Protein Shakes

When you guys make your protein shakes, how many servings do you usually use?

 

I use one. But im not a bodybuilder extrodinare, I just use them for energy and restoring fatigued muscles.

 

I use one around three to four times a day.

 

I have one after workout and then another one before sleep at night. So 2 a day

 

Forgive my ignorance on these subjects, but what's the purpose of drinking it before you go to sleep?

 

i have it 2x a day usually.

 

In my opinion, a lot of people do it way over with protein these days.

Just too much.

 

obviously while one is sleeping, the body is in a state of fasting. During this time, I think the body should be given the necessary materials for muscle building and recovery. I drink a casein protein because it is a slower digesting protein. This will allow the constant delivery of amino acids and peptides over the long period of time during sleep.

 

that is your opinion, but i think 1.5 x your body weight is a good figure for grams of protein. So if your protein is less than that than you arent over doing it.




I adjust my protein intake depending on what I eat on that day, I pick up the slack in protein powder.


1.5 x bW

 

When I spoke to a doctor, he recommended 1g/pound.

 

that is for a active normal adult, not a combat athlete

 

In the morning I make a blender full of protien shake with other added ingredients and just drink it throughout the day with my meals and while resting and everything. + water of course too

 

I have multible sources for 1.5 x

I am also speaking from a hardgainers viewpoint

 

1g per pound of muscle is a decent figure for a normal active adult, not 1g per of body weight, that is over doing it

 

Give this man a trophy or something here.

 

I use 2 servings 3 times a day.

 

If you talk to anybody builder that is getting ready for competition he will tell you that he consumes about 800grams per day.

 

Yup probably, my post says for a normal active adult.
