Top Two Protein Sources
Protein is without a doubt the best way to build muscles, burn fat and achieve our physical goals. But to reach those goals you’re going to need to get your hands on only the best sources of protein available. But not only quality matters here, to achieve that ripped look you need to, on a daily basis, feed your body 1 gram of protein for every single pound of body weight.

Taking The Number One Spot - Whey Protein
Whey protein takes the number one spot for its super absorbent powers! This source doesn’t take much energy for the body to process and is soaked up into the muscles with ease. It also boosts your immune system and a study at Ball State University, Indiana, found taking a minimum of 0.88g of whey per pound of body weight could prevent the ills of over training from setting in.
If you are lactose intolerant try using whey protein isolate as it contains less lactose.
Whey protein is best accompanied by carbs. It’s recommended that your workout fuel, taken before and after each session, should consist of around 2 grams of whey protein and 40 grams of carbs. Those carbs will provide you with the energy you need to train and also replace the glycogen from your muscles after training. The refined sugars found in carbs cause your body to release extra insulin into your bloodstream. This insulin then enters your muscles and enhances protein synthesis. And when your muscles get better at processing the protein they will develop a lot faster.
Whey protein is highly recommended if you’re focusing on working your abs. The following article will explain more on that topic - How Can I Get Abs
And In A Close Second - Soya Protein Isolate
Some scientists have conducted research on the effects of soya protein and have said it is equally as good at creating muscle mass as whey protein is. Soya also contains very little saturated fat. Soya is also densely packed with rich iron, which can carry o lot more oxygen to the muscles during aerobic exercise.
It’s been speculated recently in the fitness community that soya protein can cause man boobs. But I have never seen any evidence to support these claims so I personally take such theory’s with a pinch of salt. (And you should do your own research, don’t take my opinions as your own)
You can take your endurance training to the next level by adding Vitamin C to your protein shakes, Vitamin C will force your body to absorb the iron in the soya protein at an increased rate, and results in even more oxygen circulating the muscles.
