Too much whey vs other protein sources

[mickschumacher]

Hi,

I am using whey protein powder(concentrate), it should be from grass fed cows and it sweetened mostly by stewia.

I use daily 180g of this powder what gives me 135g of protein.

I dont see any digestion problems and everything seems to be fine. Doing it for months.

I also eat daily 300g high quality lean beef meat and 3eggs as my next protein source.

Question is – would be beneficial to lower whey protein consumption and increase beef or eggs consumption because it is “whole food” even when my digestion is great ?

Additional info- i weight around 90kg and total protein intake is arpund 270g

Do you think for example if i remove 50 of whey and instead of this i will eat can of tuna with same amount of protein it will make some difference ? Or it doesnt matter if digestion is fine.

Hunger is not the problem as well.

Thank you very much in advance.

Depends on your priorities. Not a thing wrong with Whey, but you will get some vitamins and minerals for whole food proteins like lean beef, fish, etc. For me, Whey is a convenience thing. With two active kids it’s a life saver to have a couple scoops of Whey with oatmeal powder, olive oil and a banana for a quick breakfast. The rest of the day my goal is food that I can chew but additional shakes can happen if my day goes sideways.
