I am only concerned with losing fat right now. When I plan out my days I am always under in protein. Should I try whey or is this just for gaining muscle when the time comes? (in 25 less pounds of fat later)
I dont have time for always adding eggs and more meat than Im alreadt having, I usually have a cup of chicken a day and almonds.
THANKS

I have Whey to help max my protein and lose weight.
Since including it into my daily allowance, i've been feeling fuller, more alert and losing weight.
I personally recommend it as its working for me ")0 -
If you are constantly under your protein macro, whey is a good option to get there if you can't eat food. I eat 150g of protein a day, almost always from whole foods, but days I don't hit it, I'll have a couple scoops of whey to get there. It's not just for bodybuilding, it is a good way to get extra protein0

Thanks!! I was worried it was only for building muscle :S but I find attaining my protein macros is important! But I cant have chicken or fish for like 6 meals a day XD0 -
Exactly. I tried tried to eat real foods to keep my protein up, but no matter what i did, i was over on fats, or over on salt...ect..
Was quite hard to stay within my macros...and expensive.
I know Whey isn't cheap, but its far more cheaper than buying 1kg of steak a day "P
Im sure ill change things one day, dont want to rely on powders forever, but as for now, its been helping.
Helps with the cravings too ")0 -
If whey doesn't work for you, you might try protein bars. Some have 20 or 30 gms. I can't eat that much protein per day without some kind of help. Also I can get my chocolate fix that way.0
