Why Whole Food Is Better Than Any Supplement!
Whole foods are always better than processed foods and supplements.
Whole foods include things like meat, dairy, nuts, beans, fruits, and vegetables that have little to no processing, and are still in their whole natural form.
If you want to perform your best and live healthily, then whole foods are the way to go. Supplements are ok if you need something quick and easy, but whole foods need to be your solid base of nutrition.

How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?
Protein is the building block used to create new cells. This includes anything from new skin cells to muscle tissue.
Protein is also an energy source and, though, it provides the same amount of energy as carbohydrates, it is not a good energy source. It has a long metabolic process, requiring a lot of energy to break down, and gives you a very slow and weak energy source.
This is great for people trying to cut back on carbohydrate intake, or to lose weight, but is not good for high performance and function.
To function at your best, you should use carbohydrates for fuel and protein for recovery.
