Whey or normal?

[JoeRDodd]

Just purchased a lot of whey protein and normal protein( ultimate milk) what is the difference between the two , I'm wanting to bulk so which one should I opt for ? Thanks !

Bulking comes from your overall diet...not from a serving of a protein shake/milk.

What does your diet/cals look like?

Doesn't really matter which one. Use either,both, or even neither to help you get your protein and macro needs for the day.

I know that but if one has more cals in then that would make it better for me and I try taking in 2200 cals a day

I laugh all the time when i open up these threads bc I know what propels response will b. they think people asking these questions are idiots and that they think supplements or protein powders wilson all the difference. Hell he asked a question which one would be better. We all know diet and regular food is best bla bla why the need to always answer with that?. Anyways I love a blend only protein powder I ever use is magnums Quattro. If you have to choose I would go with the one that you look forward to drinking as long as its a clean product.

If you've already eaten 2200 calories for the day and hit your macro targets, you wouldn't need to use either product. Incorporate the shakes into your diet to help reach your daily requirements, so "better" would depend on the rest of your diet and whichever one fits into your ideal caloric intake. That's the same point that the first two responses were trying to get across.

I so have to agree with this I can't say how many times I've heard that when asking a simple question about Supps on here. Yeah we know that diet is going to contribute the most to your fitness goals but can't people just answer the question asked instead of always being educated. Yeah I encourage everyone to read all the stickes and get as much info from there as possible and only post the quesitons that aren't answered in the stickies but just answere the queston and leave it at that.

Repped , I know , fair enough diet is one of the most important factors but that's not what I asked , Being a noob to supplements just wanted to make sure I'm taking the right thing ha , anyway , ill take that on board, thanks!

Please respond

I did put in brackets beside "normal protein" ultimate milk, so in response to your question, ultimate milk. I understand this is not the main source of protein but thought this would come off quite obviously seen as it is posted in the "supplements" section .

You might want to lose the attitude, I have simply never heard of ultimate milk and never heard anybody mention "normal" protein except for maybe meat and even then that would be odd.

no such thing as normal protein. chances are your milk protein is is either whey or casien. The proteins in milk are 30% whey and 70% casein. it doesn't really matter which one you opt for but i'd go with the whey

[Rudice]

and I try taking in 2200 cals a day

are you cutting? eat moar. do you have a smart phone? download myfitnesspal, trust me

[JoeRDodd]

downloaded this app a couple of days ago, love it ! and to gain a pound a week it says I need 2400 cals a day as I'm not tall, full determination to bulking now ! cheers for advice anyway

[nickwannabe]

Well I would say that 2200-2400 cals sounds a bit low but well if your app tells you so

The thing with the protein is , people do think to much about the sources..
In the end it is all protein, and all of the products have minimal differences

for example a Whey protein isolate will have lesser carbs and will digest more quickly, so it might be good for a cut or PWO with extra carbs
A milk protein will digest a little bit slower and maybe your chosen product has more carbs

but from a distance nobody can tell you the details of your product without being familiar with it
And in addition to this for a bulk the sources might be not as important

General rule:
Post Workout -> fast digesting Protein + fast acting carbs
Morning -> fast / medium Protein
Bedtime -> slow Protein

At any other time of the day I would prefer a mixture , but anything will do the job !

Ultimate Milk is basically the same, except it has electrolytes.
