How many protein shakes do you drink a day

[alpineslide]

I drink about 4-5 protein shakes a day. I'd like to get more of my protein from real food, but I drive a truck all day. It's so convenient to just pour some water into my shaker bottle with powder.

[SwoleCat]

It digests way too fast, leaving your body w/nothing to pull from.

3 max w/3 solid meals at every other meal.

~SC~

[bornbad71]

I consume 2-3 per day....post workout shake is my most important.

[usualsuspect]

at least 4.

meal 1-protein shake/flax with eggs
pre-workout-shake w/ flax
post workout-2 scoops
before bed-protein/flax

and sometimes in conjuction with pre-workout meals, depending on my appetite.

~US~

[BIG TEXAN]

On the norm for me, 3 max. 1 pre-workout, pwo, 2am. Other than that 5-6 solid meals.

[LORDBLiTZ]

3 in the daytime and 2 more throughout the night.

[DBarcelo]

I drink between 3 and 4 per day, plus I eat foods that are high in protein content.

[TheJuicer]

2-44g shakes...Pro-Rated!!

[GetPsycho]

AM workout days:
2 scoops whey pre workout
2 scoops whey post workout
1 scoop blended protein before bed

PM workout days:
2 scoops post workout
1 scoop blended protein before bed

off days:
1 scoop blended protein before bed

given the choice between a whole food meal and an MRP, i go with the food every time. i love food way too much

[cb25]

Usually 2 a day for me...one in the middle of class (hard to eat a good meal during lecture) and one post-workout...

[Testify]

Pre-workout & post-workout only. But I also eat 2 protein bars a day, between meals. Do they count toward the total?

[pumpseeker]

Usually around 4 including PWO

[TheMudMan]

I drink 2 to 3...... pre workout, pwo, and one in the middle of the night with flax

[fyerstarter]

I drink 2 per day on non-workout days. I look forward to them everyday like a desert.

Here are my two daily shakes for anyone who wants to try em:

Banana Cream

2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
8oz 2% Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Pudding Mix (fat free, sugar free)
1 banana
1 tbl flax
8oz water
3 ice cubes

Chocolate Peanut Butter

2 scoops chocolate protein powder
8oz milk
2 tbl nat. peanut butter
2 tsp butterscotch pudding mix (fat free, sugar free)
8oz water
3 ice cubes

[mass junkie]

1-2 a day................anymore than that would make my feces soft

[BIG TEXAN]

1-2 a day................anymore than that would make my feces soft

LMAO!!!! That's what is called info overload bro!!!!!!!

[Polska]

I drink six to eight a day.... one with every meal and pre and post work out. I go through those things way too fast. A 5 pounder lasts me a week

[AMsupafly]

2-44g shakes...Pro-Rated!!

Exactly the same with me!

[hoss827]

I take in 2-3 a day...When I first started it gave me mega-shits. What sucks is the main reason I take it in is because my parents get shitty with me on how much I eat...They started making me pay for my own food during summer when I had a job, 200$ a week for food, gained 40 pounds. But I still ate the 3 meals a day for free, plus an additional 6

[hoss827]

Pro Rated is 44g a shake?!!!!!

[hoss827]

I've tried EAS which was 19 a shake...Now I'm up to some other kind, fairly good with 23 grams a shake in only one scoop.

[AMsupafly]

Pro Rated is 44g a shake?!!!!!

Nope, one scoop is 22. 44g is using two scoops. It is pretty cheap so you can go through it fast; it is only $19.89 for 6 lbs. if you shop at Costco.

[hoss827]

Thank's bro, i'm gonna check out some of that now. I payed 29$ for five pounds...this shits better and alot cheaper, heh.

[AMsupafly]

Yeah, no shipping since you can just pick it up instead of having to order

[Gear]

4 shakes a day i find is enough for me with 6 solid meals during the day

[Diesel]

One per day. I find I get better results having the majority of my pro. intake come from natural food.

D

[Mr. Death]

I take 3, 44g shakes a day. I'd like to just take one post-workout, but it's hard to get to 350g-400g a day with just food.

[New GearGuy]

Usually around 3 , when I am on the jobsite and cant get any real food!

[FmRommel]

Usually 2....but sometimes a couple more if I cant get to any good food...

[realityarts]

I try to use mostly food, but 1 or 2 shakes here and there sure come in handy - especially when I am in a hurry.

[British Bulldog]

I consume one first thing in the morning and another immediately after my workout. The rest of my protein intake comes from tuna and chicken.

[Warrior]

Depends. Depends on how much I can get from whole food sources. If I am having one of those days where I have less time than usual - I'll slam a few Myoplexes for a quick fix. The ultimate goal is simply not to starve the building process...

It digests way too fast, leaving your body w/nothing to pull from.

3 max w/3 solid meals at every other meal.

~SC~

thats if u use whey, a fast digesting powder. i think a combo of soy/egg/casein yields a much higher biological value. and since casein is so large it takes up to 6 hrs to fully break down, keeping u anabolic throughout the day

[RoNNy THe BuLL]

Around 2-3. Depending on if I worked out or not and my present count.

Each one has 50g Protein (Precision Whey)

[calidude]

2-3 a day.

[Red Ketchup]

It digests way too fast, leaving your body w/nothing to pull from.

3 max w/3 solid meals at every other meal.

~SC~

i also have roughly 3 shakes ED... but never on their own... I always try to eat something solid along with the shake to slow down digestion... hopefully thats not just a waste...

[decadbal]

i used to drink as many as i could affford, which was 3-6. now i get all my nutrients from food and have gotten much better gains, i would urge everyone to try it for a month or two and see if they agree.

[Elliot]

1-2 a day................anymore than that would make my feces soft

i second that.. i have 1-2 isolate with one of them being pwo with dex..

[DARKSEID]

4-5, + 4 meals
2 used as weight gainers, 1 post workout, 1 in the middle of sleep, sometimes 1 pre workout with a meal. Don't have time at work for 3 meals so 2 have to be quick.

[Sorken]
