Whey protein isolate undergoes processing to lower the amounts of fat and carbohydrates, resulting in a higher protein ratio. Whey protein isolate is a high protein source of fuel.
Many people do not get enough protein from dietary sources alone to maintain muscle building and prevent breakdown, the evidence has shown that sedentary individuals require at least 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight. This goes up to over 1 g/kg of body weight for elderly and active adults. That translates to almost 50 g of protein a day for an average 60 kg (132 lbs.) women (assuming the bare minimum 0.8).
