Why do people say Food > Supps?

[ahhmyeye]

If Whey Isolate has a much higher absorption rate than any meat or anything why do people say food is better?

[garlichead]

I only eat supps, never food. Maybe someone else will come along that has more experience in eating food.

[matic-]

whey isolate has its place pwo because of the absorption but whole food is greater than whey any other time

Real food is more thermogenic than whey. In other words, it makes your body work harder to digest it. Not a good idea to rely on whey to live daily!

[self_made_hawk]

whey isolate is expensive
ground beef is not

I'll save my money and go with a cheaper source of protein even if it's somewhat inferor

Actually, gram per gram, whey is probably cheaper than ground beef . In fact, it's one of cheapest sources of high protein you can buy for the price.

but, as i'm sure you're aware (though I feel is necessary to point out) beef has other benefits, whereas whey is just... protein.

Could somebody live on whey protein and a few multivitamins?

[rkelly7]

Food has many nutrients that aren't found in whey.

yeah if the powder had more then a couple grams of carbs or fat added,i seriosuly doubt some one could live on more then 80 percent protein without wanting to die of constipation.

listen.. WHEY PROTEIN IS A SUPPLEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!! it should be used for that reason only

sure its high in BV.. but u get no nutrtion out of it at all.. ur giving ur body nothing but a quick shot of protein that is digested in nearly 30-45 minutes

eating whole food is great for the body and very nutritious it also gives it a filling effect

filling ur body with shakes will do nothing for u but end up starving you..

whole foods also contain other vitamins and minerlas that whey does not have which is also beneficial to the body.. do a search on google ull find 100's of articles

realize what u guys are trying to say.. that taking a powder is more benefical then a whole food source is mind boggling

exactly.....

to the OP, you should find a dictionary and find the meaning of Supplement.

It's understandable you asking this question though. you are only 16

if you wanna end up in the hospital, go ahead and just take whey and multis.....

Also we are still discovering healthy 'chemicals' and substances in foods.

Even baby formula, which has had a lot of research put into it cannot completely mimic breast milk. Whole foods and the interactions of various substances within them cannot be mimicked by supplements.

hilarious thread.

haha sorry....sometimes you have to be to make your point!

Why anyone would want to do this is beyond me. I personally love eating real food. If you do insist on doing it though, at least use MRPs instead of whey protein alone.
