Yo B, is it inefficient to have a protein shake without any carbs or fats? Or any protein for that matter. I've heard that your body won't absorb protein efficiently without carbs/fats. Maybe you could do a video on this?
@georgek7 Could be a very good video. The only thing I really warn people against is eating just protein and viewing that as a meal. The way I look at it, you should always have a balanced intake that includes carbs proteins and fats. I'll try to work on something on this.
Hey Campell i forgot to ask you 4 you're thoughts on soy protein. I see a lot of these supplement and bars that advertise soy protein. Good or bad? By the way has anybody ever told you that you look just like Tony Romo?
I heard that after an intense training session you're muscles crave glycogen. If you take a protein shake right after the session the body converts protein to glycogen instead of using it for for protein. Is this right or should you go with a fast absorbing waxy maize carb shake and then shortly after have the protein shake???
@mgsimba1 Based off what I've read the post workout window thing is full of flaws/myths. I should do a video on it at some point. When it comes down to it, don't really worry about complex vs simple carbs as absorption is going to slow down regardless based off what other food sources your'e taking in.
@CampbellFitness Ever since i started taking a waxy maize powder combined with a few t spoons of natural african honey and glutalean from Labrada right after training i'v seen much better results than before taking this combination. I feel super rejuvenated and i feel like my body recovers so much better with this combination I'v taken than other supplements right after training and haven't gotten the same results. Not even close!!! I also know from experience that timing is important.
@mgsimba1 Research doesn't support those claims. I used to think I needed a simple carb and quick protein source after for a long time until I started researching studies that show it's not necessary. Now post workout I have a normal meal. Not only do I save money on unnecessary products, but it's more fulfilling!
as a veggie i find it really hard to get protein from sources other than whey. how bad is it to get most of my protein from whey? the other options i have is cottage cheese which i have for lunch and eggs which i have now and again. whey would make up pretty much 80% of my protein intake. i dont want to get that big, i only really workout with kettlebells n some bodyweight stuff
thank you for tbis vid, i just favorite it. I gotta question... I work late shift from 3:30pm - 12:00am, my morning would be at 3:00pm when i wake up. i workout after work around 12:30am to 2:00am... now its late. Please answer this question, when should i intake my protein? 3:00pm,7:30pm and 2:00am right after working out?
@AZNOUTLAWZ918 Honestly, whenever you want. The big factor to consider is your overall intake at the end of your day. Should be roughly around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
Tell me what study indicate you need 0.7-0.9 g of protein per pound of body weight? Most importantly who fund that research. Inmates only get 3 meals a day that look like dog food, doesn't proper gym equipment and still get strong and fit. No protein supplement company is going to fund research which indicate negative effects of excess protein. Of course they will support research which support their cause to make $.
@ap3y Depends on if you're cutting or bulking. General rule of thumb is about 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. If you're overweight than you might want to do more around .8 grams per pound.
I'm thinking of taking Optimum Nutrition's "Protein and Oats" for the simple fact that Whey Protein alone almost never fills me up (I find myself looking for food w/in an hour of using it often)
I like to get most of my protein from chicken and turkey. however, it's getting kind of expensive, and ill soon have to be getting most of my protein from powder. the problem is this: IM ALWAYS HUNGRY. whey doesn't sustain me at all. food sustainsme the best obviously, and after seeing your other video, i know casein sustains people the best.
would it be ok just to take casein, and no whey at all?
@rickykrajewski It's just a lower quality of protein as opposed to whey. The reason it fills you up more and takes longer to digest is b/c it turns into a paste like substance in your stomach and is harder to digest. I have a video on it!
@CampbellFitness just wondering about protein absorption. I've heard that there is a limit to the amount of protein you can absorb in one meal. Just wondering if that is true and if so what is the limit?
@AlKilner I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most of the thunder behind the whole "you can only absorb 20-30 grams of protein at a time" are made from supplement manufacturers.
@NotGangster100 I think people put too much thought into insulin for the most part. I wouldn't worry about it all too much (unless you're a diabetic). In the end, caloric intake is the key overall factor in weight gain/loss.
