  • helooo I use the whey proten can u tell me how many time take it in the day

    thnx

  • Hi @MsSam1111 - I pretty much agree with @yanal1234567890 here about taking a 'Pre' and 'Post' workout shake (IF you choose to take protein shakes at all). Portion size will depend on the specific whey you're using, your own body weight, your daily calorie needs, AND the other calories you consume throughout the day. Ultimately, try to make sure at least half your daily meals come from whole food meals. (Finally, some like to include 3 shakes per day, depending on calories needs/lifestyle etc..)

  • So for example if I'm 80kg I need 160grams of protein?

  • hi,im 19 and im really skinny,i decided to go to workout,and take protein. for how much time i will get the diference at my body? please answer i need to know so bad:( sorry for bad english.thanks

  • @zintars1

    Your body needs from 2-5 grams of protein per Kilo of your weight.

    If you are a beginner and not a well trained bodybuilder, start with 2grams per kilo

    Your body needs proteins after you've been working out, so take your proteins after workouts. Days when your not working out, you can drink protein but split that amount on 4 different meals day. Example: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and supper

  • hi :) if i go to gym 3 days a week then should i take protein only before my workout and after ,or should i use it in days when im not working out too? :)

  • 2 scoops of creatine. One before working out and one after. (creatine mixed with apple juice). Then followed by 136g of Whey protein after working out, mixed with milk.

    i'm 68kg, in case you were wondering why it was 136g.

    Days when i'm not working out, take two scoops of creatine, one when you wake up and one when you go to bed. Work out four days a week. Monday- Friday, two days with rest and back on track. What else do i need and what did i miss?

  • @icemanx13464

    this is horrible information, wtf were you thinking?

  • Thanks soo much. And your information is really accurate! I spoke with my primary care physician and a dietian and both pretty much said the same thing.

  • I also recommend add either some banana slices or some blue berrys for added flavor.

  • @Briannorris33 i fully agree with you. I eat ever 2 to 3 hours a day so i can get my daily supply of protein.

    For anyone that is struggling on getting enough protein or is just getting tired of drinking a lot of shakes, try and buy some instant oatmeal packs either regular or high fiber. Cook one packet with a little extra water and then when its cooked get 2 scoops of protein powder and mix them into your oatmeal till it no longer has the powder look. I recommend vanilla as the powder.

  • @MrAshToast In order to get the additional grams of protein you can simply eat more meals. When attempting to lose weight and increase metabolism, it's common for people to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. If you split your protein between this number of meals you easily take in the 1 gram of protein/ lbs of weight with or without protein shakes. I have been doing this myself for the last 8 months with great results both in terms of fat loss and muscle gain.
