Pro-Rated Whey Protein

I been working out for almost two years with no type of supplements. I run two miles a day and lift Mon-Wed-Fri and wanted to know the benefit of whey protein. Will I lose any weight with these things or what I need more info. I just want to stay and shape and possibly take a glass of this thing before the gym or run a day and no more so what should I do.
 
Whey wont help you lose weight. It's used to help you meet your protein needs for building lean muscle, i.e. body building.

And you use it POST workout, along with some simple carbs to feed your muscles.

Whey protein is cheap

No, you will not lose weight by eating whey protein anymore than you would lose weight by eating tuna or donuts.

If you want to stay in shape, exercise more and eat slightly less food.

Oh yeah, do not forget to drink plenty of water.
 
I recommend egg protein since it is higher quality protein then whey and since it is very lower calorie if your interested in losing weight.

Will this whey stuff lower my body fat percentage?

Whey does not have any fat in it. The whey you eat that is not used for protein or energy will be converted into fat.

BTW, whey is a milk protein.