@CampbellFitness and Im an endomorph and they say my body type is insulin resistant so I shouldnt take fast digesting carbs ater a workout so i just take my protien shake bcuz is it wrong to go from working out hard to eating solid food right after?being an endo morph should I even take anything after my workout bcuz I want my body to use my fat as fuel so would the whey protien prevent that?
Do you lose any benefits of whey isolate if you microwave or bake with it? I really want to make some homemade protein bars but don't want to kill the protein.
@TheKITTBuilder Doesn't sound too desirable to me. I think part of the appeal of going with the powdered route is they take most of the fat/carbs out.
@CampbellFitness Yea, for me too. Problem is my mom thinks whey shakes are bad (I'm 17), even though I told her how they make it and showed her this vid. Guess I'll be going for option 2: The Anabolic Cookingbook.
@JohntheDrumBum You can really take it any time you want. It's just a way to make sure you get enough protein in your diet throughout the day. You can also do this with whole food sources instead if you prefer (that way you get some carbs and fats as well).
Hey, I was wondering about a cutting diet. When decreasing the carbs, should I increase my fat intake? Also, about carb cycling, on low carb days do you do high fat?
With the whey and casein blend, studies have shown that the because the casein is consumed at the same time, it slows the the digestion of the whey greatly. Have you heard about this?
Im a endomorph TRYN 2 LEAN. BREAKFAST is 3 packs of Quaker Oats oatmeal made witrh water not milk my SNACKS is usually a fiber one bar or green seedless grapes my LUNCH is a turkey breast sandwhich with guldens spicy mustard on Arnolds whole grain 12 grain bread my DINNER is A Chicken breast cutlet brolied with no skin with a dole romaine blend salad I try to eat 3hrs in bettween is that ok for a way for me to eat anyones help whould be great and I take ON 211 RECOVERY SHAKE AFTER A WORKOUT
didn't know the diff between concentrate and isolate, thanks. But in terms of how much protein to consume in a day for someone pushing their muscles 8-10 hours a week lifting etc? I've seen 1g per lb of lean body mass per day and others just recommend 30-50g per meal sitting + shakes. What is more correct? Or are they both off their rockers?
@m4xfl4xst4r I'd steer you towards determining your intake based off of how much you weigh. The 30-50 grams a meal could potentially be too little or too less in certain factors. I aim for 1.5 grams/lb myself.
@CampbellFitness 1.5 grams/lb of lean mass or present weight? We dont want to feed the fat right? So if someone is say 200lbs and 10% fat, they're targeting the 180 ?
@CampbellFitness Lol, I didn't expect you to reply to me personally. I didn't actually think you'd get the chance to see my thanks comment.
I just want to express my deep thanks for the effort you put into this. I was confused about the protein thing but now I think I know enough thanks to the video you made. Big big thanks!
according to the NSCA its .8 g/ kg body weight for a sedantary individual, 1.2-1.4 g/kg for an endurance athlete, 1.6-1.7 g/kg for a strength athlete, and 1.5-2.0 g/kg for a combination athlete. 1 kg= 2.2046 lbs. You will need to convert your weight to kg. Be carefull with this speaker, this is just one main thing i picked out from his speach that was false
@10fortsan I got my numbers from the NSCA site. Based on your numbers a 200lb person (90.72kg) would need anywhere from 136-181grams (based off the 1.5-2.0g/kg you mentioned). Using my numbers, a 200lb person would need anywhere from 140-180grams (based off the 0.7-0.9 g/lb). The numbers are practically identical. Feel free to point out any other things you took issue with to what I said :)
another thing i noticed was when you said to drink some whey as soon as you woke up. Well when you sleep your stored glycogen in your muscles and liver continuously release glucose into your body to keep you alive. When you wake you are actually in a hypoglycemic state. So you should definelty be eating some carbohydrates upon sleeping to revive your low blood sugar. i agree with having protein as well but definetly carbs are a must.
