Whey protein is a pretty standard supplement these days, even used in many processed foods as a way to improve the texture and nutrition of the product. Most of the time, though, this whey comes from cow's milk. There's another milk-producing animal, however, that goes under appreciated – especially in the United States: the humble goat. Just like cow's milk, goat's milk can be separated into its individual proteins, including whey. And goat whey might be a better choice for some people. B...

Peanut butter has been a staple of bodybuilders and athletes for a very long time. In one convenient, delicious package, peanut butter delivers a respectable dose of protein, healthy fat and slow carbs. But, old school peanut butter is not without its problems. And, over the past few years, a new alternative – powdered peanut butter – has popped up. What are the advantages of powdered peanut butter vs traditional peanut butter?

Most of the time, store-bought protein bars really aren't the best nutritional choice you could make. Stuffed with added sugar, preservatives and other additives, these products tend to have more than you would think in common with candy bars. Fortunately, you can get around this by craft your own protein bars. Here's a recipe, to get you started, for a delicious coconut and vanilla whey protein bar. ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder ¼ cup shredded coconut, toasted ¼ cup coconut f...

In theory, bulking seems like it would be incredibly easy and – more importantly – lots of fun. The reality, though, is that eating all those extra calories that you need to gain weight can be an overwhelming, time-consuming and expensive venture. Just to put this into prospective, consider this: An average-sized guy might need to eat close to 3000 calories each day to gain any noticeable weight. That averages out to about 95oz of chicken breast each day. The solution, then, is to drink...

The Ketogenic Diet – an ultra-low calorie eating program that requires you to keep your daily carb intake below 50g – has been around for a very long time. In fact, it was originally designed to help prevent and control seizures. These days, though, the Ketogenic Diet is more commonly used to achieve rapid weight loss. To be fair, it's effective for both these purposes. But, as mentioned, the Ketogenic Diet is all about reducing carbs as much as possible. When you do that, though, you s...
