(Not for school, personal question) I am a 14 yr old, 15 in Jan. I lift weights and stick to a diet, recently I haven't been working out due to a hip injury that is healing slowly but surely. I have been using whey protein powder after workout, not to much as I know it is unhealthy for you (32 grams with plenty of water). I just recently found out about vegan protein and heard it is healthier then whey, not sure if I should switch to vegan or whey. I am not vegan and not thinking of switching to being vegan just wondering which is healthier and which will have side effects. I apologize for any typos, currently on mobile.

Answer:

Neither of them are exactly "healthy" but there are different effects to both

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to have amino acids in the whey protein that you choose if you want to gain muscle, so you should read the label and see which one has the essential amino acids in the whey protein because it is overall good for weight loss after a workout and gaining muscle. Whey protein is also a speedy recovery protein. Although plant based protein have less calories it is not necessarily better or healthier than whey protein.
