  • Excellent information Funk. Among all your other comments, telling us the best sources of protein is from natural foods makes a lot of sense. This is the first time I've ever heard of taking a protein supplement before sleep; that's something for me to think about. According to the RDA guideline, I need 50g of protein a day. Being active, I know I need more than that, but I'm working on figuring out just how much more.

    Great to see that high amount fruit in the video -- plenty of antioxidants.

  • Is it also important to take protein shakes on days when you're NOT doing workouts??

  • spirulina and blue-green algae have the highest source of protein that i know of. higher than meat and the whey protein, which is a by product of cheese making, per calorie.

  • Thanks for your tip about this protein....I never tried it before just received my order today...bought the chocolate & chocolate mint flavor... it taste amazing...great product! and proudly canadian made!

  • well i work out 2 or maybe 3 times a day so should i only have a protein shake after one work out oe have one after every workout?

  • @lukeylad121 u should only be working out maybe 2-4 times a week, you are doing too much.

  • hey im 15 and im tryna gain muscle becuase im a WR and i wanna go play rb next year is drinking3 protein shakes a day bad for me cuz i heard that too much protein could be bad for me too

  • am...milky shake have 23 gr of protein in 36 gr scopp...this is like 60-70% protein..dude you can do it better...

  • hey man i really love that you take time to answear question. I am 1.70cm and weigh 90kilos i want to get to 70-75kilos in 3 months. I really want to know what not to eat i can't stop eating carbohydrates i'm 15 years old and my mom only makes rice or pasta , chicken meat and stuff like that ! please help!

  • What is the protein that make you gain weight?

  • @mastro14720 That is Weight Gainer

  • @marcroops What type of Weight Gainer Brand would you get right now i am 110 pounds:(

  • @mastro14720 whey protein comes from a byproduct of making cheese. it makes you gassy, jut thought u might want to know. try protein from algae or spirulina.

  • ...morning, after workout and when i go to sleep...so i need to drink a shake 3 times a day?

  • @21iunie - - Thanks for following. The goal is to eat protein sources at every meal. If you are training hard, then you want to ensure that your muscles are growing; body is recovering and recuperating efficiently. I suggest that after your workout , if you cannot eat a meal with carbs, proteins right away, then you have an after workout meal/shake (check out my Prograde vid post) and before you sleep is great, as it’s the optimal time that your body rests and your muscles grow

  • @marcroops check out the meal plan Exercise Day: Breakfast: protein/carbs, Mid-morning: protein/healthy fat, Lunch: protein/healthy fat, Mid-afternoon: protein/healthy fat, Evening (after exercise): protein/carbs, Pre-bed: protein/healthy fat

  • Hey Funk thanks for making this video but I had a question

    Should you use protein powder at around your teenage years (15)

    Thanks

  • im not trying to be a dick, but ¨take¨ protein?, dont you take drugs n stuff, i would prefer saying use:)

  • @TheGladProductions Hmmm. Don't you "USE" Drugs...some even “use and abuse”.

    As long as you understand the gest of what is set, you can say use, I'll say take and hopefully the message is clear. I would not have even thought about the word "TAKE" and drugs had such a close bond. Everyone is different; I actually used the word "take" and wrote "use" to capture both audiences.

    Cheers and have an awesome day - thanks for the comment – Funk

  • @marcroops

    yeah i just picked ¨use¨for an example, but anyhow thanks for the help in the video!:)

  • @marcroops hi i am looking to bulk up scotthermanfitness says to take your protein shake 10-15 mins after your workout once your heart rate has slown down. will taking protein shake after my workout help me to bulk up

  • should you have a proteinshake before going to sleep on a rest day? or do you take proteinshake EVERY night in the year

  • @DidzTheBoss you need to constantly feed your muscles so yes. EVERY day you should be getting some form of casein before you sleep.

  • Can you mix it then leave it in the fridge overnight?

  • Thanks for the video :D

  • Hi, I'm 15 years old I weigh 220 pounds and I am 6'0 tall. I play baseball for my highschool team and we do very rigorous conditioning every day for 2 hours. Speed, agility drills, core work and so forth. I'm looking to gain muscle mass when lifting. I was wondering what you think would be the best type of protein shake for me to use. I want to build muscle mass but slim down on fat weight. I really appreciate any feedback! Thanks!