@10fortsan In this case I'd agree that what I said isn't entirely correct. I mentioned a healthy diet needs to consist of carbs/proteins/fats, but saying take protein before oatmeal is incorrect. After making this video I've read several empirical studies to show that nutrient timing is mostly irrelevant. I'll make the appropriate annotation. I was curious as to what you had to say regarding your first statement.
@10fortsan Not at all, I'm just trying to clear things up. I'm glad you pointed out the carbs thing as I made this video quite some time ago and no one has pointed out that inaccuracy until now. Just wanted to make sure what else I could fix.
@CampbellFitness I will agree micro nutrient timing may not be that crucial for athletic performance, but i do not agree that macro nutrient timing is irrelevant. when it comes down to fitness and athletic performance it all comes down to energy system usage. So the more readily available macro nutrients to match with the energy system the better the performance. Try doing a H.I.I.T cardio workout after 3 seperate pre workout meals. one being high fat, one being high protein, and one high carb
@10fortsan I think there are certain times where it can be crucial, but other times people get too caught up in it. Like for instance the debate whether or not you can eat before bed.
@mouthforwar93 Ah, I see what you mean, I shouldn't have thrown the whey part in there. That's what happens when you do a long video all in one take! Good ear.
@mouthforwar93 Hmm what time did I say that? I know i said protein is the building blocks of everything in your body, but not whey protein specifically.
.7 ? I thought it was 1 - 1.5 grams per lb of body weight ? I think he was referring to .7 if your getting enough protein through whole foods. I certainly don't get much protein through whole foods so I do about 1 gram / lb or slightly more on a good day but since I'm bulking I need more carbs than protein.
@rickalex21 it varies depending on what you're trying to do. Generally speaking I think people eat more protein than they can actually use. I usually stick with 1.5 grams/pound for myself.
@Spinebreaker666 I don't agree with that necessarily. You could increase your other macros and still "bulk." I don't believe taking in that much protein is necessarily beneficial. Thanks for the response.
I just got whey protein "from the makers of muscle milk" whey concentrated and isolated whey.. I weight about 130 pounds im sorta confused on how much i should take.. And also is it safe for me to take, im sorry for asking im kinda a noob at this
@DubStepVIIX I generally suggest getting most of your protein from whole food sources. Protein powder helps get you there if you have trouble eating that much. Most people like taking it after a workout as a quick way to get protein in. I'd say take in anywhere between 1.1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.
@impulse41 I'd suggest doing the same thing you'd do as if you worked out in the morning or afternoon. Your body doesn't really understand the time of day. It just knows it needs nutrients.
@impulse41 Yes. Absolutely. Your body does not know any difference in time, and so, to ingest food as you would after a workout during the day should be treated the same as if you trained later at night. The carbohydrates you ingest at that hour, I would recommend, be lower in GI than some of your higher sucrose or fructose (fruit) sources. You could also, in your situation, take a straight protein with no carbs after you workout...and then stay up for another hour to eat your last meal.
@CampbellFitness I am 32 years old and trying to find the right Whey Protein supplement. I have looked at several brands including ON but most of them contain artificial sweetners which is scaring me. What do you think about that? Moreover they whey proteins, do they just contain proteins or do these manufacturers add additional stuff in them? Thanks for your response.
@nikhilsrl I don't mind too much, but if you're looking for something with out it you can look at certain products like ON's natural whey, or Dymatize Elite Whey. Anything specific you're trying to stay away from?
@CampbellFitness thanks for your prompt response. Its just that I read about these artificial sweeteners and their side effects. Apparently some of them can even cause cancer.
@nikhilsrl Yeah there's a lot of stuff out there about artificial sweeteners, but nothing too concrete. I try to stay away from them mostly, but in some cases I don't mind taking them in through shakes.
@nikhilsrl One of the highest-quality and (most expensive) whey isolate proteins I have found on the market per review and results, is Nature's Best Isopure. It covers essential vitamins and minerals that are normally depleted within individuals, is 100% ion-exchange whey isolate GUARANTEED, and most brands have 0g Fat, Low cholesterol, 0g Carbs, and NO added preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or sugars. The only downside is, they usually don't taste good. Results > Taste. It's up to you!
