On the contrary, it is a <strong>practical dietary supplement.<\/strong> It is therefore an essential part of the diet of people who want to <strong>lose weight, gain muscle or simply stay in shape<\/strong>. In fact, a sufficient protein intake can greatly help to achieve a set lifestyle goal, whatever it may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decided to make your protein intake easier by using some protein powder, you may be confused when choosing one. It may not be easy to navigate what the abbreviations such as WPC, WPI or DH32 mean. In today&#8217;s article, we will explain more about what lies behind these mysterious letters, and we will also discuss how to choose the right protein relative to your goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_using_protein_powder\"><\/span>What are the benefits of using protein powder?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein is a dietary supplement that is rightly a <strong>concentrated<\/strong> <strong>source of protein.<\/strong> Its recommended intake ranges between <strong>0.8 &#8211; 2 g of protein per kilogram of BW<\/strong> (body weight), depending on <strong>age, health status and volume of<\/strong> <strong>physical activity.<\/strong> For a 70 kg person, it is therefore 56 &#8211; 140g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to increased protein intake requirements, athletes are advised to stick to a range of 1.4 &#8211; 2g per kilogram of BW. For a 70&nbsp;kg sportsman, it is somewhere between 98 &#8211; 140g. Protein powder, however, is designed not just for the <strong>growth of athletes&#8217; muscles<\/strong>. It can also help people who are trying to lose weight and want to <strong>protect their hard-earned muscle mass from burning to energy or reduce constant hunger and sweet cravings.<\/strong> If you are unable to get enough protein from a normal diet in a day, protein powder can become a great partner for you. Let&#8217;s see what an adequate protein intake has an impact on. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

What does this mean? For proteins, depending on their type, the <strong>thermal effect varies between 20 &#8211; 30%<\/strong>. Its known that 20 &#8211; 30% of their energy value is used by the body for metallization. In comparison, carbohydrates have a thermal effect of only 5 &#8211; 10% and fats of only 0 &#8211; 3%. Protein thus enables the body, of all the macronutrients, to <strong>burn the most energy<\/strong> practically without making any additional effort. If you consume 150g of protein per day, you can also burn up to 180 kcal. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[3\u2013\u20605]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Losing and maintaining weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Easier weight loss due to <strong>adequate protein intake<\/strong> is also linked to the <strong>maintenance and growth of muscle mass<\/strong>, which consumes more energy than fat. If you have more muscle, your expenditure is naturally higher. If you have already reached your goal weight, optimum protein intake can also help you <strong>not to<\/strong> <strong>start gaining weight again<\/strong>. This is due to the <strong>thermal effect and<\/strong><strong> the satiety of protein.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[6-8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want more tips on how to lose weight, you shouldn&#8217;t miss our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/15-tips-on-how-to-lose-weight-start-exercising-and-eat-healthy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>15 Tips On How To Lose Weight, Start Exercising and Eating Healthily.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Growth and maintenance of muscles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein and their amino acids are an <strong>essential building block of<\/strong> <strong>muscle.<\/strong> This allows muscle mass to grow and gain strength, which is appreciated by all those who regularly work out at the gym. Likewise, protein can help with <strong>muscle maintenance<\/strong>, which is most important, especially during dieting. In fact, during a calorie deficit, high protein intake <strong>can reduce and prevent the<\/strong> <strong>loss of muscle mass<\/strong>. What&#8217;s more, if certain conditions are met, it can help with <strong>muscle gain<\/strong>. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s better to stick to a higher protein intake.

Increased regeneration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein also plays an irreplaceable role in <strong>repairing damaged<\/strong> <strong>muscles after exercise.<\/strong> That, too, is why, in the gym, you can see athletes mixing protein drink in a shaker immediately after their last series. Sure, that&#8217;s a little over the top, but they&#8217;re basically making no error. They&#8217;re just trying to give the body what it needs right away. In addition to the ability to <strong>repair<\/strong> <strong>muscles after training<\/strong>, protein can also help repair damaged tissues due to injury. Nor should its intake be underestimated by people who have suffered an injury and want to get back into shape as soon as possible. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[11-12]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More tips on how to support regeneration can be found in our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-support-regeneration-using-a-massage-gun-and-other-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How To Promote Regeneration With the Help Of A Massage Gun and Other Aids.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-824x1124.jpg\" alt=\"Protein to promote bone health\" class=\"wp-image-306459\" title=\"Protein to promote bone health and immunity\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-824x1124.jpg 824w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-293x400.jpg 293w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-1127x1536.jpg 1127w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-1502x2048.jpg 1502w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC03824-scaled.jpg 1878w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

It&#8217;s probably no surprise that it&#8217;s made from <strong>protein-rich foods<\/strong>. Based on the raw ingredients, we can divide proteins into <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/protein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">animal<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/plant-based-proteins\"> plant-based<\/a>. This gives you a wide array of options from which to <strong>choose protein powder, exactly according to your<\/strong> <strong>needs and goals.<\/strong> There are also special protein powders, suitable for vegans or people with dietary restrictions, such as <strong>lactose intolerance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Animal_based_protein\"><\/span>Animal based protein<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">Protein powder that is made from milk<\/strong> can generally be identified as the most popular. It contains a combination of whey protein and casein in a <strong>ratio of 1:4<\/strong>. Whey protein&nbsp;is a mixture of&nbsp;<strong>proteins<\/strong> isolated from <strong>whey<\/strong>. Specifically, you can find whey <strong>concentrate, isolate and<\/strong> <strong>hydrolysate.<\/strong> If you see &#8220;100% Whey&#8221; on the label, you can be sure that whey proteins are the only protein source used. A great preference for such a protein is rapid digestibility. However, casein proteins are also produced from milk, such as today&#8217;s most widely used micellar casein. It provides <strong>steady stream of muscle-building amino acids<\/strong> as it digests much more slowly. This makes it perfect for reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in addition to milk, animal protein powders are also made from <strong>beef protein or eggs<\/strong> (egg albumin). Very rarely, you may also run into <strong>chicken or salmon protein<\/strong>. However, their price is quite high. That&#8217;s why this kind of protein sources may be part of some multicomponent protein powders, meal replacements or protein bars. Below, we&#8217;ll talk about how to recognize each type of protein and choose the best one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Whey_protein\"><\/span>1. Whey protein<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/whey-protein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">Whey protein<\/strong><\/a> belongs to the category of animal products produced from milk. <strong>More than 100 litres of milk is needed per kilogram of the resulting protein.<\/strong> The resulting price varies depending on the type of protein, the method of processing, digestibility, digestion time, protein, fat, carbohydrate content. This way, each of the protein powders may be suitable for an individual relative to their goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To produce whey protein, <strong>quality cow&#8217;s milk must first be<\/strong> <strong>sourced<\/strong>. It undergoes pasteurisation (short-term heating) which prevents bacteria from multiplying in the milk.

The limiting amino acid, which is represented in insufficient quantities, in <strong>rice protein is mainly lysine.<\/strong> To compensate for this deficiency, it is advisable to supplement it with another source of protein, ideally protein from legumes.<strong> Rice protein and pea protein<\/strong> can thus be a great combination due to their amino acid content. The protein content differs for specific products. However, it is usually <strong>between 50 &#8211;<\/strong> <strong>78%.<\/strong> You may also encounter different carbohydrate and fat proportions for these proteins. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[37\u2013\u206040]&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rice protein is suitable for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vegans, vegetarians and people with lactose intolerance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People who want to enhance their diet with plant protein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chefs and cooks who want to enrich their dishes with plant protein. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People who need to increase the protein content in their diet. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Hemp_protein\"><\/span>3.
