American Whey protein ended up being the first protein I chose when I decided to get into a workout program. I was told protein was absolutely essential when doing exercise because your muscles can’t repair themselves without the basic nutrition but that after working out, muscle tissue is very sensitive to anything you eat. Seeing as I am one of those who has problems eating meals after a workout because they just don’t sit well in my stomach, I was skeptical taking a protein powder. I was under the assumption it would do much of the same.

I’ve been taking American Whey protein for several months and I can say that I’m neither impressed nor disappointed. It hasn’t caused me to have any increased performance, nor have I made any noteworthy gains in strength. At the same time, I haven’t lost any of my mass and my weight has stayed pretty consistent.

I started to use American Whey Protein during the season when my training shifted from more exhausting sessions to the current maintenance phase. My older proteins were higher in calories for my really stressful training leading up to the season, so when the extra calories weren’t needed, American Whey Protein looked like a good alternative. All I needed was a good protein supplement with little fat and carbs to take with a meal and maybe a few other times of the day if I wasn’t getting much into my diet that day.

I used to be an avid drinker of weight gainers and some pretty substantial protein supplements. As I aged, I noticed that my body and metabolism just weren’t what they used to be, so I began looking for a product that cut out some of the extra calories while giving me enough protein to support the muscle I spent years building as I aged. I found American Whey protein by chance, and after some short deliberation, I settled on it and began to use it.

American Whey Protein by ASN is pretty good stuff. I’ve never been a fan of taking higher calorie shakes, and when looking for a protein dense product with little excess, it has been a difficult search. American Whey Protein however gives me almost the ideal blend of what I’m looking for, and that is tough to beat.

American Whey protein is another protein that falls into the “necessary evil” category. Being an athlete, Muscle Milk had been my preferential poison for a long time, but as I’m getting older, I’ve noticed my body doesn’t exactly respond as well to the high fat content during the off season. I tend to work a lot more and am nowhere near as active when I’m in my postseason recovery, and taking muscle milk just as a protein supplement started putting on some unwanted weight. So, for the meantime, I decided to look for something a little leaner to hold me off until my training starts again.

American Whey protein from ASN nutrition is one of the few protein products that I can take and actually not despise. Where most protein powders you see will come with 20 grams of basic whey protein, they all will be packaged with a few grams of lactose. On top of that, basic proteins tend to give me a bit of gastric discomfort when I take them, and that is largely due to the high amounts of whey protein concentrate on top of the lactose. ASN’s American Whey protein has no lactose and high amounts of whey protein isolate which is much easier on my stomach and does a much better job of being digested.

American Whey Protein is a protein powder offered by ASN, and it is intended to help provide protein that I need because of my intense training schedule. I train five times a week, and I train hard. I am not talking about an hour here and there during the week, but grueling sessions that last hours and leave me exhausted and depleted. American Whey Protein is supposed to help me replace protein that my muscles need to grow and complete repairs when I am done working out. There are twenty grams of protein per serving, but do not think that this is a gainer powder, far from it. I want to gain muscle mass, not fat, and there are only one hundred and four calories per serving. This lets me get the protein I need without a lot of calories or other unwanted ingredients as well.

American Whey Protein is a protein supplement manufactured by ASN, and this product makes many claims. Are they true though, or is this just hype to draw in customers? To start with there are a number of flavors to choose from, including wildberry and peach cobbler, so I had a variety of choices. After I purchased the Tropical Banana flavor, I went home and made up a drink to see just how bad it was going to be. Many protein powders say that they offer great taste, but I know from past experience that few actually taste good. American Whey Protein surprised me, because the taste was not bad and the powder mixed together very smoothly without having to use a blender. According to the label there are twenty grams of protein in each serving, but not a lot of calories or carbohydrates so I do not get a lot of things I do not want or need.

I am officially a raving fan of american whey protein! I can’t believe how many flavors this comes in. I stood at the shelves, just staring for the longest time. The price was so good, I decided to get chocolate and vanilla. When I blended it up, it did have a bit more foam than a lot of others, but it didn’t last long. I drank it down and it tasted SO good! I am drinking two per day and I feel great. (more…)