  • Thanks man this helps alot but, I have "Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein" I'm not sure if this is better or not, I've been told it is, but I want to know from a guy who's been using the Whey Protein brand for a while. I just turned 18 and going into the Army soon I need to know if this will work faster, please reply.

  • Hi, i've been working out everyday for about a month now. 10lb weights i do curls, tricep, push ups, resistance chords, sit ups, leg lifts, dips and a step climber to work out my legs and to get a good sweat going. i eat about twice a day, healthier foods now. (i know i should be eating more often) i dont get too much protein. Eggs i can do though. If i eat eggs and work out then take the shake would that help build lean muscle and let me work out everyday i with having to rest a day?

  • i weigh 225 and im trying to cut down to 190 by June. Is it still okay to take protein powder with water before going to bed even though im trying to lose weight and not bulk up?

  • @nbamorreale1 Whey Protein will not help you bulk up but actually assist with your weight loss. I think you are mistaking whey protein for Weight Gainer. You should be eating a source of protein at every meal and mid meal snack - no questions...especially when you are looking to burn fat and lose weight. Check out my Nutrition Basics videos for Fat Loss. Get your protein from natural clean food, but if not then whey protein with water will do, especially if you train hard and often. - Funk

  • Hey I'm kinda skinny, should I still use the 6 meals a day plan to get a great lean body?

  • @telephone514 Nutrition will help you to build muscle while staying lean and ripped - Funk

  • This is a great video its got a lot of really helpful info. Nice job on this vid

  • You just woke up?...with your glasses on?

  • thanks dude . your awsome

  • Hey great video! also for anyone who is taking it i would also recommend taking a vitamin D pill along with a fish oil, everyone is D deficient which= bad bones, and the fish oil helps a ton if ur doing MMA or Boxing any kind of martial arts i find it helps my joints from getting stiff and cramped it also reduces Corisol and reduces fat.

  • is it ok if use whey protein when i wake up and then an hour before i hit the gym and after my work and last before i go to sleep..

  • @macroops: i don't lift dumbells or do any kinda weight lifting.... but i use the gym cycle, 10 miles tops..... is it okay if i take the protein powder? if it is.... once a day or more? thx

  • is it better to use water or milk with your protein shake?

  • Staff only?

  • thank you sooooooo much greetings from Greece!

  • Thanks man, all the way from new zealand!

  • BLA BLA ,,JUST SAY TAKE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE,,WHY ALL THE SPEECH ??¿¿¿

    ITS STUPID,,,,HE IS LIKE EVERY CELL IS MADE OF TISSUE AND THAT SHITT

  • can you just eat eggs before training and after training using egg whites insted of protein powder and also at night?

  • Comment removed

  • is it okay to make it befor a work out and have it after ? what protein is the one that makes you lean ????

  • @Incapine

    Hey, It sure is okay to have a shake before and after, although you may also want to eat a small serving of carbs as well - check out the WHAT TO EAT BEFORE AND AFTER WORKOUT on my funkrobertsfitness website. After your workout, within an hour, yo ushould be eating a meal containing protein and carbs, but you can have a shake right after you workout to hold you over until you eat.

    Hope that helps

    Funk Roberts

  • what happens if you take it during workout

  • @Roman2737 You should be drinking water during your workouts - Protein before and after for optimal results 

  • @marcroops how long you should you wait after the workout to take your protien?

    and what about before?

    just starting out so any advice is really helpfull thanks appreciate it :D

  • Thanks my brotha! Very helpful!

  • great video man thenx alot for the awesome INFO....!!!!!

  • Is it a good idea to put Protein Powder in Milk? And is there a specific kind of milk I should put it in?

  • @GodILovePuRpLe ..Mainly Organic Non/Low fat or Soy...Rice Milk is AMAZING!!!

  • if i get protein and it says 'take 3 times per day', what if i take it only after the work out? will it not work because it wont be enough or will my muscle grow but slower? also what protein do u recommend for fast muscle growth?

  • NON WORKOUT DAYS MEAL PLAN

    You need to have protein with every meal..you should be eating 6 meals per day...you should be getting your protein through various sources (lean meats (chicken), tuna, greek yogurt, fish, protein shakes

    Breakfast: protein/carbs

    Mid-morning: protein/carbs

    Lunch: protein/fat

    Mid-afternoon: protein/fat

    Evening: protein/fat

    Pre-bed: protein/fat

  • @marcroops should you take protein shakes on days you do not work out?

