You basically can’t grow muscle without taking whey protein after workouts but that doesn’t mean that whey can’t be better. Slow-digesting casein protein was once believed to have no place around workout time, but newer research suggests otherwise.
In fact, a study from Baylor University (Waco, Texas) reported that men who consumed a whey/casein blend protein shake after workouts for 10 weeks gained significantly more muscle mass than the subjects who consumed a whey protein shake without casein.Try using a protein Like Intek Evolution or Pro Complete 40 both of which combine whey and casein in an ideal blend.
Performance Nutrition Blog is a collaboration of Fitness and Nutrition Experts located in the New England area. We aim to answer questions to help individuals reach their fitness and health goals. While most of the contributors are affiliated with an existing business in the industry we strive to retain an honest and informative approach to topics related to health and fitness.
We will often challenge conventional wisdom and some of the established ideas both in nutrition and fitness. The idea is to inspire the reader to think and not necessarily win an argument about who is right and who is wrong. Ultimately the discussion of ideas and knowledge will lead to better results for us all.
