No, you wasted your money. Protein is not calculated based on your weight in pounds, it is calculated on your weight in kilograms. It is important for people on high protein diets to exercise, because it can help the kidneys flush wastes out of your system more effectively. Another issue regarding getting too much protein is that it leeches calcium from the bones. Digesting protein releases acids that the body usually neutralizes with calcium and other buffering agents in the blood. So if you aren't getting enough calcium, your body will take calcium from your bones. Doing it for a long time, though, could weaken bone.

You don't need to eat meat, eggs and drink milk either in order to gain any muscle mass. Protein is the last thing that your body uses as energy. Remember, your body can only use a certain amount of protein, and after that the rest just gets excreted in your urine. That is why protein powders are a waste, just like most vitamin supplements.

Over-consumption of whey protein can cause kidney problems. Kidneys act as filters of the body and remove the waste substances. If whey protein is consumed in excess, it enhances the pH of the blood and increases acidity in the blood. As a result, it becomes difficult for the kidneys to metabolize these proteins. There are chances that your kidneys may get affected. This is because these organs have to work harder to remove the excess protein not being absorbed by the body.

Whey protein can also damage the liver. I is believed that accumulation of excessive whey protein increases the ketone level in the blood causing ketosis of liver. More protein causes more pressure on the liver, thereby damaging the liver. This can happen due to excessive intake of whey protein.You are supposed to get your proteins from whole foods.
Whey can give you stones if you don't exercise enough. Drink plenty of fluids,.

Eat beans and peas like: black beans, black-eyed peas,chickpeas (garbanzo beans), falafel, kidney beans, lentils, lima beans (mature), navy beans, pinto beans, soy milk, split peas, tofu (bean curd made from soy beans), white beans
tempeh, etc.

Nuts & seeds: almonds, cashews, hazelnuts (filberts), mixed nuts, peanuts, peanut butter, pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts

How to Calculate Your Protein Needs:

1. Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg
2. Weight in kg x 0.8-1.8 gm/kg = protein gm.

Example: 154 lb male who is a regular exerciser and lifts weights
154 lbs/2.2 = 70kg
70kg x 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day

where did you get it at? ive never heard of that brand or seen it online where i get my supps. the only whey i use is optimum nutrition natural whey.

whey protein is ESSENTIAL to take after to lift, its a fast acting protein. your muscles need a direct source of protein and whey is the best and most usable. even tho something may have 20g of protein, you may be only able to use 8g of it, or more or less, depending on the source of protein. casein is good to take at night since it is a slow digesting protein that feeds your muscles over night.

if you are serious about lifting i recommend "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" it is the bible of bodybuilding.

personal and books about lifting.

Why not just eat natural foods that contain all the nutrients we need instead of taking supplements.
