Looking At Two Athlete’s Diets And Protein Supplements

The myth that all athletes need extreme amounts of protein in their diets just will not go away. There is a secondary myth that goes along with that myth which says that athletes do not need to eat carbohydrates. Protein is important in the diet; however, so are the other nutrients. Finding the right balance in the diet is important not only to fuel the body before and during the workout, but also for proper recovery afterward. A diet that is too high in protein can actual hurt the athlete’s performance and can lead to dehydration and other serious problems. The average person needs to have about .6-.8 grams of protein per kilogram of their body weight; however, an athlete will need slightly more. The recommended amount will take into account the increased lean muscle mass of the athlete and the need for more energy. However, if the protein is being added in place of complex carbohydrates, there might be a bigger problem overall. There are typically two types of elite athletes, and these are the endurance athlete and the strength athlete. The endurance athlete will automatically gravitate to the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, knowing that they need the carbs to stoke up their energy stores and keep their body moving. The strength training athlete, however, will typically go for a high-protein diet thinking that it will build muscle faster, which may not be as true as he thinks. John is an elite athlete, working hard to increase his endurance and speed every day. He wants to participate in an ironman competition, with his goal being to do so in the coming year. It should be noted that John is not shy about announcing his age – he is 68 years old. His diet has always been about complex carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats. His son, Everett, is a strength trainer, a bodybuilding competitor. He has watched his dad through the years and knows the benefits of healthy eating; however, he has also become convinced that he needs twice the amount of protein that his dad does so that he can get bulky and win the next competition that he has entered. Both men are convinced that they know better than the other, but after they discuss their protein needs with a registered dietician who explains the need for protein and some warnings about consuming too much, they find out that they might be wrong. While Everett is young and strong, the dietician tells him that he actually does not need more than 30-35% of his daily calories to come from protein, or about 1.5-1.7 grams per kilogram of his bodyweight. If he really wants to bulk up and build his muscles, he needs to increase his time in the gym and pray that he gets his build from his mother’s stocky side of the family rather than from his lean and lanky dad. John, on the other hand, would benefit from increasing his protein intake slightly, not only for his endurance but because he is getting older and needs to stay strong and healthy. Both men are basically healthy because they stay at the right weight for their height, watch what they eat and always monitor their important numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels). They have both also had heart screenings to make sure that they are okay for the very strenuous workouts that they put themselves through. John and Everett have both decided to add protein supplements to their diets; John wants to add something as a boost after a long run and Everett would like to have a small supplement to use as a between-meal snack because he has been practically starving much of the time. A discussion with the nutritionist leaves both men looking at several different options for their protein supplement. They also find out exactly how many calories they need to consume each day and how many of those calories should be devoted to each of the three macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats). John tries a whey protein supplement, impressed by the fact that they have so many cardiovascular and immune benefits. Everett tries an egg protein powder supplement that is suggested by a man at the gym he works out at. After a week, John is back at the nutritionist because he is unwell and has not been able to complete his training program as he usually does. Everett’s expensive egg protein powder is sitting untouched on a shelf in his kitchen because he cannot bear drinking it any longer. He hates mixing it, he hates carrying it around with him. And most importantly, he hates the taste of the product no matter what he mixes it with. A breath test shows that John is lactose intolerant and can no longer use the whey protein supplement. Whey is derived from milk as a byproduct of the production of cheese. He needs to find a new protein supplement. Everett, on the other hand, needs a protein supplement that is easier for him to carry with him and to consume, as well as one that tastes better than the one he is unable to tolerate now. After some research, John and Everett both find Profect and Proasis, from Protica. Everett uses Profect, consuming a single serving size before meals so that he is less hungry and can keep to his healthy eating program. Profect gives him 25 grams of protein per single serving and comes in a number of flavors that have a better taste than the one that he had been using in the past. He also can carry the single or double serving vials with him in a gym bag without needing to worry about mixing a powdered supplement or whether or not it is at the right temperature. Both Profect and Proasis also provide vitamins that are vital to an overall healthy diet, including all of the day’s vitamin C and 10% of the day’s vitamin B complex. Flavors include Passion Fruit, Orange Pineapple, Ruby Melon Twist, Fuzzy Peach Nectar, Blue Raspberry Swirl, Grapefruit Mango, Fresh Citrus Berry and Cool Melon Splash. John, who has just found out that he is actually lactose intolerant after years of wondering, decides to add Proasis to his diet. This is the first all-natural liquid protein supplement and is lactose free as well as free from egg and other allergens. In addition, Proasis is also available in a number of sizes and flavors as well. John feels even better now that he is not dealing with the lactose intolerance as well as having increased his protein intake slightly. Everett also feels better and is thrilled to have a protein supplement that he is actually okay with consuming. Both men have also increased their fluid intakes along with the additional protein because of the increased risk of dehydration, especially for athletes. Both men are keeping in mind that the American Heart Association cautions against consuming more than 35% of the day’s calories from protein as well. They will continue their training and their activity level, staying healthy and fit as they strive toward their goals. They will both also continue with follow up visits with their doctor so that they can stay ahead of potential health problems.
