    Protein powder is both, whey is a food. A lot of protein powders have added garbage that should not be food. Fresh kefir whey is the best.

    Oh yum! It's not an attractively shot photo, but fresh curds and whey sounds awesome!


    I agree I wish some of the garbage additives in protein powders could be left out, like artificial sweeteners, thickeners, dyes, etc... I'd like to have easy access to unflavoured whey and casein so I can add my own flavours and other additives and learn how to cook with them. Maybe have some savoury whey instead of sweet.

    It would be great if small batch cheese and other fermented dairy producers would set up next to gyms.

    Protein powder was such a great way to use up whey and get more money for it. Apparently powdered baby milk was a similar attempt to sell on excess milk. The dairy industry is great at this kind of thing.

    I work in a school and many of the teachers seem scared and worried about teenage boys drinking protein shakes. I see it as a food, but they seem to see it as a drug!

    I have no clue what curds and whey are, but I think, by the looks of that picture, I'm okay with that! :wink:
    My protein powder is 100% raw, hypo-allergenic, gluten-free vegan deliciousness! Very few ingredients and just yummy! I drink it plain with water, or put it in a milkshake (made with frozen banana) and make muffins with it!
    Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

    Whey has been eaten and known to be a healthy food source since hundreds of years BC. I would not consider whey powders to be a supplement. They are no less a food than something like powdered milk would be.

    I like this quote I found on Wiki, when I was originally researching whey as I was looking for ways to up my protein intake on a soy-free, mostly vegetarian lifestyle.

    "Throughout history, whey was a popular drink in inns and coffee houses. When Joseph Priestley was at college at Daventry Academy 1752–1755, he records that, during the morning of Wednesday 22 May 1754, he “went with a large company to drink whey.”[2] This was probably ‘sack whey’ or ‘wine whey.’"

    I found that if I mix the powder directly in with very hot coffee, it will curdle. I mix it with a tad of almond milk before adding it to my coffee and it is gorgeous, luxuriously rich and creamy in my coffee. :) No curds.

    What is it? I'm curious because I tried a few vegan powders and they all tasted nasty to me. Also, i don't eat soy.

    As far as for EAA content it seems that rice protein is the most effective

    Staple in my diet but dont count it as food.... More of a supplement.

    Read somewhere that protein powder by itself = 1/8th the nutritional value of a regular meal...

    Better to eat a meal and feel full from it than going hungry a few.minutes later just chugging the stuff

    Believe it or not, lol, i've been looking all over the place online, and i haven't found any substantial evidence to suggest that getting protein from whole food sources is "better" than getting it from a whey protein powder. I see the same arguments made everywhere. Anybody find any scientific evidence?
