Why is it worth falling in love with protein mixtures and how not to throw money down the drain, the doctor explains
I believe that good protein blends are the right addition to your food. Modern man is constantly in short supply of this component, so once a day it will be useful to make yourself a cocktail and drink it with vegetables or fruit, that is, with plant fiber. This is an important condition, since our stomach for saturation requires food that will occupy it, and plant fiber is just ideal for this.
How to choose a protein blend?
- You need to look at the amount of protein in one serving.. The closer to the figure 25-30 g, the better. This is the optimal amount for one meal, it just won't be absorbed anymore.
- Pay attention to the composition of the mixture. If there are fats or, God forbid, trans fats, we reject this option.
- You shouldn't take protein with a lot of carbohydrates. Better up to 10 g per serving, maximum 15 g.
- If the protein contains amino acids, then pay attention only to the amount of BCAA. This is the collective name for three important amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine. Well, and possibly L-glutamine. The rest of the amino acids are extra ballast and stress on the kidneys.
- It is important to see which protein is being used. Dairy can be whey or casein, ideally the mixture should be together. If there is no lactose in the composition, then such a protein is possible even for those who have lactose intolerance. Soy protein is great, but should not be taken by men with true gynecomastia (breast enlargement). Peas, wheat, and beef protein are also good.
- Better to take isolates (this is a concentrated version) or hydrolysates (better absorbed).
- It is better to dilute the mixture with water only.
