    Its better to get your protien from food, but if food is not always available drink the hell out of them.

    This is an open ended question that is not possible to answer accurately when no one knows your entire nutritional protocol.

    Before bed is a perfect time for a shake make of a casein blend for slow digestion.

    If this is the nutritional information of the ensure you are using then it only has 6 grams of fat, which isn't too bad. Unless you have issues with milk, using milk instead of Ensure still gives you the creamy taste and the carbs and is probably cheaper, too.

    Whether or not Ensure is okay depends on your nutritional needs and situation. If cutting, then I only use the whey protein with water except for PWO.

    I drink many whey protein shakes each and every day, but I still aim to get the bulk of my protein from real food. I get in at least 300 grams of protein every day.

    tawweiliu: How much protein are you taking in every day? What is your PWO shake like?

    I'm getting the impression that you need to study up more on diet. That should have been done long before starting up on the juice.

    But 1 Ensure/day....that isn't a big deal at all. You need calories to grow. I'm not a fan of simple sugars except for those in the PWO shake, but it isn't that big'a deal.

    25 mg 3 times a day plus ensure.

    About my diet it’s a long story and you would not understand. But let me say this I can’t eat veggies and don’t ask way!

    Don't ask why, huh? Well, okay. I'm especially curious as why why I "would not understand", but as you may. I'll just offer you "good luck", then.

    I cant eat raw veggies, I am highly allergic to them, but if I steam them I can. Its very interesting, in the process of steaming something changes where I am no longer allergic. I have become allergic to whey as well. now I cant simply drink large quanities, I need to drink slowly. I have acid reflux etc as well. Milk is a problem, but I am not lactose intolerate digesting milk. Very interesting stuff

    I was being sarcastic..........this seems like a stupid question to ask. Thats like saying is 6 meals a day too much when your on juice. Is 3 shakes a day too much........man im natural and I have 3 but I dont think it matters whether your on juice or not! 4 solids and 3 liquids is ideal.

    If your drinking 3 protein shakes a day , your not eating enough real food.

    While on AAS it's hard to get 400g's or higher of protien, therefore 3 shakes is a good idea IMO

    I can conclude it by how many times you drink protein shakes.I once was drinking 3 a day, and found it to be not as good as real food. In the morning i had one. when i woke up, because i was never hungry in the morning, but then i started to force myself to eat 8 cooked eggs each morning. and wow, i started to get bigger.After a weight workout is the only place i like to get those quick protein grams in. Before bed i use to drink one as well.But i switched that to eating 3 or 4 tuna cans before bed because i read fish is slow releasing with protein.Im just going by what works for me.

    All I'm saying is consider somebody that drinks more than 3 protein shakes a day but still gets 200+ grams of protein/day from real food.

    You're right though; if whey protein is getting in the way of real food, then that isn't good.

    wake up, PWO, and prior to bed works for me. 25g/shake dosen't sound like much, but that's dependant on things pertaining to your goals, weight, etc. don't substitute protein shakes for real food.

    I eat lots.....plus 5 shakes a day with 48 grams/serving. IMO, the more protein, the better. But just have to always make sure the diet is in full check first. If it is, then drink away.....
