When to take my Protein shake??

magsiboy · 01-05-2006, 04:40 PM

Hi everyone,
im currently trying to lower my body fat % and currently doing weights and cardio everyday.
ive just bought some protein shakes, and am confused to when i should drink it e.g Morning, before training, after training.

Im sure most of you take protien shakes! so hit me with your replys please

after your workout, and any other time where you need to bump up protein, because theres too little in the meal...

Definitely first thing in the morning and post workout. Depending on your pre workout strategy possibly then too.

i assume your protien shake is just protien and contains no carbs. i take a whey protien with some meals. i do not use protien shakes as a meal replacement. To replace meals i use Myoplex meal replacement and ill take 2 of these each day between my 3 or 4 food meals which are all low if any in carbs.

Young gun's advice here is right on the money.

If your shake is protein only add some carbs to your after workout drink, something as simple as a banana is perfect.

I've been told to take them 1st thing in the morning, 1 between 10-11 in the morning, definately 1 straight after a workout and 1 at bed time.

I hope this advice is close on the mark :?: it works for me.

Only down side is that you go through s**t loads of protein!! :?

You are going to go thru plenty protein with that regime, if you are eating plenty high protein meals daily you may be able to cut back on the shakes a bit.

How much protein are you getting from each shake?
