Whey Protein
An article found on builtlean.com has complied an article (Leyva,2012) that demonstrates what whey protein truly is. Leyva claims that whey protein is actually a product of cheese, and while some use it to recover from vigorous levels of activity others drink it casually just to remain healthy. We obtain our normal proteins from meats primarily, they are what we call complete proteins. (Morrow, 2012) Complete proteins are defined as having the benefits of proteins as well as restoring amino acids within our bodies. To determine how much protein one needs per day, is to multiply your body weight by 0.36. For example, if someone weighs 200 pounds they would need to consume 72 grams a day.(Pendick,2015)

Michael,
I was just having an argument over protein and the effects of things like whey on your body and athletic performance with my roommate and long time friend for over 10 years. During a recent grocery shopping trip, my roommate suddenly loaded up on protein bars, whey protein, and muscle milk. This was a bit odd for me because I have never seen him buy any of those things in the three years that I have roomed with him at Penn State. I asked why he decided to stock up on protein and he revealed to me that he wanted to bulk up. When I asked him what effects did protein have on his body and athletic performance, he admitted that he did not have a good answer. I have noticed a substantial increase in people carrying around protein shakes and consuming protein packed foods. I also believe that many of those people are not necessarily informed about what they are putting into their bodies. I did some research and have noticed that many people associate protein with large muscles. There was also a study that examined if people who took protein had bigger muscles than people who did not. The results of the study showed that protein powders and supplements had no effect on how big your muscles got or overall strength. I believe that the increase in the protein “buzz” is more attributed to sensational marketing campaigns by these products rather than people actually realizing the benefit of a bottle of muscle milk. Obviously, our bodies need protein to function. However, unless you are a body builder or elite athlete, chances are if you consume a healthy diet, you are getting more than enough protein than your body needs.
Hi, Michael David Kresovich. As we all know, protein is the most important nutrition in our body. You mentioned four aspects in blog. First, where’s the protein comes from, second is the effect of protein, third is protein’s positive influence on muscle, and fourth is how much average protein we consume each day. But I am not sure about your data related to how much protein is consumed per day. If a person weight 50 kg, can I say the consumed protein by 100 kg person is double? I don’t have enough muscle, but I still want to know how much protein I consume each day, and I need this result to change my eating habit. I think once you can add this aspect, your blog will be better.
