Whey Protein

The general recommendation of 0.8g to 1.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day aligns with established nutritional guidelines.

However, the amount may vary based on activity level, health conditions and fitness goals. Athletes or those aiming to build muscle may target the higher end of the range (sometimes, up to 2g per kg).
Supplementing a balanced diet with 1-2 whey protein shakes is a common approach, though individual protein requirements can vary. It is better to have the 2 scoops separated instead of together as studies show that more than 40g of protein at a time provides no additional benefit.

It's always a good idea to consult a nutritionist for personalised advice.

Research suggests that for optimal recovery, whey protein should be taken between 30 minutes and 2 hours post-workout. If you are not working out, you should space your protein shakes between meals to not disrupt your regular appetite.

When manufacturers make cheese, they add enzymes to separate the curd from the liquid whey. The liquid whey is then pasteurised, concentrated and dried to make whey protein powder.

Whey protein is a by-product of cheese or yoghurt. Once collected, it goes through a series of processes to increase the amount of protein and once it reaches 80% protein content, it is dried into a concentrated powder. This results in a protein supplement that is 80% and 20% fats and carbohydrates.

Yes, research suggests whey protein can last up to 24 months. Every Fuel-Up Pro Whey Protein will have the expiry date clearly displayed on the bottom of the container with a minimum shelf life of 3 months.

While it may still be okay to consume, it is certainly not recommended for two reasons. One, the quality of protein decreases over time and, therefore, the supplement may prove ineffective. Two, if enough time passes, the taste and o may become unpleasant.

While whey protein is a calorie-efficient way to consume enough protein to build and maintain muscle, it still has calories. If a combination of diet and whey protein puts you into a calorie surplus, you will likely gain weight.

Protein is the main building block for developing and maintaining muscle mass. Whey protein combined with resistance training and adequate calorie intake is essential to support muscle growth and recovery.

Studies suggest that whey protein has a multitude of benefits. Protein is essential for muscle and skin repair so supplementing a balanced diet with extra protein when needed promotes accelerated repair and growth.

Whey protein is a concentrated, convenient and calorie-efficient means of adding protein to your day-to-day diet. People who are trying to build muscle or lose weight through a protein-rich diet tend to use whey protein to supplement a healthy, balanced diet.
