I think the real question is what is your Bady Fat percentage?
I was thinking the same method as yours, I'm 5'-11" 195 with a Beer Belly with 20% body Fat. But my personal Trainer has me on a eating regiment that includes whey Protien among natural protien.
not the answer your looking for i'm sure.

natural whole protein from the food we eat is a better protein.. whey is one of the fastest absorbing.. a lot of the whey is used for energy immediately after a routine..
It's important to have high quality carbohydrates after your workout.. It's not necessity that you cram 30G(or more) of protein immediately after your workout..
Protein synthesis is a lengthy process.. it can go anywhere from 24 to 78 hrs.. so its good to consume good quality protein after you finish workouts for the next day or so.. ( and not just immediately after )
It's understood that for each pound of body weight its reccommended to get (1-1.5grams/lb of weight) daily.

Good luck.

Fat doesn't turn to muscle, they are completely different. In answer to your question I would advise you try to put on muscle before you lose fat. The reason being is that it is far easier to put on muscle mass when the body knows it has another large source of energy (eg. fat). You will find it is easier to burn fat because muscle growth promotes a faster metabolism. In either choice you make yes whey protein is desirable so long as you are doing weight training and you are having it with water after a workout. Too many idiots have it with milk which defeats the purpose.

Milk contains casein, which slows down the absorption of protein when digested. After a weights session your body requires protein ASAP to repair muscle tissue. Water gets through your body quicker than anything else.

I didn't see that you said for after a workout. I see that now and understand where your coming from.

The information is very interesting. It made me understand something about whey protein, and it is that I never knew before.

:lol: Too funny.
Milk contains Casein, which IS a protien derived from MILK. It doesn't slow the absorbtion of protien because Casein is the main protien, in MILK.
Fats slow the absorbtion of protien
.
Whey, is another protien which is derived from milk.
Milk is made up of aprox 20% Whey protien, and 80% Casien protien. They make both protiens in concentrated powder form by dehydrating MILK. :lol:
Of the 2 protiens Whey is the faster digesting, which is why it's the optimal choice post workout.
After a workout you would still be wise to mix your Whey powder with milk to up your drinks overall protien content. The prudent thing to do would be to choose Skim/Low fat milk, to avoid the slowing effect/absorbtion of protien that FATS cause.

A friend of mine reckons it absorbs quicker with cranberry juice than water.

After your workout your body tolerates insulin much better because it wants to shuttle nutrients into muscle rather than store as fat. Therefore a good recovery drink should have around a 4:1 ratio of simple carbohydrates to protein to replenish muscle glycogen and afford much needed amino acids to the worked muscles. Weight loss inevitably is about calories in vs caloric expenditure AND nutrient timing so if you want to avoid fat loss but perform well consume fast digesting carbs and proteins immediately after training the rest of the time stick to whole foods that digest slowly IMO

Coconut water is the best sports drink. Tuna and other fish and chicken, rabbit or goat meat are good natural sources of protein. As are almonds, pecans etc. Avocados are a great food source as well for protein and healthy fats your body needs to function properly.

Whey is used in a lot of diets because it actually helps to keep you fuller longer. My girlfriend was using it as a weight loss tool and really liked its results, but I'm not sure how it would be for gaining muscle afterwards. You may have to switch to a different kind of protein powder. But like everyone is also saying, make sure to have a high protein diet and eat a lot of veggies along with your protein shakes.
