You may turn to protein powder for convenience, but such products do not provide a biological advantage over complete protein sources that are available in your local supermarket (regardless of what the supplement pushers claim). If you need a protein powder for convenience or portability, I suggest avoiding whey protein powder and using an egg based product instead, since whey protein powders have been said to contain MSG, which may be cancer-causing, and most whey protein powders also add other dangerous artificial sweeteners and additives to their products. Since MSG, a very dangerous additive, is often a byproduct of whey protein powder, I suggest using egg based products (not to mention you can pay less for egg protein, while avoiding MSG or the additional additives many whey powders contain).

I can recommend a specific egg based protein powder that I personally use for convenience and portability, as the product contains no artificial sweeteners or additives of any kind, and is farm fresh. But please remember that no protein powder is superior to complete protein foods such as chicken, fish, etc (the potency is identical), and should only be used for convenience or portability.

Whey protein powder is no more effective than real food for those who wish to gain muscle mass or lose fat

One of the biggest misconceptions in bodybuilding and weight loss is that certain overpriced protein powders offer a more potent form of nutrients, and thus bodybuilders find themselves spending far more than necessary for protein powder simply because a company claims their powder or liquid is slower digesting, or offers a higher biological value, when per gram, their product is no more effective than any complete protein food, or egg protein powder. Beware of this false advertising gimmick claiming superior potency, which is used by supplement companies to try and rank their protein powder above the competition.

"Love the shake - could drink it all day."

The egg protein powder I use works very well for me, and in fact, I received an email message from Mike Dunning (his MuscleNOW success story is printed in the muscle building and fat loss testimonial section), as he tried a recipe I sent him for an egg powder shake, and his quote follows:

just tried your recipe - excellent - half the volume of the shake that I made with the grape juice - I think it is the banana that helps - I think I can drink your recipe and never get tired of it.

Another customer says:

thank you for the protein shake recipe, you are right it is tasty!...I find it easy and very yummy making a lot of egg white based stuff in correct proportions etc and doing without the meat.

Lastly, a customer of mine named Craig Leonard who is pictured in the fat loss and muscle building testimonial section wrote the following:

I made one of these shakes for my pre-workout meal this morning. It was awesome! Thanks again; it was much better than the shakes that I was making before.

You should avoid ALL protein powders that contain additives or artificial sweetening (such as aspartame, sucralose, splenda, Acesulfame K, which is also called Acesulfame Potassium, etc) due to their adverse impact on health, and use egg protein powder to avoid potential health issues with whey supplements (if you own the IncrediBody Transformation Program, you will learn of my specific egg protein powder recommendations, and can email me anytime with questions).

Egg protein powder is the best alternative to whey protein powder if you wish to gain muscle mass or lose fat

Remember, muscle mass results from a potent weight training workout plan and bodybuilding diet routine, with NO supposed band-aid (such as protein powder supplementation) serving as a valid substitute. I have achieved tremendous success (over 60 pounds of muscle gained and 50 pounds of fat lost), and am now teaching men and women around the world how to produce natural results through my IncrediBody Transformation Program.
