WPI is “cleaner” (less lactose and carbs) and often the better choice if you are lactose sensitive or want a tighter macro profile. Hydrolysate digests faster but is usually more expensive and unnecessary for most recreational lifters. Whey is not a replacement for real food — think of it as a tool: when you need fast, reliable protein (post-workout, as a snack, or when you have no time for a meal). If you are bulking, whey...
