What is the best protein for muscle builders??

Answers: I agree with the egg whites, I must go through a few dozen a week. Unfortunately, it's not the most convenient option, and if you want to build muscle then you really should be eating 5-6 times per day. There's a few things to keep in mind with protein. First, there is a time for slow absorbing protein and fast absorbing protein. Typically whey protein is the fastest absorbing - this is generally what you will find in protein powders. Slow absorbing proteins are based on casein, also from dairy. This generally is found in cottage cheese and similar products, or alternatively casein protein powders. All other animal sources - beef, chicken, pork, fish - tend to be somewhere in the middle in terms of absorbtion. So why does it matter? After a workout, your muscles are depleted and need readily absorbable protein to start the rebuilding cycle. This is where whey protein is key - take it within an hour of your workout, sooner if possible. Late at night, you want to have some casein based protein before bedtime to slowly release and feed muscles overnight, as this is when most recovery and building takes place, but unfortunately when nutrients run out. I also take a shot of whey protein first thing in the morning to get things started again, this makes a big difference in gaining solid mass. During the day, you can pretty much chose your protein source, just try not to go more than 3-4 without eating.

I have answered some other questions lately regarding training, nutrition, and supplementation. Take a look at them if you want some more reference material or ping me with more questions, I would be happy to help.

There's a lot of good websites that sell protein powders. Luckily they are also good sources of education. Try the links mentioned below and good luck in your efforts.

Oh, one last thing - stay away from soy protein. Aside from being one of the finest gag reflex inducing products I've ever tried, it actually can be detrimental in trying to gain muscle mass. There is a place for soy protein, but I would not recommend it for muscle growth.

Six egg whites and one yolk: 162 calories, 2g carbs, 24g protein, 5g fat. six egg whites for a high-protein, low-fat meal that continues to repair the muscle damage from the previous evening's workout.
i know that much only.
