Can whey protein help with weight loss?
Protein is the most satiating out of the macronutrients meaning it can help you to manage your energy intake. To achieve weight loss, you must achieve a calorie deficit over a consistent period of time. Being able to manage your overall energy intake makes this easier to achieve.
Will whey protein make you gain weight?
When it comes to gaining weight, managing overall energy intake is key. If you consistently eat in a calorie surplus no matter where that energy is coming from, weight gain will occur. Whey protein is a high-quality source of protein that will support your overall protein intake which in turn supports muscle growth, recovery and retention. If you're looking to increase your muscle mass, best practice would require you to consume adequate amounts of protein, eat in an energy surplus consistently and have an effective weight training programme. Whey protein therefore can be a helpful factor if looking to increase weight however it alone will not cause weight gain.

No it is not dairy free however at Kinetica we have a range of Plant Protein options for you to choose from if you’re looking for a dairy free protein powder or if you are comfortable consuming dairy but struggle to digest lactose, our Clear Whey is a good option too.
