Is it better to drink protein or to eat foods that have high amounts of it?
Q. I want to consume protein to help my muscle growth. But I have questions: Is it better to drink protein (protein drinks, or add protein powder to a drink) or to eat foods with high amounts of it (I prefer meat: roasted beef/steak)? Is their any pros & cons to eating it or drinking it? Is one healthier than another. If you have any tips for me I would appreciate those too. Thank you.
Asked by Elena E - Sat Jul 19 15:11:49 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you cannot get at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight from regular food, which many people cannot, then supplementing protein is a good idea. Another reason people use it is for convenience. The best time for protein is within 30 min after your workout. It's easier to just mix up a shake than to cook up a steak, especially if you go to a gym.
