What percent of your daily protein intake comes from Whey?

Sup, misc?

Was thinking about Whey today and I started wondering how much other lifters consume on a daily basis. More specifically, I was wondering whatpercentof their total protein intake comes from Whey.


My Whey intake looks like this:

20g basically right when I wake up (went totally catabolic overnight, bro!) while I am cooking my breakfast.

30g when I get home from the gym (muh anabolic window, bro!) with dinner usually just a couple of hours after that.

I currently average 230-250 grams oftotalprotein intake per day, meaning Whey accounts for about20-22%of my total protein intake.


I feel like that's an okay amount - I could probably find ways to replace a little bit of that with other sources of protein, but it's so convenient and it's not like I'm drinking 30g morning, noon, night like some dudes do.


So misc, what percent of your total protein intake comes from Whey?


P.S. this is not a thread meant to argue on the merits of whey itself, or different brands or anything like that. Just looking to see how much people tend to consume each day.

Currently eating 262g protein daily and 72g of that comes from protein powder.

So a little higher than you, coming in around 27%.

About 27.5% - do you consume it in one big shake or is it split up throughout the day?

About 30%. A lot of the time I'm too lazy or can't be bothered to cook up something heavy in protein, so i just mix up a protein shake

I split it up. I have 3 regular food meals, then a shake between breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one before bed.

Yeah man I hear ya. That used to be about where I was too - used to drink 30g in the morning and 50g after workout, but then I decided a little more meat would probably do me good.

Now I cook up a few pounds of chicken, throw it in the fridge, and will literally just go to the fridge and eat a few bites of it here and there each day over the course of a week. By the end of the week it's dry and I hate it, but it is convenient and doing it this way makes it super easy to get a few extra grams in here and there throughout the day - makes hitting protein goals really easy.

Used to be high. Like 3 scoops per day. Lately I’ve switched to trying to get it through food and I’ve been on a kick from Fairlife core power. High in protein and also potassium which I’ve had problems getting enough of.

What's your total protein intake each day though? Just estimate if you don't track very closely.

Yeah I have no issues with it.

And I don’t just use whey. I do use whey, but I also use blends of milk, beef, egg, etc.

I know it sounds a whole lot like something out of a Flex magazine, but I usually will use one of those blends before bed because it releases more slowly lol. For example Old School Labs is Milk, Egg, Beef and I’ll use a scoop of that before bed.

zero, well directly. I drink a glass of Fairlife milk a day and put 2-4 table spoons of heavy cream in my coffee but that's it.

Whey powder does not agree with me, I use unflavored dehydrated egg whites instead.

I think it was MRE lite I was looking at and surprised that beef was the #1 protein (when they say animal I did expect it to be geleton protein) but then it is pea and brown rice protein over the chicken and salmon portions, was disappointed to see that.

Shoot you're leading the pack ITT for percent whey per day bruh lol.

Do you see any benefits other than convenience? Or is that your primary driver for drinking that much?

Yeah the 'slow release' thing makes me curious about other options, like you said or casein or something. I'm not competitive or max-effort though so realistically for me it would just be unimportant minutiae lol.

When I’m cutting or going on a clean bulk I’ll switch food out for shakes, can’t be that calorie/protein ratio (60 grams for 320 calories) not to mention its super easy to keep track off

None, at least not in shake form. Hit around 200g of protein a day from food alone.

whey is unarguably the best source of pure protein as it is literally designed to be the easiest on your digestive system and the most low fat content and the highest absorption of any other source of protein. So anyone who hates on whey is 100% just assuming its a "supplement" and has some misguided broscience belief that "supplements" arent real and the body doesnt absorb them.

Total broscience and totally false

Plenty of pro bodybuilders and athletes get the majority, yes the majority of their protein from whey, 60% is about what I have seen for the top end.

The only thing you have to worry about is creating food sensitivities because of having some sort of digestive issue(like being sick or developing sibo/some other gut disorder) when you consumed whatever food, but this goes for any food, but if you are consuming whey 3 times a day the chances of it being in your stomach when you have said issue is high, so thats where digestive distress from Whey comes from. Youll notice these same people will end up usually developing more food sensitivities due to the same issue.

Ive consumed whey for 50% of my meals on average for years. I do use Dymatize iso hydrolized whey though for better digestive quality and it tastes amazing.

0 most days, beef jerky is probably half my average intake TBH; 10 pound bag of Dakota Trails jerky for ~$90. Usually only have whey maybe 1-2 times a month now, if I'm in a rush and not hungry or don't feel like eating, which is rare.

Sounds delicious, I like beef jerky myself, but aren’t you concerned about the sodium content?
