Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein Supplement
Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein Supplement
Our protein supplement guide will help you excel on the court, in the gym, or on the roadIf you take your workouts seriously, nutrition should be top of mind too. Protein is a great place to start, and focusing on getting the right types of protein, in the right amounts, and at the right times is key. Our protein supplement guide will help you meet your wellness goals, potentially improving your performance on the court, in the gym, or on the road.What type?
Whey
Whey protein is quick to digest and provides all of the protein building blocks - the amino acids. Our bodies cannot make some amino acids, and whey is ideal for meeting essential amino acid needs. Whey also supplies branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), and some research supports that they aid muscle recovery after hard workouts.
Casein
Compared with whey, casein is slower to digest, and results in a lower, yet more prolonged rise in blood amino acid levels, which may provide a particular advantage for body builders. At least one study supports that casein outshines whey in terms of promoting strength and lean body mass gains in people following a structured weight-training plan.
Rice
Rice protein is less likely to create allergic reactions than other proteins, and it comes from a plant, making it appropriate for vegetarians. Another potential advantage is that rice protein contains a high proportion of arginine, an amino acid that can dilate blood vessels, possibly enhancing blood flow to muscles. Rice is not a "complete" protein however; it doesn't supply all of the essential amino acids. Some products combine rice protein with proteins from sources like soy or milk to make it complete.
Egg
Egg protein is ideal for people who are looking to build new muscle. It has a very high protein efficiency ratio (PER), which is one measure of how well our bodies can use any particular form of protein. The higher the PER, the more efficiently our bodies can use that protein when we eat it. Egg is off the charts in terms of PER. Egg protein also is a complete protein, and is a good source of essential and branched chain amino acids. Egg protein powder is made from egg whites, and comes in a convenient, pasteurized powder form.
Soy
Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that provides all essential amino acids, making it a good option for vegetarians. For the body to best utilize soy protein, vegetarians should also eat grain or dairy within a few days. Soy protein comes in two basic forms: soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. Soy protein isolate is the most highly purified form, and has a minimum protein content of 90%. Soy protein concentrate contains more carbohydrates, and has a protein content of approximately 70%. Concentrates tend to cost a little less, but if you find soy protein concentrate doesn't agree with you, try isolate, which is easier for some people to digest.
How much?
With protein, as with many nutrients, more is not always better. According to Dr. Doug Paddon-Jones, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Exercise Studies, "30 grams of protein appears to stimulate maximum muscle synthesis. For athletes, each meal and snack is a chance to hit the 30 gram mark, giving your body several opportunities each day to maximize muscle growth and repair."
Another reason to spread protein evenly through the day is simple efficiency. "Given that your body won't use much beyond 30 grams of protein at a time, it doesn't make sense to load up with more than this," says Paddon-Jones.
When?
- Breakfast-To support muscle building first thing in the morning, try trading traditional carb-heavy breakfast foods for more protein-rich options, such as a powder protein supplement mixed with milk and cereal.
- If you're heading into a long strength-training session-Sipping a casein-based protein supplement prior to and during your workout will give muscles sustained access to amino acids. If taken in the evening, casein can provide a steady supply of amino acids while you're sleeping.
- Immediately pre- or post-workout-Especially if your workout includes aerobic or circuit training, protein manufacturers recommend a whey protein-based liquid or powder supplement.

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
I've used this product a number of times in both powder and pre-mixed form, and I always love it. A few years ago I was using it as a post workout meal supplement in the evenings along with a salad. It was great! Gave me the protein and fullness I needed, without the calories and fat of other junk. It tasted like chocolate milk and stopped the craving for desserts I'd often have in the evening. Since then I couldn't afford the pre-mixed kind for after workouts, so I decided to try the powder. Its not as easy to mix yourself and has some lumps in it, but still has the same great taste and effect of the pre-mixed individual beverages you can find for 3x the price per serving. I've tried tons of protein supplements (soy, whey, hemp...) and all have tons of sugar, more calories, less flavor and less protein! Overall Muscle Milk Light is delicious and does everything its supposed to do! As a meal replacement or supplement to a small low calorie meal, it can't get any better!

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
This stuff tastes terrible. I purchased it on the recommendation that Muscle Milk products were the best-tasting available. Not sure whose taste buds this appeals to, but it isn't mine. Also, I agree with others on the idea that this product is not 'light' by any comparison of other products available. Most other proteins pack 20-25 grams of protein at around 100-130 calories. This stuff delivers 24 grams at 200 calories! Just about any other protein powder could be considered 'lighter' (and generally less expensive) than this. Do not waste your money.

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
I personally enjoy this product. One reviewer stated that the regular mix has 130 calories. They are mistaken. The regular product has 300 calories. This one has 195 calories.
As soon as I started taking this shake, I noticed how much faster my recovery time was after going to the gym. I also use is as a snack and meal replacement and it works wonders keeping me filled. It's well worth the price for those who want a faster recovery from working out or for those trying to lose weight and need something to help control their hunger.
The only problem that I have with this product is that it doesn't mix well when using a spoon to mix it. Of course, that's pretty typical of powdered drinks. I use one of those mixer/shaker cups and mix the water and powder together just by putting the lid on the top and shaking it. The powder and water mix really well doing it that way.Pros

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
Really? They call this product Light? What is it light in? Protein, I guess. Check out the regular Muscle Milk powder instead. This product has 195 calories to get 25 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat!! The regular product I have is 130 calories for 26 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat. . . . I must be missing something, but don't waste your money!! check out the liquid Light, I think they are lower fat and calories

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
Wonderful way to get needed protein. We often add a cup of fruit; blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, banana, etc
Tastes great alone and wonderful with fruit added. Usually we start the morning with it.
A friend used it to help recover from surgery - extra protein helped speed his recovery. He drank it in the morning and evening. YUMMY.
We all highly recommend this!Pros
- Filling
- Mixes Well
Cons
- Like A Cheap Easter Bunny
- NASTY After-taste
- Not Quite Chocolate Taste

- If you have nothing else
Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Muscle Milk® Light - Chocolate Milk 3.31 lbs:
You really can deal with the so so chocolate flavor, how much is expected anyway. The NASTY after taste has got to go! I thought it was just me but I had my son who is a competitive athlete and a choco-holic try it, he couldn't even drink the whole thing. Now I don't feel so bad, except for being out [$]. I wouldn't waste your money.
