Please post:
How much scoops (grams) you mix
With What
How many shakes a day


Me:
1 scoop 30g
2% milk (ive heard skim is better)
2 shakes, one in the morning, 1 after training

this makes up about 60% of my protein intake.

First of hello and welcome.

You will learn ALOT here

Ok well your protein intake is WAYyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too low.

You really should only get approx 30% of your protein intake from shakes unless it is IMPOSSIBLE>

So tell us how tall you are how much you weigh and what % body fat and we can help you more.

weird.. i posted at least 15 posts and its showing 2, oh well.

I am 165 right now, 8% fat. Well i get 30g+10g(milk) so thats 40x2 thats 80grams per day from shakes, and about 80 more grams from 3to4 meals thats about 160g's, sounds a bit low?

Right now I mix...16 oz of milk with 2.5 scoops of 20 gram protien then put 1 scoop of hot choco mix in there with a nice large spooning of natty PB...this is about 65 grams of protein and I will have this 4 times a day usuallly. that is about half my protein or 50% of it since i try to get 450+ every day

You should be trying to get from 275-325 on protein a day...If you bump ur protein intake up to 300 a day I garantee u start seeing better results in the gym.

Ok, 5 meals and 3 shakes it is Should i switch to skim milk?

[speakle]

If I dont have time to eat a meal during the day 2 scoops whey with 2 tblspoons of olive oil.
2 scoops whey with 1/4 cup maltodextrin and 4 tblspoons of dextrose pwo.
I always mix with water.
I get about 275-300g of protein a day.

How do you know you are 8%? And PLEASE do not tell me your friend looked at you and told you. We have already covered this your friends don't know **** and are giving you bad advice, like telling you NOT to drink water while working out.

I had it measured in my gym...
I never said my friend told me that, i said people and a doctor. Why such attitude? i am just trying to lean.

Skim milk is fat free. I would use 2% if I desperately need the cals. 1.5-2g of protein per lb of bodyweight is needed to gain. And water is also needed especially with a higher protein intake.

Hey I said WELCOME

No attitude just goofing with the new guy.

Stick around and have some fun and learn.

[Rebel]

I usually stick with either skim or 1% but it does not really matter to me. If u get ur diet and protein in check you will see much better gains. How long have you been lifting? What is your program like?

[nas7]

Thanks guys.

Lifting for 2 years, gained about 20lbs naturally, got my diet in check just 6 months ago, shooting for 185lbs 5%. Lift 4 times a week, do cardio 2'ce a week, fast metabolism doesnt hurt.

pre I mix some BCAA's, taurine, citrulline malate, ALCAR, L-tyrosine, and a banana and ice with 1/2-1 scoop of whey in the blender. gnarly, but it gets me fired up. cup of coffee for the double fist. Post w/o I mix 1.5 scoops whey with some frozen berries or just ice and water, and pour it over cereal or oatmeal. Post w/o is my good excuse to eat a big pile of simple-carb saturated, sugar-laden cereal that I otherwise take great pains to avoid given their place on the glycemic index. love breakfast post w/o, even if its at 5:00pm!

[Grant]

I mix 1 scoop (26gs) in water, a few times a day.

[lionel]

Yeah, water for me too.. dieting now and milk doesn't play a part in it! I love milk in the offseason though. Talking bout skim milk, how much carbs do yours have usually?

[RobInKuwait]

My post workout shake:

3 scoops of all the whey banana flavored (60grams protein)
2 cups oatmeal (100ish grams carbs)
2 bananas (no macronutrient label on side )
1 cup egg whites (some more protein)
1 cup skim milk (more protein)
dash of vanilla extract (makes it taste really good)

[punta]

Choc whey with 10oz milk - drink like water approx protein ( 30 grams )
Protein shake 2 scoops vanilla whey, 15 oz milk, 1 bannana, 1 tablespoon peanut butter.
approx protein ( 65-70 grams )
