Can someone please tell me if Whey Protein powder will make you gain weight? I am wanting to try this only if it will help me loose weight. I have heard that it can also make you gain weight. Any help will be great appreciated. Thanks

    I'm only going to confuse you further..........Whey Protein is an excellent product for these reasons every gram of protein burns 30 calories so it aids in weight loss to a point. After thats it makes muscle denser and sense muscle weighs more than fat....you will gain weight!!! I've been using a month I've only lost a few pounds in that time, but I'm definitely getting denser.

    I have a Designer Whey protein smoothy everyday as a recovery drink. the powder only has 100 calories and it tastes great. I have lost almost 30 pounds and it helps me get my protein in for the day.

    It definitely helps build muscle mass but when prepared like a smoothy by adding fruit, ice, and milk it can serve as a meal replacement shake.

    I highly recommend calling your local GNC. They were very helpful. Every first seven days of the month with a gold card you can take 20% off every item purchased, this is a great time to stock up. I'm going to start taking Whey Protein in the smoothy form as suggested by GNC this week.

    I buy all my Protein mixes from bodybuilding.com. Way cheaper than GNC. Check it out.

    Whey protein in itself will not make you gain weight. If you eat more calories than you burn - you gain weight. I use whey protein powder every day. I'm a vegetarian, so it's where I get much of my protein from. I use Beachbody's whey protein, it's cheaper than most places plus it tastes great mixed with only water. If you want more information on it, shoot me a message!
