Im 13 and almost 14 and wanted to to try this whey protein stuff to get a little bigger and i was wondering what to mix it with and how much to use? Also does it make a difference what i mix it with?
Whey protein is normally mixed with milk, skim milk, soy milk or water. Since you are young, your probably better of with 2% or whole milk. The milk fat and lactose sugars would be beneficial since you are still growing. After all, cows milk is what a calf drink to grow.
Only old folks like me need to worry about fats and sugars. For some older than twenty, they may want to use skim milk. For the true dieters, use plain water (yuck).
The only difference is how much fat, sugar and calories are you adding by mixing with 2% milk versus skim or water. 2% milk will have more of all those, skim milk some and water none. You can just read the nutrition label to find out the details.
And taste is another factor. Whey protein doesn't taste that good. So, for me, mixing in milk helps. Using water must taste awful.
People add fruit, yogurt and chocolate syrup too. Again, you just have to consider your goal (add bulk or weight loss) and determine if you want the extra calories.
And just FYI: Some other answer recommended taking 30 grams of protein in a shake. Your body can't absorb more than 20 grams of protein in a single meal. Take more than that at one time and all you get is expensive urine. To bulk up, you would be better off with two 20 protein gram shakes 2 hours apart than one shake at 30 grams.
