How to use whey?

Add it in high calorie shakes if you're bulking - 500ml milk, 75g rolled oats (blended to powder), 2 tbsp peanut butter, one scoop whey (chocolate flavour works best).

You can add it to your oats with some peanut butter, too.

I've also heard of people mixing whey with some Greek yogurt and cream cheese for a high protein snack.

It's excelent for making sand castles. But then they are not sand castles, but whey castles. It doesn't matter, just make whey castles and tell everybody they are sand castles. They look similar.

Get a protein shake.

Follow instructions on the label ( 2 scoops most of the time depending on scoop size some use 3 )

Mix with skim milk or water. (recommend milk)

Take once a day and try and be consistent with the time you take it. Morning - after gym or whatever works best for you.

Keep eating just as much as you are right now. Remember it's a supplement.

I would recommend getting some creatine monohydrate powder as well. I've been taking it recently and have seen some surprisingly fast changes in shape and loss of fat - development of abs.

hope this helps.

Use it in low fat low sugar waffles and pancakes if you want. Depending on the taste and how much you use it could taste a bit off, but it's okay

I do the ketogenic diet, but I did unsweetened almond milk, 2Tbsp peanut butter, and a scoop of whey. Every now and then I'd toss in some cinnamon and/or pumpkin spice. It was actually the highlight of my day, in terms of flavor.

Really, you should try to hit your macros from whole foods; protein shakes are not necessary, but can be useful to hit your macros. Beware of their sweetener (both natural and artificial) content.

Just add water. It's there to serve a specific function, not be a fun food. Supplementing with protein won't magically make you a better lifter or improve results. It's not steroids. You need to approximate your daily macro nutrient needs and determine if you're meeting yours body's needs. You could be "supplementing with protein" but still be 60 grams below what your body needs daily.

I have this issue with my brother who's supplementing with protein and "lean shake supplements (which are bullshit BTW, it's just protein with a bunch of fiber added) but refuses to eat properly and eat clean. Hell eat ice cream, drink alcohol, eat white bread, eat cereal as a post workout meal, eat junk etc etc. His body hasn't charges in years and is in fact getting worse over time.

I mix unflavored whey with water and some creatine. That's how you use it. Squat more too.
