The Best Protein Powder For Building Muscle

ByKarl Z

Today we can find many different protein shakes, powders and bars all over the place. The problem is that many of us lack the knowledge to choose the best one. Luckily your in the right place and I will teach you how to choose the best protein shake that are healthy but also good for your muscles.

First of there is no best protein powder for building muscle. In order to understand and learn about protein you must first master the basics. There are 4 types of protein powders.

whey
soy
egg
casein

whey - Fast absorbing protein to support lean muscle.

Soy - Low fat, low cholesterol, good for vegetarians.

Egg - High lactose free protein, good for lean physique.

Casein - Slow digestive protein.

Again whats , it would be whey protein and egg protein. The reason behind that is the goal is to build muscle and whey and egg protein are designed to do that. Now if the goal was to tone up soy protein would be the better choice. Now when do I use casein protein and is it one of ? Casein protein is a slow digestive protein which means it lasts longer in your body. It is ideal to take it before bed. If you work out late at nights this might be a good protein choice in order to supply the muscles with constant fuel.

Things to avoid when buying protein

It is recommended to look for protein that says whey protein isolate as one of the primary ingredients. This is necessary as some companies add in fillers that don't do jack for the body, hence why you want to avoid them.

Look at how much sugar and carbs the protein shake includes. Sugar is added for taste but too much of it is not good. Same with carbs too much of it and you mid section is gonna get big. Any protein that has over 15 grams of carbs is a no no.

Creatine, creatine should also raise a red flag. What it basically does is it fills your muscles up with water making them look bigger but not stronger. Some protein shakes include creatine in them and thats fine, just make sure its not alot.

Okay so thats the basics, you can also look into muscle gainers if you would like to put on some pounds to get bigger. As always stay strong and keep this post in mind while choosing a shake. Good luck!
