Weight loss - Muscle building - Protein

Why you need Protein ?

Thermogenesis is the natural increase in the energy your body uses after eating. Protein causes a higher rate of dietary thermogenesis than other nutrients — research in the Nutrition & Metabolism journal explains that eating protein can actually allow the body to blast through up to 20-30% more calories than carbohydrates or fat

The government recommends that the baseline requirements for adults is 0.75g of dietary protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day

To maximize muscle growth, research from the Journal of Sports Sciences recommends consumption of between:

• 1.3-1.8g per kilogram of bodyweight per day (the amount between these two points depends on training status) and;
  

  ---

• Up to 1.8-2g per kilogram of bodyweight per day during periods of energy restriction to prevent muscle loss – more than double the government recommendations.

I think in general it would be better to make your own blend rather than buying a blend. If you need it just before bed, Casein is fine. If you need a blend for post workout or between meals, half a scoop of whey and casein does the same thing.

If you want it all in one container, then there's Combat Powder, Dynamite Elite XT, BodyStrong, Ultimate Nutrition Syntha Gold. Still filler but slightly less so, typically 34g scoop for 25-26g of protein.

NutraBio Muscle Matrix Protein is probably the best, 30.5g scoop for 29.66g of blended protein.

Rivalus Promisil is probably second best, 30g scoop for 24g of protein.
