melanie4720 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Would this protein powder be okay for Whole 30? I know they recommend eating real food and not using protein powder, but I do think protein shakes made with homemade almond milk after a workout are helpful in muscle growth and recovery. http://www.jayrobb.com/protein/egg-white-protein-unflavored-24-oz.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted June 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2015 There are no protein powders that are considered suitable for Whole30. We highly recommend that you eat your food, liquid food does not send the same signals of satiety to your brain. Eat the eggs, don't drink processed powdered egg.

melanie4720 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 @ladyshanny thank you for responding. I guess I'm confused though because in the book it says "However, protein powder from approved ingredients like crickets (in Chapul bars) or 100% egg white are allowed on the Whole30, provided they contain no sweeteners. As always, though, liquid food is still not encouraged. Got it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm right there with you Ladyshanny, but the official can i have guide says this: However, protein powder from approved ingredients like crickets (in Chapul bars) or 100% egg white are allowed on the Whole30, provided they contain no sweeteners. As always, though, liquid food is still not encouraged. Got it? - See more at: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/#sthash.OEpYeVh1.dpuf OP, you know we don't recommend it, so why skirt around at the edge of compliance? Why not try following our recommendations too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 @ladyshanny thank you for responding. I guess I'm confused though. Yeah, sometimes we moderators confuse strong recommendations with rules, because we know following the recommendations makes such a huge difference--like literally the difference between not seeing a lot of improvement and "feeling the magic". We want you to feel the magic, but yeah, in this case you get to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i am on a diet cuz im a fat guy Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Someone told me that nativas hemp protein powder was compliant because it is only one ingredient, hemp. But they also said it's not reccomended because the whole 30 wants you to chew food. In my own personal opinion though I think the hemp protein powder is very healthy because it has a lot of other health benefits besides protein, such as iron, potassium, fiber, and magnisium.

Carlaccini Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Honestly speaking - you would probably get more iron, potassium, fiber, and magnesium from eating real nutrient dense food rather than something that came in powdered processed form.

LucieB Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I've tried that Jay Robb egg powder stuff, sipped a smoothie a training partner made. It's disgusting. Bad texture, taste, clumpy, sticky, bleck. Nativas hemp protein powder 1 serving: 12 g protein, 15% iron, 380 mg potassium, 1g fiber, 260 mg magnesium. 4oz chicken: (like from a real chicken): 34.8 g protein, 8% iron, 287 mg potassium, 0 g fiber, 32.4 magnesium. canned tuna in water: 42 g protein, 14% iron, 391 mg potassium, 0 g fiber, 44.6 mg magnesium. In my own personal opinion, I think the real food wins. It's frustrating to see people saying "I know...but..." and perusing the aisles looking for these "compliant" foods. You signed on for a challenge, challenged yourself! And I mean this with nothing but Whole30 love, but guys it's only a 30 day challenge. At least try the recommendations, see what happens. Quit shopping for crap powders and looking to take the easy, SAD, old-way-of-eating style for just the next 30 days. Lucie ex protein powder slammer, who through the last 4 years of long course endurance training has not needed protein powders to help with muscle growth or recovery.

i am on a diet cuz im a fat guy Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 im not saying its better than real food, i'm just saying its ok. just because real food is better doesnt mean the hemp protein is poison or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 just because real food is better doesnt mean the hemp protein is poison or anything. yeah. we aren't saying hemp protein is poison either. It's just that sometimes people get the idea (because of marketing, I suppose?) that food developed in a lab and made into a powder is somehow necessary or better than real food. It's not. Real food is always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Defenitely not saying it's poison either. In fact I do own some. (Can't even tolerate good quality whey protein powders) but I haven't touched this stuff in a really, REALLY long time. It's not ideal, it's not satiating, and it's kind of a cop out for not wanting to sit down to a real meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