@EricB042389 Thanks buddy. Its as if I read your mind. After many months of research I finally ordered my first protein supplement.just a few hours and it is Nature's Best Isopure Low Carb. It is expensive compared on ON 100% Gold or the likes but atleast I feel confident of the ingredients. It does contain Sucralose but I have found it to be less mysterious compared to Ace-K or Aspartame Cheers :)
@nikhilsrl Awesome! I stand behind that, and have been for years. Yes. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want to invest money into something, why not pay the extra 20-30 dollars to ensure 100% results as opposed to something half as cheap and obtain only about 25% of the product's results?
The only disclaimer I warn, is that Isopure tastes like CRAP. It is very bad. To make it taste better, mix into a shake of skim milk and frozen fruit. What flavor did you get?
@nikhilsrl It would appear the irony continues. THAT flavor in particular, from the ones I have tried actually tastes the BEST. (I have tried all of them except the fruity ones like Alpine Punch and Banana Splash, etc.).
If you want to get a product that doesn't have sucralose in it, get the Zero Carb version, not the Low Carb. I would personally recommend, in terms of flavors, any flavor that is more natural (vanilla, chocolate, chocolate mint) as they taste closest to what you would expect
@EricB042389 I finally got my isopure after some delays. It tastes fine for me so I guess feel good about. Only one crib, I could not find a spoon to measure the scoop size. How are you doing it?
@nikhilsrl Great! Low-Carb Dutch Chocolate is the best tasting imo. The "scoop" you are looking for, is actually buried in your protein powder tub. You may have to dig around for it a bit. Usually one scoop is about 28-33g or 1/4 cup. I would just look for the little scooper that is usually buried somewhere in the middle of the whey protein, and then let it sit on top...or even carefully dump that product out of its bag back into the tub, and keep an eye for what you are looking for!
@EricB042389 Thanks man. I had to pretty much empty the entire bottle into another jar to finally find the scooper. it was at the bottom of the jar. Thanks again.
@nikhilsrl And it depends on the quality of the brand, the product itself, and the company that puts out whey proteins. Some have things called "Proprietary Blend" Proteins. Do NOT buy products like that; they have what you are fearing, and usually contain other "fillers" to make the product up. You just have to do your research, look into reviews, and check out the back panel before you purchase/invest money into any product whether it be a protein or a whole food. Good Luck.
@322king Building muscle is a slow process. The key to it is having a great nutrition plan in place, coupled with a solid workout routine and just some good old fashioned patience. Whey protein is a great way to get in your required amount of protein without having to eat a bunch of whole food sources (like chicken, beef, fish, etc...).
@CampbellFitness i have a high metabolism so i have a hard time gaining weight. how many times a day should i drink whey protein and is there any other types of shakes that i should take?
@322king Really it all comes down to having a surplus of calories. If you have a hard time getting enough calories in I'd suggest a blended shake of protein, oatmeal and milk. I try to get most of my calories through whole food sources, so if you can do that, you eliminate the need for tons of shakes.
Thank you for explaining! I hear you say it's important to supplmenting after your workout, but I am guessing you should use Protine powder after a weight lifiting workout? thanks for your hlep!
@cuppypower Thanks! I'm trying to get a lot of basic videos out there before I get into the more complex topics. There's a lot of companies putting a lot of junk out when in reality you don't need any of it really if you have a good diet in place. Thanks for watching!
whattup bro! i just recently purchased some cell tech hardcore by muscletech...have you tried it before? im just wondering if its good stuff, and seeing if you can maybe help me with my goals, im tryin to gain muscle size, and get stronger, but i also wanna try to stay somewhat lean.
@GilTheStud I'm not a big fan of Muscle Tech. But feel free to message me with your goals and what you're trying to accomplish and I'd be more than happy to help!
@CampbellFitness Yea after i saw this video i researched soy some more and most sources said its bad for teens and younger people because it can increase estrogen levels but in older people it wont harm them. So I'm going out this week to buy some whey protein
@CampbellFitness i just keep hearing the personal trainers and everyone saying u only have 30 minutes after the workout to take the protein and i was wondering if cardio counts.
