Protein Q&A
Q. Even if you shake it firmly, it will become lumpy. Is there a way to make it easier to dissolve?
A. Due to the characteristics of protein, it is difficult to dissolve. We recommend using a shaker first. If using a shaker, add liquid first, then protein. Even if you don't use a shaker, it's better to put the liquid in the container first to avoid lumps. If you still get lumps, try shaking horizontally instead of vertically .
Q. Is there any other way to use it other than dissolving it in water or milk?
A. Basically, we recommend that you use it as written in the usage instructions. In some cases, it can be used by mixing with food, but it may be difficult to use, such as the taste does not match.
I have a recipe that uses protein, so please refer to it.
Q. Can I use it as a meal replacement?
A. Protein is not a meal replacement . It just fills in the gaps. However, if you skip meals without eating three meals, it would be better to take protein alone.
Q. Is it okay for children to drink protein?
A. Basically, it is ideal to cover nutrition with meals. However, children who are exercising need to supplement both "nutrition for growth" and "nutrition for exercise".
☆When you can't eat as usual due to loss of appetite
☆When you are satisfied with a single dish
☆ When you don't eat protein with meals
☆When you don't eat after exercise
If so, you may be protein deficient. You could try adding protein. However, it is important to make sure that your diet is well-balanced and nutritious.
If you use protein, use kid's (junior) protein.
Q.Is it okay to make it in advance?
A. We do not recommend making ahead of time. Bacteria may grow and the nutritional value may decrease. Try to make it just before drinking as much as possible.
Q. Should I drink protein even on days when I don't exercise?
A. It is desirable to take it on rest days between exercises. Muscles are metabolized for recovery for 48-72 hours after exercise. Protein is needed at that time, so it is recommended to take it even on days when you do not exercise.
However, if you don't exercise at all for many days in a row, you probably don't need protein.
Q. Even if I drink protein, I can't easily build muscle.
A. Protein does not make your muscles bigger just by drinking it. Exercise, nutrition, and rest all contribute to muscle growth. If you feel that your muscles are not getting bigger even if you drink protein, try to be conscious of these three first.
In particular, reducing the amount of food more than necessary for dieting etc. hinders muscle growth.
Q. I heard that drinking protein makes you fat, is that true?
A. It depends on the situation at that time and the type of protein, but drinking it does not make you fat. The amount of protein that can be used at one time varies depending on the intensity of exercise and the person. Even if you want to build muscle, if you eat a lot of protein at once, the unused portion may turn into fat.
