How to Gain Weight With Whey Protein

Whey protein is a mixture of proteins found naturally in milk. It is separated from milk during the processing of cheese, resulting in a high-quality protein. It is rich in amino acids, which are important in developing and maintaining muscle mass. Whey protein is commonly used to help gain weight because it is rapidly digested by the body. There are many products containing whey protein including powders, nutritional bars and beverages.