  • @nanabuluku - You need to have protein with every meal..you should be eating 6 meals per day...you should be getting your protein through various sources (lean meats (chicken), tuna, greek yogurt, fish, protein shakes ..

    sooo that being said, if there is a meal (mid morning snack or before bed, where you want to use a protein shake - GO FOR IT

    Breakfast: protein/carbs

    Mid-morning: protein/carbs

    Lunch: protein/fat

    Mid-afternoon: protein/fat

    Evening: protein/fat

    Pre-bed: protein/fat

  • @marcroops hey thanks. really appreciate your help.

  • You say don't use protein powder as a full time substitute and get protein from real food. Does that still mean I should use a scoop or 2 as you suggested 3 times a day?

    I'm trying to get in shape due to interest in MMA and I'm new to the whole fitness deal so whatever tips you could give would be great. I've watched a lot of your video and they're really good

  • @taylort123

    It doesn't matter as long as you get your daily protein...

    Look at the nutrient facts and look how much grams of protein is in per scoop.

    Your daily protein gram should be how much you weigh example...

    Say you weigh 180 pounds then your daily intake of protein in grams should 180 grams of protein.

    Try to estimate how much protein is in each scoop and try to keep track how much protein you have eaten including the protein powder.

    But for the scoops, 2 scoops 3 times is fine.

  • if i take protein 2 times per day (in the morning and after training) does that mean that i have to god running or just exercise so my body burns?

  • @polishskaterdude32 Hey Polish...Whether you work out or not..YOU SHOULD EAT PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL..that means at least 5-6x per day...Doesn't matter if you are a regular JOE or a top level ATHLETE...Protein is key to Muscle building, fat burning, you name it..this is NOT NEGOTIALBLE

    Get as much protein from whole, clean foods...Protein video to follow

  • I have a ?.......when is the best time to drink the protein after i mix it......befor or after i get a hard lift in...

  • @justina9876 Justina...you can have a protein shake about 30-45 min before you work out (make sure you have a slow-digesting carb as well, to give you the energy for you workout) then right after your training session, but make sure yu have a full meal - with carbs/Protein/Healthy Fat. an hour after your workout, to replenish, recoup and ensure you body is gettign the energy and nutrients it needs to burn fat not hold on to it because you are starving yourself

  • @marcroops its better to take a carb after the work out with the protien shake

  • I dont train weights but I workout very hard things like push ups sit ups sitting into the wall and many other hard exercises I do that three times a week and it takes 1 and a half hour then I drink a protein powder called " 85% protein drink (body shaper)" and my question is will it make me fat? ( by the way I am a basketball player so I train and work out every single day)

  • @98639816 That all depends on the type of protein you are drinking - if you are drinking the weight gainer, then yes you will gain weight - if you are taking whey protein then NO

    The key is you have to have protein with every meal (more from food then from powders) - this video is the best times to have protein powder whenyou can't necessrily get it from food.

    I got extremely ripped having my protein this way and I'm 43

  • @marcroops Yeah it says in the description that has milk protein, egg protein, whey protein and whey protein isolate is that like weight gainer protein? I am sorry if I ask a lot but I really need to know and I cant trust those who sell it to me.

    Thanks.

  • @98639816 - go with Whey Protein if you want to get ripped - with water

  • the code doesnt work funk roberts

  • @StopABUSE12 Send me an email - funkroberts@gmail.com if it still doesn't work - try funkroberts or funkmma

  • so for example if its friday and i wake up and take protein does that mean i HAVE to work out in the day?

  • @polishskaterdude32 HEy Polish - you should be eating protein with each meal...not necessarily protein powder, you need protein with every meal and snack

  • Great vid Funk. Very informative. Whats your thoughts on Creatine?

  • @Invictus006 um i wouldnt use creatine.....its verry bad for your body if you use it alot.....and it takes minerals from your body .....and espesialy from your bones.....

  • He said 80 to 90% should be protein from food. So multiply by .8 or .9, and that's what you need from food. Then subract the number you got with your bodyweight. That's what you need from protein powders.

    And remember, only meat proteins are full proteins. They have all essential amino acids, so they're superior to plants, etc.

    No offense vegetarians :P

  • funk, dont you mean amino acids? amino acids are the building blocks for body, protein is the middle man because it breaks down into amino acids.

  • @marcroops well, i guess you don't know to much about nutrition.

