1. 1, do not take it on an empty stomach. Eating protein powder on an empty stomach will be consumed as a general "hot food", wasting valuable high-quality protein sources. So, eat some other foods before or at the same time as eating protein powder. Patients can only eat liquid, and can add protein powder to milk, soybean milk, cereal, malt extract and other foods to eat together.

1.2, eat warm or cold, not hot or hot. Whey protein powder contains many active substances with special physiological functions. They are all afraid of heat, and once heated, they will lose their activity, thus greatly reducing their biological potency. Therefore, whey protein powder must not be cooked or burned, but can only be dissolved (mixed) in water, porridge, malt extract and other foods below 40℃, and can also be eaten as a cold drink.

1.3, controlled by adding spices. Protein powder can be added to various foods, such as sweet with sugar and salty with salt, but not too much. Because too much sugar and salt intake is not good for human health. Also, don't add monosodium glutamate to eat protein powder, because protein powder itself has a certain flavor, and the proportion of amino acids in whey protein powder is better, and monosodium glutamate is a component of monosodium glutamate, which decomposes glutamic acid after metabolism in the body. Adding monosodium glutamate to protein powder is tantamount to gilding the lily.

2. The misunderstanding of edible protein powder

2. 1, eating meat will make you fat, so eat protein powder.

Many people think that protein only has meat, and eating more meat is easy to gain weight, so eat less meat and eat more protein powder.

First of all, lean meat is not high in calories, and eating meat has nothing to do with gaining weight. In addition, besides meat, there are many protein in many plant foods, such as tofu and dried tofu. Even a bowl of rice we usually eat contains 6 or 7 grams of protein.

2.2, eating protein powder can lose weight.

"High protein diet" has always been very popular, and many people believe it.

This diet advocates that people only eat protein food such as protein powder, and do not eat fat and sugar, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight.

In fact, gaining weight is mainly because the energy eaten is greater than the energy consumed, which leads to energy being stored in the body. Therefore, to lose weight, the most fundamental thing is to increase energy consumption and reduce energy intake.

If you eat too much protein powder, too much protein will turn into fat, which will become your body fat. Moreover, eating only high-protein foods will easily lead to excessive intake of protein, which will lead to the lack of other nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc., and will also lead to malnutrition. Excessive intake of protein will also increase the burden on the kidneys, probably because of the failure to lose weight.

3. Side effects of protein powder

3. 1. All protein will be decomposed into amino acids in the digestive tract after oral administration, and then absorbed by the body.

3.2. Long-term intake of too much protein will increase the risk of cancer.

3.3. Excessive intake of protein is not only a waste, but also harmful to human health, because the accumulation of decomposition products of protein in the body will affect normal liver and kidney function and low immunity, and excessive intake of animal protein will also induce heart disease. Therefore, as long as our daily diet structure is reasonable, there is no need to supplement protein powder.

Who needs protein powder supplement?

1. Newborns should not eat protein powder. They should choose milk powder with protein content of 10%~20%.

2. For healthy people, as long as they adhere to a normal diet and a variety of foods, they can completely meet the human body's demand for protein, and there is no need to supplement protein powder. Moreover, the psychological enjoyment and sensory stimulation brought by food can not be replaced by protein powder.

3. Gout patients should carefully choose to eat protein powder with soybean protein as the main component. Because the purine in soybean will increase uric acid in the body and promote or aggravate gout. However, some brands of soybean protein powder have undergone special treatment. For example, Baojikang's soybean protein powder does not contain purine.

4. For the special population in need, besides supplementing essential amino acids through food, protein powder can be appropriately selected as a supplement to protein, but the dosage of protein powder must be paid attention to. Excess white matter not only makes people obese, but also increases the metabolic burden of liver and kidney, which may affect its function over time.
