So you hear it all the time, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day"... Well it actually is. What you eat first thing sets the tone for the rest of your day. Charles Poliquin suggests that the higher protein in your morning meal the better it is. The food choices you make in the morning impacts the rest of your food choices for the entire day. Think Protein and Fats!!!

According to Poliquin Article "How much Protein Do you really need to Eat?", a high protein diet is unlikely to make you fat. You have to look at your diet as a whole...

- calorie intake
-carbs you eat
-body fat vs. lean mass
-physical activity level
-age

*Did you know... Protein actually boosts your metabolism because it costs the body more calories to process it!

Whey is beneficial to us because of it’s content in lactoferrin, albumin and lactalbumin. Those are largely driven to the immune protecting antibodies, along with amino acids (like cysteine). Together, they support the production of an extremely important antioxidant – called glutathione.

From the best ...

How much protein do you need from a supplement following Strength Training?

Research shows that 20-30 grams of protein after training will stimulate protein synthesis (Egg, Whey and Casein Protein)

! 10 grams is not a large enough dose to offset protein breakdown or rebuild muscle tissue- you need at least 20 grams.

!! It is recommended that the average person interested in fat loss only use 1 dose of whey protein and get the rest of their protein intake from whole foods.

!!! If you are gressively trying to put on muscle or trying to accelerate recovery from frequent training-you will benefit from taking Whey.

If you want to lose fat- EAT MORE PROTEIN!! Aim for 1.6g/Kilogram of Body Weight a day.

Make sure that your carbs and fats are in proportion as well!

Is Whey Dangerous?

Have you ever heard the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet"? She was all about GAINZ... eating her "curds and WHEY"
Here's the down low on whey....

Whey protein is formed as a by-product of cheese making. Whey protein is considered a complete protein as it contains all 9 essential amino acids. In moderate doses, whey protein is not considered dangerous.

Protein helps replace worn out cells, transports various substances throughout the body, and aids in growth and repair.
Consuming protein can also increase levels of the hormone glucagon, and glucagon can help to control body fat.1 Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels go down. This causes the liver to break down stored glycogen into glucose for the body.

What is Protein?

Proteins are organic molecules made up of amino acids – the building blocks of life. These amino acids are joined together by chemical bonds and then folded in different ways to create three-dimensional structures that are important to our body’s functioning.

Branched chain amino acids, aka BCAAs, are important players in protein synthesis. Without enough of them in your diet at the right times, you could be sacrificing some hard-earned gains in the gym.
