whey is used for optimum recovery from exercise, especially resistance training as it is catabolic by nature. the body has a negative protein balance after training so it is in a catabolic state.
contains 25% branched chain amino acids per serving. BCAA's are metabolized directly by skeletal muscle so when whey protein is mixed with water they can reach the bloodstream in 15-20 minutes as compared to 1.5 hours when whole food protein sources are consumed. the faster the muscle can recover from exercise the longer it will be in a anabolic state which is when fat loss is maximized and muscle growth occurs.

So your body gets more protein. When you're working out and need to put on some mass, whey helps you. You should take about your weight in grams a day.
For example, if you weigh 60kg, you need 60g a day.
