  • Whey protein (20 grams) — DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
    20 grams of whey protein
  • Whey protein (60 grams) — DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
    60 grams of whey protein.

Study Details

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that a high dose of post-workout protein nutrition regimen focused on food quality and an observed exercise regimen utilizing high-load resistance training initiated during or after cancer treatment will improve body composition and functional capacity.

Arms

  • Experimental: 20 grams of protein
    Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to a post-workout protein consisting of 20 grams of whey protein. The protein will be 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy, which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Participants will not know which amount of protein they receive.
  • Experimental: 60 grams of protein
    Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to a post-workout protein consisting of 60 grams of whey protein. The protein will be 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy, which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Participants will not know which amount of protein they receive.

Primary Outcome Measure

Changes in muscle mass and fat mass (pounds) at completion of chemotherapy [ Time Frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion). ]
