how much whey do YOU eat?

[TopCat]

With various studies showing that protein synthesis can be elevated for upwards of 24 hours PWO, is it even necessary to take whey PWO anymore (short of rapid replenishment for a second daily workout)?

I've personally cut my powder intake down drastically. I only take one scoop PWO now. If I take a powder at any other time, it's a blend. I also prefer blends to use in recipes, like GN Desserts.

Whey or a derivative will always be in my PWO meal

I like the blends too, Muscle Milk and BSN' Lean Dessert Vanilla go well in food (and by them selves).

One scoop (25G) of Optimum 100% Whey post workout. On my off days I try to take it right before bed.

I don't know how people can eat cottage cheese at all. Yuck.

By only eating Trader Joes Cottage Cheese. All other cottage cheeses taste like piss.

1 Scoop in the morning with oats, 2 scoops post-workout.

I try to get as much of my daily protein from whole foods though.

e.g. 2-3 handfuls of almonds throughout the day, usually chicken or tuna at lunch, egg whites in the evening, cottage cheese before bed.

2 scoops a day - 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

200mg whey by way of isopure perfect.. per day

*ignores rest of thread*

Back in the day, I used to down 2 shakes, which each contained 4 scoops of ~25g per scoop whey protein, and around 12 ounces of whole milk.

I now take 1 shake a day, which contains 10oz of skim milk and 2 scoops of ~25g per scoop whey protein (same brand) per day.

My strength has increased, while I have dropped around 17 pounds.

^^ HAHA! I use to be the same way.

 

[Lusst]

Yeah man, it's funny how clueless I used to be about Nutrition.

*sigh*

I still am actually, I am just learning by trial and error. I'll be spending more time here.
