Using protein for cutting vs. protein for bulking

want to know what the difference is in taking different protein for weight gain than for weight loss? First are they suppose to be taken differently, different proteins used? ,or is the determining factor the amount of total calories you intake. Or are there different types of protein that should be taken all together depending on your goal?
 
You need "high" protein intake for both cutting and growing. For growing, to provide raw materials for muscle growth. For cutting, to maintain muscle tissue and avoiding catabolism. You manipulate your calories by cutting carbs or fat.

Reading between the lines you are referring to protein powder. Yes, you can use it but you really need a decent diet to start with. No point in taking protein powder when cutting as you digest that stuff (wpi or wpc) in an hour or so. Eating meat or eggs is much more filling and makes cutting easier.

For a growing phase, the powders are good if you can't stand the thought of eating another meal, or for topping up a meal you have just eaten or as a snack.

Types of protein? Well, with powders you have WPI and WPC (there are others, but these are the most common). WPI is more filtered and pure and has no lactose so will be easier on your stomach. WPC is cheaper, kg for kg, but has lactose and a lower protein/g purity. So the extra cost of WPI makes up with purity. i.e. You get what you pay for.

Casein powder takes about 7 hours to digest so is favoured for a pre bed snack. It tastes like shit and has the consistancy of congealed vomit, so I prefer to have cottage cheese, which is casein in an edible form.
 
Protein consumption is the same whether cutting or bulking. Carbs and fats are the things you need to add or subtract when goals change.
 
we can have a 100 page thread about this subject.. bottom line you need to figure out what works best for YOU. only way to know is through experience. experiment with different 'diets'
 
you need high protein intake regardless of cutting or bulking... it works both ways... there are certain powders that are far cleaner than others and driven more towards cleaner diets or bulking but in reality, even when bulking you don't want to be consuming garbage bro... you need plenty of protein regardless... you should be more concerned with the quality of product in this category... wheytobuildmuscle and isolation are two of the cleanest and most effective you can find... isolation is an isolate for post workout and wheytobuildmuscle is an anytime protein... www.n2bm.com

you can use whey isolate instead of concentrate.It will have less fat and sugars in it.
 
The only difference is timing man. When you drink it and how much that is. Obviously healthier ingredients of course.
