Protein powder and Energy

jschug

I'm currently using Designer Whey. I'm wondering if there a better protein powder? I'm also wondering if there is something i can take that gives me a bit of an energy boost before working out? Lately I have seem to have no energy when doing my work outs or runs.

Protein powder isn't really an "energy booster" per say. There are pre-workouts on the market people use for that. They do come with side effects for some. However, I would highly suggest you check and make sure that you are eating the right amount of calories, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated. Also examine the type of food you are eating. Most people find whole more natural foods to be better for energy than highly processed foods.

Examine those areas, make adjustments and THEN reach for supplements if you have to. And if you do try to reach for all natural stuff, your wallet might not like it but you will be doing your body a favor in the long run.
