My question is -- why go with something which is problematical, when

there's so much good, and legal protein available on SCD?

Whey protein is processed within an inch of its life. I firmly believe

that processed foods are one of the reasons we have so many gut

issues.

Plus, I'd rather eat eggs, cheese, fish, steak, pork, lamb, chicken,

turkey, ostrich, bison and other good meats and dairy than depend on such

processed stuff.

That is a great point - why gamble with whey protein (even I get a brand that is

the most bioavailable & least de-natured out there) if there is plenty of other

protein options in meats & dairies.

My answer is that I'm looking into whey protein because I feel like I eat as

much as I can eat in a day without going over & hindering my digestion and I

still can't gain weight on this diet.

In trying to shoot for more calories & the 3 gram of protein per kilogram of

weight target in order the put on weight I often come under the mark even when I

feel like I'm stuffing myself.

Thoughts??
