Sattu vs Whey Protein (Which is better?)

Is Sattu better than Whey Protein when it comes to building muscle? Today, we’ll break down the truth and compare these two popular protein sources to see which one truly wins in the battle of muscle growth.

First up, let’s talk about Protein Content. Did you know that 100 grams of sattu has around 20 grams of protein, while 100 grams of whey protein gives you a whopping 80-90 grams of protein? That’s almost 4 times more protein in whey compared to sattu.

Next is Digestion and Bioavailability. Whey is a fast-digesting protein, which means it quickly absorbs into your muscles—especially useful after a workout when your body needs rapid recovery. Whey also has an extremely high bioavailability score, meaning more of it is absorbed and utilized by your body. On the other hand, sattu is a slow-digesting protein and carb source, making it a great natural option but not ideal for post-workout recovery.

When it comes to Practicality and Taste, whey protein wins for convenience. Just 1 scoop in water or milk gives you 24-27 grams of protein with minimal carbs and fats. But with sattu, you’d have to eat a much larger quantity to get the same protein, which can cause digestive issues for some people.

A lot of people believe that sattu is better than whey because it’s a traditional, natural source, but that’s not true for everyone. Everyone’s digestive system is different, and while some can handle sattu easily, others may struggle.

If you prefer natural food sources, that’s absolutely fine. But saying that sattu is a better replacement for whey protein isn’t accurate. When it comes to specific muscle growth goals and convenience, whey protein is the superior option.

India needs serious health and fitness education and awareness. Fear mongering and misinformation can't be tackled without education in right direction. Great job in spreading awareness🙌🏻👏🏼

Sattu is not a replacement for whey protein. But remember whey protein is a supplement and should not be your primary source of protein. Use whey protein only if you are not able to meet your daily protein requirement from regular food. Not everyone requires a lot of protein.

Sattu is food with high protein which can be consumed regularly with no side effects 🙏

[narendrakaushik]

Sattu is far common heard name and consumed products in comparison to Whey and we regularly for some period of time consumed it mainly for calorie but protein too

[A_yush_man]

But Sattu costs less than half of Supplement. And is tasty. It also contains so many important vitamins and minerals

[haissaig]

Actually there no fast digestive protein except for whey, egg takes 1-2 hours to digest, but if you are not going to gym everyday(you go 4 or 3 days per week ) then whey is not necessary if you are able to hit protein goals

[parassingh]

[shivamtripathi]

सर, किसी भी ब्रांड के Plant Protein में pea protein और Brown Rice Protein का क्या Ratio होना चाहिए, अगर हम Pea Protein और Brown Rice Protein लेकर दोनों को मिक्स करके कम्पलीट प्रोटीन बनाना चाहें____तो दोनों को किस Ratio में मिक्स करें

[yashkulkarni]

That is not the point here. What guarantee do we have that the protein we consume has the mentioned amount? Or any at all? They give us lab tests and what not. But it's still just blind faith. I rather trust on a low density protein powder I make at home, rather than consuming some powder which claims to have protein

[ayushchaudhary]

Which is the best whey protein available

[factsindian]

Whey protein or creatine monohydrate, please guide when to take, normal water or warm water or warm milk ??

[AdityaVerma-powr]

First of all majority of persons should know the basic difference between muscle building and physical fitness. So, most of us don't need whey protein and 50g of sattu a day along with ghar ka khana is sufficient. Khana me protein bhi hona chahiye lekin sirf protein nahi.❤❤

[zamasuml]

Fast digestion really
When I take whey protein I face constipation
Even I increase water consumption
Atleast we make sattu at home
Better than chemical whey 😅😅

[Vaibhavjoshi-jn]

डायबिटिक, यूरिक एसिड की प्रॉब्लम वाले व्यक्ति के कौनसा वे प्रोटीन अच्छा रहेगा बताएं?

[AchhaAchha]

Nice and crisp and also you behaved in class.
