1) The people who use whey protein supplements are bodybuilders and other people who partake in rigorous exercise.

2) The reason bodybuilders use whey protein is because whey is the protein most efficiently used by the body thus make it the ideal choice. Protein is what is needed to build muscle(You'll hear that alot on this board:p). Bodybuilder's require alot of protein to repair muscles as you are breaking them down during your workout. Supplementing your diet with whey protein add alot of good protein to your diet and it can be hard to get all the protein you need from just solid food not to mention exoensive whey protein is a cheap alternative.

3) You should take whey protein 2-3 times a day. I take mine after my workout and 30-60 minutes before going to bed

4) I believe #2 answers that question as well

For more info I recommend using the search option on this forum for a search on whey protein and you should find all the info you need. Hope I helped

Rite now I'm exercising 3x a week... and in process of designing my diet...

Coz I'm skinny and really need 2 bulk up, I read somewhere that you need 1 gram protein per body mass??

Is it mean that if I'm 120 lbs I'll need 120 g protein per day??
Is 120 g of protein enough for me to bulk up??

anybody can help :D

Thanks

More protein the better. Shoot for 1.5g/1 pound if you can.

Although Whey is one of the highest BV protein it is also one of the fastest acting and is best taken after training.

Nerd, why not post your diet in the 'diet' forum and people will help you.