@Justmylukc I don't find long cardio sessions to be too beneficial. I either do HIIT or I do slow steady state cardio. If it's the latter I can drink my shake before, if it's HIIT, you shouldn't be doing it for more than 20-30 min anyways.
i have a question if for example i weight 60 kg and i should take 120g of protein, how should i take it?, distribute throughout the day?, i listened to your video but i was a bit confused. so if i should take 120g, a good idea to take it would be like 30 grams in my first meal after the gym 60g and before bed another 30 g?
im sorry if i didnt explain myself well! anyways thanx!
@ys1337 I usually suggest splitting it up through out the day. So for example if you need to take in 120 grams of protein and have roughly 6 meals a day, that would be 20 grams per meal. I only really suggest around 20-30 grams immediately post workout. But then again, I typically have another meal 45 min after my post workout shake.
@ys1337 Even though its been answered, hears how your find out how much protein you need in each meal.. Divide the amount of protein you need daily, which is about 1g/lb then divide it by how many meals you eat a day. I wouldn't recommend only 3 meals a day with protein..

@TheSmokaholik I've had both the chocolate and vanilla. They're not too bad in my opinion. A bit of a subdued taste.

didn't know the diff between concentrate and isolate, thanks. But in terms of how much protein to consume in a day for someone pushing their muscles 8-10 hours a week lifting etc? I've seen 1g per lb of lean body mass per day and others just recommend 30-50g per meal sitting + shakes. What is more correct? Or are they both off their rockers?
m4xfl4xst4r 4 months ago
@m4xfl4xst4r I'd steer you towards determining your intake based off of how much you weigh. The 30-50 grams a meal could potentially be too little or too less in certain factors. I aim for 1.5 grams/lb myself.
CampbellFitness 4 months ago
@CampbellFitness 1.5 grams/lb of lean mass or present weight? We dont want to feed the fat right? So if someone is say 200lbs and 10% fat, they're targeting the 180 ?
m4xfl4xst4r 4 months ago
@m4xfl4xst4r It's really up to you. Some people who are aiming to gain the muscle will eat the amount of protein as if they were already that weight.

according to the NSCA its .8 g/ kg body weight for a sedantary individual, 1.2-1.4 g/kg for an endurance athlete, 1.6-1.7 g/kg for a strength athlete, and 1.5-2.0 g/kg for a combination athlete. 1 kg= 2.2046 lbs. You will need to convert your weight to kg. Be carefull with this speaker, this is just one main thing i picked out from his speach that was false
10fortsan 4 months ago
@10fortsan I got my numbers from the NSCA site. Based on your numbers a 200lb person (90.72kg) would need anywhere from 136-181grams (based off the 1.5-2.0g/kg you mentioned). Using my numbers, a 200lb person would need anywhere from 140-180grams (based off the 0.7-0.9 g/lb). The numbers are practically identical. Feel free to point out any other things you took issue with to what I said :)

@CampbellFitness
another thing i noticed was when you said to drink some whey as soon as you woke up. Well when you sleep your stored glycogen in your muscles and liver continuously release glucose into your body to keep you alive. When you wake you are actually in a hypoglycemic state. So you should definelty be eating some carbohydrates upon sleeping to revive your low blood sugar. i agree with having protein as well but definetly carbs are a must.
10fortsan 4 months ago
@10fortsan In this case I'd agree that what I said isn't entirely correct. I mentioned a healthy diet needs to consist of carbs/proteins/fats, but saying take protein before oatmeal is incorrect. After making this video I've read several empirical studies to show that nutrient timing is mostly irrelevant. I'll make the appropriate annotation. I was curious as to what you had to say regarding your first statement.
CampbellFitness 4 months ago
@CampbellFitness
Don't get me wrong, you made alot of good valid points to help people with fitness and nutrition.
10fortsan 4 months ago
@10fortsan Not at all, I'm just trying to clear things up. I'm glad you pointed out the carbs thing as I made this video quite some time ago and no one has pointed out that inaccuracy until now. Just wanted to make sure what else I could fix.
