Weekend Q&A: Whey vs. Plant Protein, Essential Amino Acids, Too Much Protein Myth
Today we're answering a question about protein intake and supplementation. We'll cover the differences between protein sources, optimal timing, and what happens if you exceed your target intake.
Veronica asked 5 sub-questions:
- Does every Whey Protein Isolate contain all essential amino acids?
- Are Essential Amino Acids supplements needed if one meets the daily protein intake from animal protein?
- Would plant protein have the same effect?
- Would it matter or would it be better if I take most my protein in my breakfast and dinner and not so high at lunch?
- What happens in the body if I go above the target protein intake? Will my body use it or store it? Can glycogen be converted to glucose?
