Steve, I'm a heavy set man who does "high intensity" exercise such as weight training,basketball, and hip-hop dancing. I drink water after lifting weights, should a heavy set guy like myself switch to protein shakes?

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@RapRnB4u NO! Just total your daily calorie intake and then lower it. More protein will not help with weight loss. It's total daily calories that matter and then creating a calorie deficit each day.

I'm a 27 y/o female, 5'1" 110lbs. I've been running for an hour 5.5-6 miles, 3-4 times a week for 2 months. On my off days, I do a 20min circuit training. But I wanted a post workout drinks after a run, because sometimes I don't want to eat anything, and when I finally want something to eat, I'm starving and over eat a little. I'm afraid this will lead to a binge soon. I'd think I'd be able to stomach liquid better than solids after a run. Are my workouts intense enough to drink a protein shake?

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@fitnesschaser01 Definitely! Having some Gatorade and then eating a normal meal would probably be the best. But if you just want a protein shake make it with some type of sweetened drink like Gatorade or fruit juice. This will help replace lost glycogen and give you protein.

Im 19 years old and 5"10 at 165 pounds. I Lift weights heavily mon-fri seperating each muscle group per day like chest,bis,tris,legs, etc. But i was wondering whats the general amount of calories i should consume to gain mucsle mass?. The grams per protein isnt the problem its how much of other things i should consume. Thankyou, Love your body!!!

@brandenrichey09 Gaining mass comes from lifting. Worry about that, not eating.

@soldierside365 You make complete sense, I am a body builder, and when you say we want to pack on muscle fast but we look fat, well that is true because we try to eat soooooo much and try to gain the most amount of weight, but it is perfectly normal that after two three months we have a higher body fat percentage, but when cutting season comes, we lost alllll of that fat easily with nutrition and training :)

@jugnination Most of his videos are made for people who are overweight. The same rules of diet don't apply to someone who needs to lose 70 lbs.

[CrimsonKumiho]

@jugnination You don't need to eat a lot more if you work out. Just enough calories to make up for the amount spent working out. Muscle growth only happens when you're healing. He didn't say anything about gaining muscle from not keeping a healthy diet. Just that you probably don't need a post workout drink. I, personally, just cut back my calories enough so that I can have a post workout drink or meal since my appetite is maxed then and it keeps me from overeating later on.

@BodyPerformanceTV what the fcuk dude?? you can lift the whole gym and you wont gain shit unless you eat right and eat 'enough'.

excellent...

@dabul2003

the body can make protein by itself, so as long as you have sufficient protein in your diet anyway, the rest is done by your body.. the argument i think uses the logic that the more you eat, the more food is available for the body to grow and repair so that you're constantly gaining and not losing mass, but usually its in excess which makes people trying to put muscle on fast look fat. i may not be 100% but im just giving you an educated guess :P hope i helped/ made sense

[MrMethadrine]

bs.if u dont want calories just go with a low carbs protein shake.Protein is essential for those who workout.Plus some of them have valuable aminos-bcas in them. Its an easy fast way to establish ur nutrition demands.Not everybody build their lives around gym.And not everybody have the time to cook or eat 10 cans of tuna a week.So time is precious.Supplyments DO work.Good diet also.Combine those 2 with hard workout and there u go.
