything else you put in your body. Check the label for sugars or other unnecessary fillers and focus on whether it mixes well and tastes good. You don’t want to invest in a large packet of protein powder that you don’t enjoy.

Whole Milk/Whey Protein

Whole milk protein contains whey and casein which are very high-quality sources of protein. Whey provides a fast-digestion protein that muscles can benefit from quickly and casein can slow digestion and keep you feeling fuller for longer. This protein is good for those wanting to lose weight.

Vegan Protein

Soy protein powder contains all of the nine essential amino acids. Hemp protein has a high nutritional profile and is almost a complete protein, but it does tend to be high in fat. Pea protein should be mixed with brown rice protein as it is deficient in cysteine and methionine amino acids.

While many foods rely on flavor to be better, protein powder isn’t necessarily one of them. Of course, you can get it in many different varieties that will add taste to your meals, but sometimes going for a plain, unflavored version is the best choice. You can use it to add some much-needed protein to your shakes, oatmeals, and other food without messing up the flavors you already know and love.

Unflavored protein powder may not sound very exciting, but it’s actually a staple that should be in your pantry at all times. It doesn’t have additional flavors or sweeteners and many people prefer that. The lack of artificial sweeteners is its main advantage over the other types of protein powder. Many artificial sweeteners aren’t exactly healthy, even though they’re calorie-free. They can still cause upset stomachs or bloating and they can raise your blood sugar levels.

Another great thing about unflavored protein powder is that you can add it to savory meals as well. Given that it doesn’t taste sweet, it won’t mess up your recipes but will give them a protein boost you’ve been wanting. Just a scoop or two will make your pasta, fried chicken, and other dishes packed with protein!

Whey Isolate vs Whey Contrate https://yourdailysportfix.com/whey-isolate-vs-whey-contrate/ Wed, 07 Aug 2019 08:23:45 +0000 https://yourdailysportfix.com/?p=5659 You may have heard of whey protein isolate and concentrate from fitness gurus on Youtube or even Instagram.

You may have heard of whey protein isolate and concentrate from fitness gurus on Youtube or even Instagram. Adding protein powders to your diet is a great way to build stronger muscles and develop a stronger immune system. Also, if you’re looking to bulk up – adding whey protein isolate or concentrate to your morning regime will help give you the results that you need.

Differentiating the two is important to figuring out which kind best fits the results you want to gain.

What is Whey Isolate?

The main difference between the two is the amount of protein content each contains. Whey Isolate is the healthier approach if you’re looking for protein that’s devoid of lactose, carbs, and fat. It goes through many processes to achieve its state starting with microfiltration. In this stage casein and curd particles are removed. It goes through 2 more filtration processes before being powdered, sifted, and eventually packaged to your nearest health foods store.

What is Whey Concentrate?

Whey Protein concentrate is the part of milk that is separated from the curds when cheese undergoes its process. This unfiltered whey protein contains all the main proteins, fats, carbs, and vitamins. Whey protein is mainly for people who want to bulk up, but who don’t care about the added calories in their drink. A scoop can contain as much as 25 grams of protein which is great for a post-gym meal. Try out the chocolate and even vanilla flavors.
