Questions that need answering.

[Shouji]

So I finally got some Nitro Tech Advanced Whey. Good stuff, but I need to know some things to get maximum results with it... So here they go!

1) How much .oz of liquid (I use Gatorade) in each shake that I make? The Instructions say to use 8 oz, which is roughly 1/3 of a Gatorade bottle.
2) Should I take these before meals, or after... and when?
3) Should I take these before workouts, or after... or both?
4) Should I use the blender, or naturally shake it to mix it?
5) In your opinion, should I mix anything else in it? I use Gatorade, and the mix is Tropical flavored... should I add anything like fruits in it?
Thanks again all!

are you saying you mix gatorade with your protein powder?

[Shouji]

Yeah, is that bad?:help:

:help:

i don't see the reason why, why not mix your whey with water or milk

Gatorade taste's good.

I stopped using gatorade when I found out they use hydrogenated oils in the crystals. Terrible stuff.

I suggest that you stop using gatorade. Use dextrose if you insist on using a simple sugar. It's cheaper, has less chemical residue, and doesn't have trans fats in it.

I would suggest that you take the protein powder post workout. Remember that it isn't a magic bullet. Your other several thousand calories make up the portion that is the most important.

Also the other questions!

Also the other questions!

You need to work out the following:

Total Cals/day

Total Grams of Fat/day
Total Grams of Carbs/day
Total Grams of Protien/day

Total # of meals/day

Then you can do some simple division:

For sake of easy math lets go with 200 grams of protein/day and 5 meals.

Thats 40g's of protein/meal.

Trust me there are two ways to eat:

1) Knowing what you eat daily
2) Fumbling around in the dark

Really I cannot think of anythign better then a whey protein shake mixed with milk. Fantastic post workout.

For pre-workout I usually just buy an energy drink. Caffiene, maltodextrin, taurine etc. Helps me stay focused on a cut.

Just giving you what I do, hope it helps.

But yes you should always use a blender. I really havent come across anything that mixes well without it. I also dont like gatorade, just dosent seem like it would do anything for me.