  • great vid! thanks, i try to only take it to give me energy in addition to a meal or if i've missed a meal. i am concerned with the sugar! i always use fruit. so b4 bed? i just imagined that the sweeteners would attack me. but yu shed some light on the repair while we sleep. will try to omit the fruit at night. will try milky whey! thanx again

  • great vid! thanks, i try to only take it to give me energy in addition to a meal or if i've missed a meal. i am concerned with the sugar! i always use fruit. so b4 bed? i just imagined that the sweeteners would attack me. but yu shed some light on the repair while we sleep. will try to omit the fruit at night.

  • Can under 18 use this 3 times per day?

  • so what protein is the one that helps you get bigger and huge and gain weight?

  • hey, what protein powder is good to get ripped and lean like well toned muscles but not body building huge muscles cause im an ameteure boxer and traing 3 times a week and im 13 theres matrix whey protein or miky whey protein waht one is the best ? please respond thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • sorry but i cnt watch the clip as for my slow shitty internet but could u answer 1 question for me? as im useing Mass protein drink when is the best time to drink it? b4 training? after training?

    thanks

  • Hey Funk I've been using Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein for a while mostly because it tastes good and mixes easily. How does the Milky Whey compare? If you've ever used the Gold Standard stuff before.

  • @ThaiBox2007 I've never used Gold Standard, but I have used and tried quite an array of Protein Powders. For me, nothing compares to the taste of Milky Whey, in fact, just had my Healthy Count Chocula Breakfast, using Milky Whey

  • @marcroops Awesome man thanks for the reply. I'll make it my next protein purchase and try it out!

  • @ThaiBox2007 have you tried any other flavoures and if you have what one is tasty ?

  • @chrisc78463 For the gold standard stuff my personal favorite is "extreme milk chocolate" but all the flavours are good. I found the "rocky road" (i think that's whats its called) was too sweet after a while. I haven't tried the milky whey yet. I found that where I live its only a good deal if you buy a lot, and I don't want a whole bunch if I end up not liking it.

  • I love supplement source!

    I ordered more milky whey last week along with protein bars and multivitamins. The shipment took a day longer, so they threw in another box of bars, a magazine, and a bunch of samples. They appreciate your business!

    Love it.

  • I LIKE YOUR INTRO MUSIC!

  • your videos are a real help

  • That aint no joke man lol .....Right on Funk

  • i use GNC whey protien

  • I definitely have to get my abs like yours!

  • You have the same protein shake bottle... So cool. :)

  • good luck on the thai fight ... you should record and post the fight

  • @bjjaddict88 It will be no worries - you can follow my entire journey at the funkmma website

  • Good info right there, no BS!

  • Very helpful video, thanks. I take casein protein before bed, do you recommend whey over casein at night time?

  • @thegodofdays The only time you need to take whey protein is right when you wake up and right after your workout...theres no need to take another serving before bed when it comes to whey!! Take slower digesting protein such as whole food protein before bed...Whey assimilates in the body to quickly therfore it is wasteful to take before bed. also it costs more to take more whey, too save a buck stick to when you wake up and before bed...Casein, eggs,chicken, red meat before bed...

  • @foolioperez the end part i meant after workouts SORRY!

  • @thegodofdays I like whey much much better, it's the best type of protein along with eggs

  • @marcroops whey digests in 40 minutes. It's better to have casein before bed because it takes more like 3-5 hours to digest it.

  • @thegodofdays ... mix it up .. 50% whey (immediate availability).. 50 % casein ( long term protein availability ) .. (research it .. muscle and fitness & maximum fitness)

  • @Reignunlimited If you have themoney to buy all that Whey then go for it, but simple, cost effective - remember Reign Unlimited the Supplement companies own the magazines so be aware

  • @marcroops .. Well this advice is for those who are serious about training and budget their supp. money wisely.. for example I stopped wasting funds on fat burners and energy drinks etc.. and put towards proven foods like whey and casein.. so it really isnt alot money if you cut out the B.S. This whey/casein combo (1-2 scoops each) has worked for me and knowing that my body is getting protein around the clock in addition to solid food. Good Luck.

  • @Reignunlimited I could not have said it better myself - awesome advice - you ROCK!!!!!

    You heard it people, Reign has said it best...CUT THE BS and INVEST in proven foods and nutrition

  • Hey Funk, who will you be fighting?

  • @5till13lazin a Thai fighter

  • @marcroops good luck Funk.
