Ubermensch 0 Share Posted September 7, 2005 No, whey protein doesn't aggrevate acne or cause breakouts. I am very susceptible to breakouts but I have been fine with whey. I take around 120g of whey protein daily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Testosterone 0 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Let's say you weigh 100 pounds, You should be talking 125-150 grams of protein. Doesn't mean you take it all of whey protein, you just supplement, hence the name "supplement". Let's say you want to get 150 grams intake of protein, and you get about 50 grams of protein from foods, then only supplement and take 100 grams, catch my drift, it's only a supplement and not the full source of protein.

SuperCelebs 0 Share Posted September 8, 2005 ya you should try only taking 2-3 scoops of the whey protein per day if you would like to save money and get a lot of protein from eating food.. protein supplements arent that cheap so try and get as much protein from food as you can.. things like chicken/turkey breast and fish are good sources of protein.

stephsteph 0 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Too much protein will just end up being excreted through the urine and sweat. I don't know about you, but I find the smell of ammonia to be revolting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
