Day 5 - FitWhitt Approved ABOUT TIME

I want to introduce you all to an amazing company and product. You might have noticed on my nutrition plan that I have incorporated the use of a casein protein as my last meal of the day. I stumbled upon About Time protein a few years ago.

 

 

The company provides a variety of products. They focus on producing a natural product with limited ingredients in delicious flavors. Their whey protein actually only has 4 ingredients: whey, stevia, xantham gum and natural flavorings. It taste great and mixes well in recipes. Each scoop of whey has 25 grams of protein for only 100 calories. It is even gluten free! If you are familiar with supplements, you might not believe everything I am saying because it is so different from everything else on the market.

 

In fact, I believe in this brand so much that I wanted to partner with them in helping you all reach your goals. They have agreed to give away one tub of the nighttime recovery in your choice of flavor: chocolate or peanut butter. This is valued at $45.99!

FitWhitt.com presents - Protein Pancakes/Whey Protein Isolate

I am loving me some Cellucor whey protein. The taste is great and the price is even better. I have been ordering mine from bodybuilding.com. They currently have a great special. My current favorite flavor is the peanut butter marshmallow. Watch the video as I prepare a weeks worth of protein pancakes using the whey protein.

Whey protein isolate is an excellent supplement. Whey protein isolate is the purest form of whey and contains little or no fat, lactose or cholesterol. The benefits of whey protein include repairing body cells, muscles and bones due to the naturally occurring branched chain amino acids. This explains why consuming whey protein immediately after exercise is very beneficial to you. Of course your first line source of protein should always be real foods in their natural state but sometimes we all need a little help. And that is when I turn to whey protein isolate. Whey protein is also the fastest digesting form of protein, which makes it an excellent source immediately post workout. Exercise literally breaks down current muscle tissue. It is very important to give your body the "building blocks" it needs immediately post workout so that it can rebuild. The muscles are literally depleted post workout and require supplementation with adequate nutrition. They are also "hungry" and ready for nutritional uptake. Keep your post workout meal to carbohydrates and proteins. Avoid fats directly after your workout.

"While your post-workout feeding should be rich protein and carbohydrate, this meal should be fat free. The consumption of essential fats is one of the most overlooked areas of daily nutritional intake but during the post workout period, eating fat can actually decrease the effectiveness of your post-workout beverage. Since fat slows down transit through the stomach, eating fat during the post workout period may slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and proteins." - source
