Where are you reading this? That is just silly.

Eating more calories than you burn will cause you to gain weight, and that is true whether you are eating too much chicken, tuna, cake, or whey.

Whey can be used to supplement your diet when cutting, or bulking.

Well, it's a high quality, fast-digesting protein. It'll help you gain weight in muscle mass if you work out hard and need the extra protein. It will also help protect your muscle mass while you lose fat. Some weight is good, some is not.

Just to add to what they're saying....

My GF on average has 2 shakes a day with Whey protein...and she's gone from about 150lbs. to about 124....and it was all fat....she looks fantastic now....not that I'm saying the protein shakes made her lose the weight (it was really 6xweek workouts, eating right, eating regularly, and not eating crap), I'm just saying that those certainly didn't make her Gain fat weight.


What both of them (above) said is right on...

thanks...i just dont want to gain weight. ive been eating really good, but not having a whole lot of time to work out...so if i work out like 4 times a week, should i still drink shakes on those days that i dont? or when should i drink them? and what do you suggest mixing the powder with that will help the taste? the stuff im using now has 21g per scoop, so im having two a day, and ive been mixing it with milk...im getting used to it, but jeeze, with water it is terrible and i dont want to drink a whole lot of milk.

Find another brand. Milk will add extra calories that you might not want. Makes it taste better but..

I mix my whey shakes with water.. tastes fantastic. It's the brand. There are plenty of choices out there that when mixed with water are good tasting and mix well.
