must be supplied through the diet.
Athletes of both sexes swear by a high protein content in their daily diet. In fact, the need for protein can increase significantly during strenuous physical activities. Especially the Muscle building through strength training and bodybuilding requires an adapted diet. Scholars argue about the amount of protein that should be consumed daily. Recommendations range from a total of 40 grams daily for an adult to 4 grams per kilogram of body weight. Most athletes consider an amount of 1 gram to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to be sufficient. For a person with a body weight of 80 kg, this means a daily protein amount of 80 to 160 grams. Since this amount is not always easy to absorb through natural foods, protein powders are a good way to reach the daily goal. The selection of protein powders is large. To support you in your decision for the right product, you will find some information here.
Protein powder: which one is best for you?
Different protein powders are available for different purposes. An important selection criterion is your athletic goals. It makes a difference whether you want to build mass, lose weight or achieve the best possible definition. For mass building you may consume plenty of calories. If you use the shakes for weight loss, you will benefit the most from the feature of getting high-quality protein in an easy way. If good definition is your goal, you should test out whether your shake may cause water retention. You can find the most popular protein powders in our overview.
Multicomponent protein
As the name suggests, this powder is composed of multiple protein sources (e.g. milk, casein, egg). Since the body's own protein synthesis is only successful when all amino acids are present, multi-component protein is a good choice. It is a good idea to alternate between different compositions.
Whey protein powder
Probably the most popular protein powder for optimal muscle building consists of whey, which is obtained from cow's milk. It has a high biological value, which indicates the extent to which the ingredients can be utilized by the human body. Whey protein convinces with its high content of branched-chain amino acids. These are necessary so that muscle building can succeed well.
Hemp protein powder
Well suited for vegetarians and vegans. Even if athletes want to avoid meat and all animal products for a variety of reasons, an increased protein intake may be necessary. Plant foods also contain proteins - but usually not all amino acids. To be sufficiently supplied with all amino acids, nutritional knowledge is necessary. This is because a combination of different foods is required. Hemp, on the other hand, is equipped with the complete spectrum and can thus be useful as a dietary supplement.
Soy protein powder
Soy protein is also well suited for vegetarians and vegans. Soy is also one of the few plants that have the full spectrum of amino acids. The plant seems to have particular advantages for women. Asian women who consume significantly more soy products complain less about menopausal symptoms and have a lower rate of breast cancer. This could be due to the phytoestrogens they contain. Men benefit from the isoflavonoids and valuable omega-3 fatty acids.
Milk protein powder
Milk protein or casein has a high biological value, but a longer absorption time. These shakes are incorporated into the body's own substance for a longer period of time. Therefore, other proteins (e.g. whey proteins) are more suitable for quick protein intake after training. Casein has the advantage that it supplies your body with its important ingredients over a longer period of time. It is therefore particularly suitable in the evening to be available at night for important building and repair work.
Egg protein powder
Egg protein or egg protein is awarded a biological value of 100. The egg itself is the reference food on which this classification is based. This protein powder contains hardly any carbohydrates and is therefore also suitable for people who eat according to the guidelines of low carb. Unfortunately, it is not very tasty in its pure state. For this reason, it is often combined with other protein sources.
It is hard to imagine modern sports nutrition without protein powders. They not only provide protein, but are often enriched with helpful additives (e.g. vitamins, minerals). While meat, cheese and eggs can burden your body with undesirable substances such as cholesterol and purines, protein shakes are free of these substances. They replace a meal in an uncomplicated way and among the many flavors you are sure to find a variety that you no longer want to do without.
