About
Whey protein powder is an airy nutritional supplement, packing about 3.7 ounces (106 grams) into one US cup.
Whey protein powder has a bulk density of about 28 pounds per cubic foot (0.45 grams per milliliter), which makes it relatively light and fluffy. A common 2-pound (0.9-kilogram) tub takes up roughly 8.6 US cups (2 liters) of volume. It is roughly half as dense as granulated sugar and noticeably lighter than all-purpose flour. Because air readily gets trapped between the fine dry particles, tapping or settling can change how much fits in a cup.
From Wikipedia
Whey protein is a mixture of proteins isolated from whey, the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production. The proteins consist of α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin and immunoglobulins.
