Notes:
I'm going to make more of an effort to watch my protein intake and keep it around one gram per pound. I've been reluctant to use much whey because I can't seem to find a straight answer to whether or not it causes too large of an insulin spike. That fact that it does spike insulin seems to be universally accepted. The effect of that spike on leaning out seems to be less clear.
However I am starting a new three week ladder program and am going to need all the recovery help I can get. Also, while I have not yet reached my ultimate body composition goal, I have leaned out sufficiently to be happier with my appearance. So I am willing to spend a few weeks on a science experiment. I'm going to hit the whey heavy for the next three weeks and see what happens.

Brent,
Try putting a scoop of cinnamon in the protein. It is known to help curb the insulin spike, if you are worried about it. I try to avoid insulin spikes early in the day, so that is why I usually throw a teaspoon of it in my protein 1st thing.
Awesome job on the presses!
I have been using whey protein pretty much since I started with Jim back in February; generally just a scoop post-workout. Sometimes I will use it as a snack during the day as well. It hasn't affected my ability to change my body composition at all. After a good workout, your body will snap up the sugars/carbs from the whey anyway. =)
