The Ultimate Guide to Protein: Maximizing Your Fitness Results With Nutrition On The Go
What Protein Powder Is Best?
Whey Protein Isolate is considered the best protein powder due to its high protein content, few calories, rapid absorption, and bioavailability. It also contains less fat and lactose compared to other protein powders. For vegans, Nutrition on the Go uses a blend of Quinoa, Pea, and Rice proteins to ensure a complete amino acid profile.
Will Protein Powder Make You Gain Weight?
Protein powder itself will not cause weight gain. Weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than you burn. Our protein powders contain only 110 and 130 calories per serving, allowing you to focus on maximizing protein and muscle while minimizing calories.
How Is Protein Powder Made?
Whey protein is a byproduct of cheese production. The whey is separated from the cheese, dried out, and processed. Isolate undergoes further processing to remove excess fat and lactose, resulting in a product with higher protein, lower fat, lactose, and calories, and faster absorption.
Can Protein Powder Make You Fat?
Only a caloric surplus can lead to fat gain. Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle and can help you lose fat by keeping you fuller and helping you retain lean muscle mass, which burns more calories.
Can Protein Powder Go Bad?
Protein powder has a 2-year shelf life. Opening tubs and exposing it to air, light, and moisture can make protein go bad faster, but NOTG products come in single-serve packets, ensuring freshness and simplicity in your supplement routine.
Is Protein Powder Good For You?
While it's recommended to get most of your protein intake from whole foods, protein powder, particularly whey protein isolate and our vegan options, provide a convenient and tasty source of protein that is safe to take daily.
Is Protein Powder Good For Weight Loss?
Protein powder is excellent for weight loss. It keeps you full, preserves muscle mass in a caloric deficit, and has a thermic effect, meaning that the breakdown of 1g of protein constitutes closer to 3.7 calories per gram.
Will Protein Powder Make You Gain Weight
Only a caloric surplus will cause weight gain. With resistance training and adequate protein intake, you may gain muscle mass. Excessive caloric surplus may lead to fat gain, but it is not caused by protein powder.
Can Protein Powder Cause Indigestion or Constipation?
It can, but NOTG is formulated for easy digestion. Our whey contains minimal lactose, minimal excess ingredients, and digestive enzymes. Our vegan protein is all-natural, lactose- and gluten-free, and contains fiber.
Whey Protein Concentrate Vs. Isolate
Whey Protein Isolate undergoes additional processing to remove more fat and lactose, resulting in a higher protein content and faster absorption compared to Whey Protein Concentrate.
Whey vs. Plant Protein
Whey protein is derived from milk and is known for its high bioavailability and fast absorption. Plant proteins are derived from sources like peas, rice, and quinoa and are suitable for vegans or those with lactose intolerance. Nutrition on the Go offers both options to cater to different dietary needs.
Whey Protein Benefits
Whey protein offers numerous benefits, including support for muscle growth, repair, and maintenance, as well as being a convenient and efficient source of high-quality protein.

Why Is Your Whey Protein Better Than Others?
Our Whey Protein Isolate is pure, sourced from Wisconsin, and contains:
No fillers or amino acid spiking.
A light taste to avoid overpowering or artificial aftertaste.
Excellent mixability and consistency.
The highest bioavailability, meaning it's used by your muscles more efficiently and quickly.
Minimal ingredients. Out of the 29g of whey protein per packet, 28g is pure whey protein. Whey Protein Isolate is 90% protein by weight, meaning 28g of whey protein yields 25g of usable protein.
Low lactose content and the use of digestive enzymes to minimize bloating, digestion issues, and maximize absorption.
Only 110 calories, which is 10-20 calories lower than other whey proteins. Our protein also contains 1g more protein than most other proteins while having fewer calories.
Is Your Protein Good for Losing Weight?
Weight loss and gain ultimately depend on energy (calorie) balance. Our Whey blend contains just 110 calories, with 100 of those calories coming from high-quality, fast-acting Whey Protein Isolate. Our Vegan Blends contain 130 calories, with 80 of those calories coming from protein. We focus on maximizing protein per serving while minimizing excess calories, all while delivering an exceptional tasting product!
