2 Questions re: Whey

1st Question

I've read the Google answers, what's the real difference between sweet / acid whey and is it something I should be worried about yet?

2nd Question

If a post workout shake should contain 1g of protein per kilo of bodyweight, then using a whey protein with 71g protein per 100g, well that means each 25g scoop contains 17.75g protein. As I weigh 107 kilos, that would mean I would need 6 scoops in a PWO shake.

Can that be right or is there an upper limit I should observe?

Added to that, are my current workouts substantial enough to warrant so much protein?

I'll stop asking questions now coz I'll have to change the title of the thread if I don't

No idea where that figure has come from, I would say half that max, and also base it off lean bodyweight

Hehe... OK....

Question 1

Google led me here to www.myprotein.co.uk, (http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/protein-powders/acid-whey-protein/)

Which says:

Whey protein sourced from acid whey has numerous benefits including the fact it is particularly rich in natural beta-lactoglubin. This is the protein able to "trap" the lipidic molecule. Other benefits for whey derived from acid whey over sweet they are:
Increased amounts of naturally occurring Lactoferrin (1%).

Naturally higher Leucine levels which highly stimulates protein synthesis.

Naturally higher Cystein levels which will enable faster glutathion synthesis.

Naturally higher Typtophan levels could reduce stress and improve sleep.

Naturally higher Arginine levels could reduce blood pressure.

Question 2

Errr.... yeah, so about that figure....

Regarding shakes, I would suggest 1g protein and carbs per kilo of body weight in the post workout shake for fat loss goals. The content of other shakes would depend on the timing of them.

And so a new question arises, how does a 5' 6" 170kg chubster workout what their "lean bodyweight" is?

Oops - forgot to say - found this in PN:

Since a well-constructed high protein diet can lead to a better health
profile, an increased metabolism, improved body composition, and an improved
training response, why would anyone ever try to limit their protein intake to the
bare minimum necessary to stave off malnutrition?

By limiting protein intake, people are (often unwittingly) consuming the bare
minimum of protein, and consequently overeating carbohydrates and fats.
That's a big performance and body composition mistake.

Right, first question seems to be one of those things that only supplement companies think is worth worrying about, I just use Reflex whey and it seems to do the job fine.

Second, for some reason I typed 1 instead of 0.5...luckily in the article published internationally in a magazine I got the figure right...

Thirdly, I don't think you weigh 170k, and I would start with probably 50g whey and go from there.

1. Myprotein also says this about acid whey

This is an Acid Whey Protein. If this doesn't mean anything to you, we then recommend you choose our...............

2. 1g protein per KG bodyweight sounds more like a daily amount rather than pwo.

Coolio - clear now - cheers all
