I had always assumed that protein powder was derived from waste products that were created during other food processing. Why would someone use protein powder when there are other good sources of protein?
- tedunangst 10y agoMany good protein sources also contain not protein.
- lexhaynes 10y agoWhat does that mean, out of curiosity? Do you mean vegetarian protein which is harder to absorb?
- tedunangst 10y agoCarbohydrates, etc. Not everybody wants to live on a diet of egg whites. :)
- MicroBerto 10y agoBack in the day, they used to throw the whey out. It was the curds they wanted for cheese. Times have definitely changed. Whey is in everywhere, even in oreos. Demand got out of control cerca 2012, which led to all the spiking. One of the major instant shockwaves to the market was the launch of Gatorade Recovery drinks. And that was on top of the general movement towards high-protein diets (a good thing). Took the market quite a while to recover from that, pardon the pun. Regarding your question... if you have a high-protein diet, it's a nice convenience to throw a scoop or two in. You ever try to get 225-250g protein per day without using shakes, day in and day out? Gets tiring.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoHere in Norway, we've never thrown away the whey. It's been used for centuries to produce "brown cheese", a delicious sweet semi-soft "cheese". Wonderful on waffles. It's the first thing ex-pat Norwegians ask you to send them.
