I wanted to see if anyone can lead me to a research study (tried for a while to find a good one to no avail) that shows the difference between using whey protein and just eating a protein rich food. I am having trouble finding the time even while on IF diet to eat at least 1g per lb BW. I am averaging about 150 grams of protein a day. I get way to full eating more than 7-8 oz of chicken/beef/fish. I have tried hard boiling eggs and can only stomach 3-4... I was a fat kid with a small stomach since I only always ate candy or sweets that made me fat. (correction I made myself fat by eating them lol) After a week of tracking on my new cut my average macros are looking like 40/20/40... Cutting on 1800 cals.
Do some of you just always throw in 1-2 protein shakes a day and if so I wonder how much of a difference it makes if any....

i'm not aware of any real studies out there, but i can tell you this: every molecule of protein has the exact same chemical make-up, whether it comes from powdered whey, or from a chicken breast. protein is protein. the only difference would be what the previous guy said, that chicken will be much more filling than a shake.

Whole foods are always superior, but for your goals there's not going to be a significant difference.

Apparently that theory has been disproven now. I have heard about this in the 1990's never knew it has been since disproven.
edit....Well it is somewhat true in some foods themselves but the body pulls from resources later to complete them.

Theres a term that I learned a long time ago. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Want to learn more research them too. It will surprise you.

A complete protein contains all essential amino acids where as incomplete proteins to not. This probably doesn't matter much in the quantities we eat protien. It might if you were in a 3rd world country eating 30g/day.
That said, whey is isolated and has had a good chunk of the micro nutrition removed in the process. It's always better to get your protein from a whole food source. Whey is there when you can't cook or don't have time.My Reverse Diet Log
