re: Tips on maintaining high dietary protein

My question is: is powdered protein bioavailable in the same way, say, steak is? If all I ate were a diet of protein powder mixed in water, would it register as basically "carnivore"?

depends on the type of protein.

protein bioavailability is scored on the high Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score or simply by bioavailability.

using the bioavailability score whey concentrate would be 104

whey isolate would be 159

egg whites would be 100

beef would be 92-96


on the high Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score whey isolate scores 1 which is perfect score same as eggs and milk. beef is 92

as far as they making you carnivore....no that would be a protein sparing modified fast.
