If you’re trying to gain muscle, it’s recommended that you eat approximately 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram. For many people, these numbers are difficult to hit. Although it’s entirely possible to do this without protein shakes, they are one of the easiest and most convenient methods for getting extra protein in your diet. 

Especially when used alongside plenty of high-protein whole foods like eggs, fish, chicken, and lentils, that extra scoop of protein will help you hit your protein goals day in and day out.

Getting enough protein in your diet is key to staying alert and focused throughout the day. If you’ve noticed you’ve been struggling to make it through tough workouts, or even just struggling with efficiency in your everyday life, then using whey will likely have a big impact on how you feel.

One of the most advantageous things about protein powder, especially for those trying to lose weight, is how delicious it is while still being relatively low-calorie. If you can’t stay away from less healthy treats, protein powder can be a great alternative. 

Especially with all the exciting flavors covered in this article, you could certainly treat protein shakes as a dessert alternative in your diet, or as a protein booster to whatever baked goods you like to make. This means implementing whey in your diet may help you cut back on other sugary sweets, and replace them with more protein-packed options.

Creatine is one of the most popular supplements out there and is offered by Myprotein. If you’re not familiar with it, creatine is designed to increase your performance specifically in intense, short bursts. 

This makes it ideal for all types of weightlifters, as well as other explosive athletes including football players and sprinters. Creatine is a perfect partner to whey for maximizing muscle growth and overall performance. 

Keep in mind that the effects of creatine may not match up with your goals and may have some side effects, including unwanted water retention. Be sure to do your research before beginning to use it.

Especially if you’re struggling to cut back on sugary snacking, Myprotein has got you covered. They have a wide range of healthier snack options ranging from protein bars and wafers, to protein chips. While these are quite expensive, they may help you out if you find that frequent snacking is getting in the way of your goals.

Myprotein also offers vitamins that may help you achieve a more overall balanced diet. These include basic multivitamins for both men and women, as well as specific supplements like Omega-3 and D3. 

Vitamins are a great addition to any athlete’s diet, as they can help with both mental and physical performance. Especially with many of their vitamin prices similar to those of other top brands, picking up some vitamins may be worth your while if you’re already purchasing something else.

Finally, Myprotein has its own apparel and accessory line which has practically everything you need as a gym goer. On the apparel side, they have both men’s and women’s clothes ranging from jackets and sweaters to underwear and socks, and everything in between. 

In terms of their accessories, they offer shakers for their protein products, gym bags, towels and even training equipment. This equipment includes boxing gloves, lifting belts, gymnastic rings, and yoga mats. As you can see, Myprotein has almost anything you need for your active lifestyle.

This comes down to a matter of personal preference. While it will likely taste better with milk or in a smoothie, if you want to avoid the extra calories, it will work perfectly fine with water instead.

No, while protein powders are processed and used for dietary supplementation, it’s still commonly misunderstood that protein powder is something other than a food product. While other Myprotein supplements may not be suitable for you, protein powder shouldn’t cause problems. 

Unless you’re allergic to one of the ingredients, there should be no side effects to the product. Or if you have problems with digesting lactose, as Whey Concentrate can cause GI issues.

No, because whey is a product derived from dairy, it is not suitable for vegans. It is completely suitable for vegetarians, however. If you are vegan, Myprotein does offer dairy-free proteins made from soy, pea, and brown rice respectively.

With a wide variety of flavors to choose from, it may be difficult to decide which type of Myprotein Impact Whey to go with. We decided to go with vanilla as our top pick for its smooth taste and versatility. 

Hopefully, this guide helped you make up your mind. As we’ve covered, Myprotein has much more to offer than just protein powder, which makes them a great choice for any of your fitness needs.