CampbellFitness 4 months ago
@CampbellFitness I will agree micro nutrient timing may not be that crucial for athletic performance, but i do not agree that macro nutrient timing is irrelevant. when it comes down to fitness and athletic performance it all comes down to energy system usage. So the more readily available macro nutrients to match with the energy system the better the performance. Try doing a H.I.I.T cardio workout after 3 seperate pre workout meals. one being high fat, one being high protein, and one high carb
10fortsan 4 months ago
@10fortsan I think there are certain times where it can be crucial, but other times people get too caught up in it. Like for instance the debate whether or not you can eat before bed.

.7 ? I thought it was 1 - 1.5 grams per lb of body weight ? I think he was referring to .7 if your getting enough protein through whole foods. I certainly don't get much protein through whole foods so I do about 1 gram / lb or slightly more on a good day but since I'm bulking I need more carbs than protein.
rickalex21 4 months ago
@rickalex21 it varies depending on what you're trying to do. Generally speaking I think people eat more protein than they can actually use. I usually stick with 1.5 grams/pound for myself.

DubStepVIIX 5 months ago
@DubStepVIIX I generally suggest getting most of your protein from whole food sources. Protein powder helps get you there if you have trouble eating that much. Most people like taking it after a workout as a quick way to get protein in. I'd say take in anywhere between 1.1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.

what if I workout at night? should I still take an after workout supllement and then an additional protein?
impulse41 5 months ago
@impulse41 I'd suggest doing the same thing you'd do as if you worked out in the morning or afternoon. Your body doesn't really understand the time of day. It just knows it needs nutrients.
CampbellFitness 5 months ago
@impulse41 Yes. Absolutely. Your body does not know any difference in time, and so, to ingest food as you would after a workout during the day should be treated the same as if you trained later at night. The carbohydrates you ingest at that hour, I would recommend, be lower in GI than some of your higher sucrose or fructose (fruit) sources. You could also, in your situation, take a straight protein with no carbs after you workout...and then stay up for another hour to eat your last meal.

@CampbellFitness I am 32 years old and trying to find the right Whey Protein supplement. I have looked at several brands including ON but most of them contain artificial sweetners which is scaring me. What do you think about that? Moreover they whey proteins, do they just contain proteins or do these manufacturers add additional stuff in them? Thanks for your response.
nikhilsrl 6 months ago
@nikhilsrl I don't mind too much, but if you're looking for something with out it you can look at certain products like ON's natural whey, or Dymatize Elite Whey. Anything specific you're trying to stay away from?
CampbellFitness 6 months ago
@CampbellFitness thanks for your prompt response. Its just that I read about these artificial sweeteners and their side effects. Apparently some of them can even cause cancer.
nikhilsrl 6 months ago
@nikhilsrl Yeah there's a lot of stuff out there about artificial sweeteners, but nothing too concrete. I try to stay away from them mostly, but in some cases I don't mind taking them in through shakes.
CampbellFitness 6 months ago
@nikhilsrl One of the highest-quality and (most expensive) whey isolate proteins I have found on the market per review and results, is Nature's Best Isopure. It covers essential vitamins and minerals that are normally depleted within individuals, is 100% ion-exchange whey isolate GUARANTEED, and most brands have 0g Fat, Low cholesterol, 0g Carbs, and NO added preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or sugars. The only downside is, they usually don't taste good. Results > Taste. It's up to you!
EricB042389 5 months ago
@EricB042389 Thanks buddy. Its as if I read your mind. After many months of research I finally ordered my first protein supplement.just a few hours and it is Nature's Best Isopure Low Carb. It is expensive compared on ON 100% Gold or the likes but atleast I feel confident of the ingredients. It does contain Sucralose but I have found it to be less mysterious compared to Ace-K or Aspartame Cheers :)
nikhilsrl 5 months ago
@nikhilsrl Awesome! I stand behind that, and have been for years. Yes. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want to invest money into something, why not pay the extra 20-30 dollars to ensure 100% results as opposed to something half as cheap and obtain only about 25% of the product's results?
