    Lets hear how many protein shakes do you have a day?

    How many shakes do you have a day? Right now I have one in the morning and one after I work out .... somtimes before bed . I use 1% milk and On 100% whey.

    Curious , How many scoops do you use of protein powder?
    - How many protein shakes do you have a day and why?
    - What do you mix it with?
    - Do you think its good to have a protein shake before bed?
    - If you eat alot of protein during the day , do you change up how many shakes you have?

    1 shake before bed.

    2 scoops (Cioncidentally, the same brand you use)

    Banana, olive oil, 2% milk, frozen strawberries

    Whey protein wouldn't be the absolute best type of protein to eat particularly before bed, but a whey protein shake wouldn't hurt either. You'd want slow digesting protein ot keep you through your sleep. A lot of people eat cottage cheese (a good sourse of casein) right before bed straight out of a tub. I'd want to try to eat some with strawberries, since its been getting a lot of acclaim lately.

    Yep. I only drink my shakes if I'm in a caloric deficit for the day and need to fill up some extra cals and/or protein and fats.

    1 shake. There's no substitute for a meal. I just use whey to get in that extra protein.

    1 after a workout. Sometimes if I'm feeling way too lethargic to cook and I need some protein, I'll do another. Luckily my energy levels have been pretty good lately so this hasn't happened. Can't wait to start bulking. 1 pre-workout, 1 post-workout, and 1 post-post workout shake. Nitrean is teh pwn.

    - How many protein shakes do you have a day and why?
    Depends. If I'm on UD2.0, several of my meals will be casein shakes. This is because I'm a vegetarian and it's hard to find other sources of protein without any carbs. On a bulk I normally have whey pre and post workout and I always have a pre bed casein shake.

    - What do you mix it with?
    H20.

    - Do you think its good to have a protein shake before bed?
    See above

    - If you eat alot of protein during the day , do you change up how many shakes you have?
    No, because I don't drink them just for the protein content per se, I drink them in order to get the protein in the right form at the right time - fast digesting whey post workout and slow digesting casein before bed.

    2 weightgainers shakes a day, 1 whey protein shake post workout (with sugar), and one whey shake in the middle of the night. So 4, give or take. All shakes are made with 2-3 cups of skim milk.

    between 2-4. Not really big shakes though, only use about 4 scoops of whey a day.
    "It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

    Richard Dawkins


    "Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

    When I'm bulking I'll have, say, 2.5 servings of Nlarge2 a day perhaps.

    Right now, clean cutting, I'll have maybe 30g whey in the morning with breakfast, then 60-80g post workout, and if I've in a time crunch I'll make a midday meal something like a small pbj sandwich on low carb bread, some fruit, and 50g whey. Something like that.
