microwaves cause water molecules to vibrate which heats the food contained.  So heating things in microwave does not destroy the nutritional value.  For your protein power it may cause it to denature...but that would happen in your stomach anyways. so i would say you are OK microwaving your protein.

At very best your body has what's referred to as an "amino acid pool".Amino acids are parts of the protein released from their peptide bonds after digestion.Under most circumstances you'll get enough protein in your diet.Outside your AA pool protein is generally not stored.It can however be converted to fat by insulin or glucose through gluconeogenisis\nEating more will under no circumstances make you store more protein.What you may be thinking of is maintaining a positive nitrogen balance.That's important to weight lifters and athletes who train very hard.What this does is keep your body in an anabolic state and increase certain growth factors and anabolic hormones.This is done by consuming protein about every 3 hours while you're awake.Many protein feeding in equally separate intervals.\nToo much protein without proper hydration can drive your urea nitrogen too high and is a potential risk to your kidneys and liver.

You may be just replacing the weight you are losing with muscle weight.  Remember, muscle weighs more than fat.  Another thing, to lose weight, you have to burn more calories working out than you do eating.  Protein powder itself should not be causing you to not lose weight.  Try mixing it with water instead of juice.  Wait a few hours before eating after you've taken the juice.  Many people will take the shake, or even a dietary shake, and then eat right after.  It defeats the purpose of losing weight because you've just consumed two meals.  Try not to work out so much, either.  Your body needs time to heal itself.  Five times a day might be a little extensive.  Cardio should come after weight training, for maximum results.  I hope this helped.

There's no scientific evidence that Styrofoam  put in a microwave causes cancer. It may do other things though, such as melt . . so you might want to switch to plates and dishes that are intended to be placed in a microwave.\n\nHere is what has been said about styrofoam and using it in a microwave from "How Things Work". The site answers many questions about microwave ovens:\n\nhttp://rabi.phys.virginia.edu/HTW/microwave_ovens.html\n\n"What containers are not safe to use in a microwave? I am particularly concerned about Styrofoam containers as I use them to make TV dinners for my family. Is it OK to heat directly in these containers?\nThe two critical issues with containers in a microwave are (1) that they do not absorb or reflect microwaves and (2) that they tolerate high temperatures. Concerning the first issue, a container that absorbs microwaves will become extremely hot and may be damaged or destroyed. Most plastics (including Styrofoam) don't absorb microwaves and are fine. Glazed water-free ceramics and glasses are usually also fine, as long as they don't have any metallic trim. Metal dishes are a poor choice because they reflect microwaves and lead to uneven heating. Unglazed ceramics absorb water and will overheat.\n\nConcerning the second issue, many plastics melt or soften below the temperature of boiling water. Polystyrene, the plastic from which Styrofoam is made, has a glass transition temperature of almost exactly 212° Fahrenheit (100° Celsius). That means that it will begin to soften at just about the temperature of boiling water. While pure water will boil without much problem in Styrofoam, water containing dissolved solids such as sugar or salt will boil at a higher temperature and may melt the Styrofoam. You'll know when this happens...it's not really a health issue, just a potential for a messy oven. I've only encountered the problem once myself, when a Polystyrene gravy separator melted in the microwave and let the gravy spill."\n\nThe American Cancer Society also dispells the myths that heating plastic in the microwave or freezing water in plastic bottles releases toxins, like dioxin and DEHA. None of it is true, it's just urban myth and misinformation being passed around.\n\nMicrowaving Myths (American Cancer Society)\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_6_1x_Microwaving_Plastic.asp?sitearea=MED\n\nRumors, Myths, and Truths\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/med_6.asp

ive heard its good for quick weight loss but soon as you go back to normal eating the weight goes straight back on. its not really safe to eat such little kcals. much better to eat a balanced diet and go to the gym regular,.

I think if you eat something small like a granola bar or something, so you at least have some fuel (energy) to use when exercising, it is ok. I heard that if you do that, have a good work out, and then eat, it's actually better because after working out your metabolism is going fast & is ready to burn off what you eat next. I don't know if that's totally accurate, but it is what I have heard.

When I used to lift weights, I used whey protien, creatine and had success with both. I still use the whey protien and eat lots of egg whites, and chicken. You may also want to look into NO2, it is a supplement that I personally have not used, though have heard it is very good.

Creatine and Protein work when used properly.  \n\nMuscle Milk was originally developed as a dog food, and NO xplode is an arginine supplement.  So they aren't the best.\n\nI recommend AST's products \nhttp://www.ast-ss.com/\nand they offer some very good advice on how to work out on their website.\n\nAlso look for advice here:\nhttp://www.abcbodybuilding.com/

Personally, I have had the best benefits with Whey shakes.  More protein is better, rule of thumb is about your body weight in pounds equal to grams of daily protein.  Exp 150 lbs = 150 grams of protein.  You should also take a multi vitamin to help your boby utilize the protein.  Ignore the brands, read the labels.  Don't forget the carbs!  Protein is energy too but you'll need carbs to fuel your work out.  Simple carbs like sugar, high calorie deserts during or around your work and pasta, bread, grains the night before.

it's false. It's a popular myth. the fact that people go on high protein diet usualy means they cut almost all their carb intake. that is where problems can arise

I have heard that it does, as long as you don't use it to replace your meals, use it as a supplement along with meals.  Good luck

Well I've heard that it's over priced and they manipulate you into buying their LA protein bars and they make promises they can't keep...like telling you that you can lose more then 2 pounds a week...which is very unhealthy. Plus they make you eat sticks of butter and spoonfuls of mayonnaise....GROSS! Besides what kind of diet plan won't let you eat cereal!

Protein suppliments do not help teens nor older people with bulking up.  They can cause embarrassing and annoying problems - such as diarrhea and excessive f a r t i n g.  There have been some folks who overuse protein suppliments to the point that they start seeing kidney damage, which can be very serious.  \nDespite the hard work, you simply cannot overcome your genetic predisposition.  You may well never be able to bulk up like ol' Hulk Hogan.  Your real task, if you want to be in the best of shape, is to consume a properly balanced diet and to exercise regularly - which latter it does appear that you are doing.  Good for you!  That's something that everyone should do from adolescence on.  Just be aware that appearance is not everything: you see few world-class soccer players who're bulked up like a Chicago Bears center, but those guys are actually in better shape than that center!  The Bear looks mighty strong, with muscles bulging everywhere - and he is, but still, he is not in as good a shape as those slenderer, less musclebound soccer lads.\nLastly - yes, protein suppliments are made from natural ingredients - but that does not mean they're a good idea.  Go back to what I said about the risks.

Instantized protein is just protein that is made so that it can mixed easily with a spoon.\nOther proteins when mixed with a spoon may clump up or sink to the bottom of your cup. \n\ntheres nothing wrong with natural protein though and if you get a shaker cup and shake it up you most likely wont get any clumps.\n\nIf you want some good protein that is cheap go to http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/hp/whey.html\nthis stuff is good and you can get 10 pounds for around $50\nAlso bodybuilding.com can give you good info if you have any further questions.\n\nYou can email me at xxgremlinxwp@sbcglobal.net  if you need any more assistance id be glad to help.

No, protein doesn't burn fat.  \n\nIt does take longer to metabolize than carbs though, but not as long as dietary fat.\n\nBTW, peanut butter is 75% fat, not a high source of protein.
