PROTEINS

1. WHAT IS A PROTEIN?

• Proteins, whether from animal and/or vegetable sources, help repair muscle fibers broken during sport and form new cells. It is important to understand that proteins are not doping products, it is a molecules that muscles use to rebuild themselves. 

2. WHY TAKE PROTEIN?

• You are not reaching your protein intake with your diet
• You can't eat for 2 hours after training
• You want to gain muscle faster
• You want to lose weight

3. THE BENEFITS OF PROTEIN POWDER:

• Quantity matters more than source so the body will not tell the difference between food protein and protein powder as long as the right amount is ingested;
• They have a practical side, it is easier to take a 100g shaker which will contain 70 to 90g of protein than its turkey equivalent (400g);
• This is cheaper than the same amount of protein in food;
• This can be very interesting for vegetarians and vegans;
• There are no side effects, if taken too much, the kidneys will simply eliminate the rest.

4. WHEN SHOULD PROTEIN BE TAKEN?

• At several times of the day because your body does not know how to ingest the daily amount necessary in one meal. The most effective option is to take 4 x 20gr of protein over the day, that is to say, 3 meals and a snack.
• Protein powder should be taken after intensive physical exertion to aid recovery. They are not necessary after cardio training. Try not to take a shaker 1 hour before eating in order to space out the intake.  

5. HOW TO TAKE YOUR PROTEIN POWDER?

• You have the option of mixing your powder with water, milk or even vegetable milks for an ever better shaker.

6. WHICH TYPE OF PROTEIN POWDER SHOULD I PREFER?

• The isolate or hydrolyzate for people who train with very high intensity (it contains 90% protein)
• Whey for weightlifting (it contains between 70 and 80% protein)
• Casein, this protein will be digested slowly and should usually be taken before sleeping
• A protein powder containing less than 70% protein will contain more carbohydrates, so it will be less effective. 

7. GOOD TO KNOW:

• A person who does not practice regular and intense sports activity will not need to add protein outside of their meals;
• Protein shakers do not replace meals.
• It is important to be well hydrated
• THIS IS NOT A MIRACLE PRODUCT, you have to train
