Top Tips for Including Quality Protein
“Little Miss Swimmer sat at the poolside, eating her casein and whey.
Along came a rival who sat down beside her and Miss Swimmer blew her competition away.”
(With apologies to fans of nursery rhymes).
Swimmers of all ages are asking about the proteins whey and casein. Are they the super stars of proteins? Should swimmers use whey and casein supplements for training and recovery? My answer is yes and no to these questions. No, supplements are not needed, and we all know that supplements can be unsafe and expensive. The “yes” part of the answer is that dairy foods are great sources of these proteins, so it is easy, less expensive and decidedly tastier to get these proteins from foods.