The only disclaimer I warn, is that Isopure tastes like CRAP. It is very bad. To make it taste better, mix into a shake of skim milk and frozen fruit. What flavor did you get?
EricB042389 5 months ago
@EricB042389 True. I got the chocolate flavor. Here in India the options are limited. Hope I will get used to the taste.
nikhilsrl 5 months ago
@nikhilsrl It would appear the irony continues. THAT flavor in particular, from the ones I have tried actually tastes the BEST. (I have tried all of them except the fruity ones like Alpine Punch and Banana Splash, etc.).
If you want to get a product that doesn't have sucralose in it, get the Zero Carb version, not the Low Carb. I would personally recommend, in terms of flavors, any flavor that is more natural (vanilla, chocolate, chocolate mint) as they taste closest to what you would expect
EricB042389 5 months ago
@EricB042389 Thankyou. I will go Zero Carb next time.
nikhilsrl 5 months ago
@EricB042389 I finally got my isopure after some delays. It tastes fine for me so I guess feel good about. Only one crib, I could not find a spoon to measure the scoop size. How are you doing it?
nikhilsrl 5 months ago
@nikhilsrl Great! Low-Carb Dutch Chocolate is the best tasting imo. The "scoop" you are looking for, is actually buried in your protein powder tub. You may have to dig around for it a bit. Usually one scoop is about 28-33g or 1/4 cup. I would just look for the little scooper that is usually buried somewhere in the middle of the whey protein, and then let it sit on top...or even carefully dump that product out of its bag back into the tub, and keep an eye for what you are looking for!
EricB042389 5 months ago
@EricB042389 Thanks man. I had to pretty much empty the entire bottle into another jar to finally find the scooper. it was at the bottom of the jar. Thanks again.
nikhilsrl 5 months ago
@nikhilsrl And it depends on the quality of the brand, the product itself, and the company that puts out whey proteins. Some have things called "Proprietary Blend" Proteins. Do NOT buy products like that; they have what you are fearing, and usually contain other "fillers" to make the product up. You just have to do your research, look into reviews, and check out the back panel before you purchase/invest money into any product whether it be a protein or a whole food. Good Luck.

322king 6 months ago
@322king Building muscle is a slow process. The key to it is having a great nutrition plan in place, coupled with a solid workout routine and just some good old fashioned patience. Whey protein is a great way to get in your required amount of protein without having to eat a bunch of whole food sources (like chicken, beef, fish, etc...).
CampbellFitness 6 months ago
@CampbellFitness i have a high metabolism so i have a hard time gaining weight. how many times a day should i drink whey protein and is there any other types of shakes that i should take?
322king 6 months ago
@322king Really it all comes down to having a surplus of calories. If you have a hard time getting enough calories in I'd suggest a blended shake of protein, oatmeal and milk. I try to get most of my calories through whole food sources, so if you can do that, you eliminate the need for tons of shakes.

Justmylukc 7 months ago
@Justmylukc I don't find long cardio sessions to be too beneficial. I either do HIIT or I do slow steady state cardio. If it's the latter I can drink my shake before, if it's HIIT, you shouldn't be doing it for more than 20-30 min anyways.
CampbellFitness 7 months ago
i have a question if for example i weight 60 kg and i should take 120g of protein, how should i take it?, distribute throughout the day?, i listened to your video but i was a bit confused. so if i should take 120g, a good idea to take it would be like 30 grams in my first meal after the gym 60g and before bed another 30 g?
im sorry if i didnt explain myself well! anyways thanx!
ys1337 8 months ago
@ys1337 I usually suggest splitting it up through out the day. So for example if you need to take in 120 grams of protein and have roughly 6 meals a day, that would be 20 grams per meal. I only really suggest around 20-30 grams immediately post workout. But then again, I typically have another meal 45 min after my post workout shake.
CampbellFitness 8 months ago
@ys1337 Even though its been answered, hears how your find out how much protein you need in each meal.. Divide the amount of protein you need daily, which is about 1g/lb then divide it by how many meals you eat a day. I wouldn't recommend only 3 meals a day with protein..
