protein supplement vs protein foods

Many aspiring youngsters are emerging in fitness field. they all dream to build a great physique. unfortunately protein is the key in building muscles, losing fat or what ever. the demand of protein foods usually less especially in India. Indians don't even full fill 30% of their daily protein requirement, this is due to their eating style. usually our (Indians) meal loaded with tons of carbs. they don't consider about nutritional diet (a diet must contain all macros and micros) unless until they have some serious goal in fitness. this triggers the many protein manufactures marketing poly. protein gonna play major role in future bodybuilding success. before diving into the deep let me raise few questions.

Does protein supplements are really necessary?
Were does these proteins come from?
Why protein supplements are not in affordable price?

To answer these questions we will discuss about the role of protein in foods vs protein supplementation

Protein supplements

There are inundated of publications were posted related to protein supplements. the nutrition experts states that there are distinct advantage of using protein supplements over whole protein dense foods. there are many different methods included in determining protein quality. which are it must have biological value(BV), protein efficiency ratio (PER), net protein utilization (NPU), and protein digestibility amino acid scores (PDAS).

If you guys ask me does supplements are really necessary my answer would be "NO", protein supplements are not needed for everyone. if you could able to full fill your daily protein requirements by food itself. then those supplements are really not matter. except those essential amino acids (EAA), these amino acids cannot produce by our system we have to take it either from foods or supplements. unfortunately protein supplements are loaded with lots of amino acid profile.

Protein quality

One of the best way to determine the protein quality is BV (biological value). BV is actually determines how much of protein absorbed and utilize in the body. the higher the amount of nitrogen retained the greater the BV. if a food contain 100BV which means all of the protein were absorbed and utilized nothing lost.

Example- Egg white which have 100 BV when comparing with beans which have only 49 BV

Protein quality is certainly a important issue. but it is the one enormously overstated and even distorted for marketing. whey protein contain excellent BV value nearly 100. many protein manufacturers are marketing their protein with high BV between 104 - 157. in advanced nutrition and human metabolism BV is defined as measure of nitrogen that retained for growth or maintenance, that is expressed as percentage of nitrogen absorbed. if any whey proteins companies advertise their products of BV value over 100 they are intentionally manipulated those BV for their sales.

Most of the body builders and strength athletes they already consume enough protein from whole protein dense foods . so the importance of BV for those peoples is overplayed. even though whey proteins contain higher BV value than whole protein rich foods like, chicken, egg, beans etc. having a additional scoop of whey wont carry you extra muscles.

I recommend you to follow these simple protocol guidelines for developing or maintaining the muscles

Try to consume complete source of protein in every meal

Take 1.4 to 2g of protein per 1kg of bodyweight

Eat at frequent intervals that is three hours from apart

Whey proteins

Before get to knew about whey protein let me confess one thing whey protein are not steroids' its the alternate way for consuming proteins. whey proteins are loaded with high biologicals value (BV=100). which mean these proteins are 100% high in quality and which can be easily absorb. it helps to full fill your daily protein requirement especially when you are in low calories or low protein intake. its also more convenient protein and provide high quality of proteins without fat. usually whey proteins are made in milk. some brands extracts from plants. some even from beef steak.

Whey protein also have some other advantages, besides high protein quality

It enhance immunity
Increase antioxidant activity
Quick absorption

Some studies have shown that whey proteins provides anti carcinogenic properties. which is protection from infections and other enhanced immune responses. it also raises the level of glutathione. its an important antioxidant that protect you from free radical oxidative damage. while such findings are promising all these were implemented on mice and we cant pretty sure how it will work on humans.

Another benefit of whey protein is quick absorption and we cant sure that it will absorb quick than whole protein dense foods. After every intense training session the rate of protein synthesis and glycogen re synthesis are increased at this time a liquid protein carbs mix stimulate more muscle growth than a solid protein carbs foods.

Amino acids

Amino acids groups combines to form a proteins. amino acids are building block of proteins. after the protein it breakdown into amino acids. our body use those amino acids to repair the muscle tissue and strengthen it. in simple term amino acids are defined as pre digested proteins. the body absorbs it better. the human digestive system is efficiently designed to process the whole foods. it was not designed to digest pills or powders as long.

Consuming pre digested proteins, especially when you are in fat loss is not necessary. because it affects the thermic effect towards the real foods. whole foods ahs major advantage than supplements because it increase metabolism its called as "thermic effect". protein foods has more thermic effect than any other foods. it speed up the metabolism every time as much as 30%. because more energy requires to absorb, process and digest it.

Example- if 100 calories of chicken breast is processed in body it will remains only 70 calories of chicken breast. 30 calories take body to digest those foods. even the protein foods digest slow than amino acids which could be even more advantage.

A final argument about amino acids is its price. it costs around 2000/INR. 1000g of amino acids equal to 1g of protein. if a bottle contains 150000g of amino which means it has 150g of protein. just 150g of proteins for 2000 rupees. does that sounds good? not really isn't! Yes, 100g of chicken breast comes around some where between 50-70 rupees. it contain 27g of proteins. now choose your protein choice.

Conclusion

The biggest advantage of protein supplement is not gonna build more muscles than eating whole protein dense foods like chicken, fish etc. the biggest advantage is convenience. its easy to consume, if you are considering about small frequent meals then whey proteins are pure blessing for you. its optimal way to consume, regardless weather you goal is to be fat loss or building muscles. to keep your body completely in nitrogen balance. then you must consume protein at every three hours. for many people eating often could not be possible so they go for whey proteins.

Aside from convenience. my opinion about whey proteins are they have some quite advantages than whole foods . there is no scientific evidence that you cannot meet all your protein requirements for muscle growth from foods itself. as long as you eat every three hours with whole protein dense foods you don't need longer to have a extra scoop of proteins for more muscles. whey proteins might have some interesting and useful properties. taking a one or two scoops especially when you are in low calories definitely its not a bad idea.
