To gain muscles from doing sports you need to eat something like 1.5 to 3 grams of protein a day per pound of body mass. Whey protein is ideal for this because it consists of protein that is absorbed very rapidly. It is very effective in preventing the body from breaking down muscle for fuel and helps in building the muscle instead. It also makes an excellent breakfast when mixed with fruit, giving the body an immediate nutrition boost. Whey powder is a byproduct of cheese making. When the milk curdles, liquid leaks out and that liquid contains a high amount of whey protein. Where milk has 4g of protein per 100g, whey powder contains about 80g of protein per 100g.

I heard they used to throw whey away as waste material until someone figured out how to use it as a protein supplement.
