How many protein shakes do you drink a day

**alpineslide** · 10-04-2003, 08:19 AM

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.

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

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

**bornbad71** · 10-04-2003, 11:05 AM

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

**usualsuspect** · 10-04-2003, 11:19 AM

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.

***BIG TEXAN*** · 10-04-2003, 10:30 PM

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

LORDBLiTZ · 10-04-2003, 10:38 PM

3 in the daytime and 2 more throughout the night.

**DBarcelo** · 10-05-2003, 08:29 AM

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

**TheJuicer** · 10-05-2003, 09:38 AM

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

**GetPsycho** · 10-06-2003, 09:03 AM

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** · 10-09-2003, 09:20 AM

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** · 10-10-2003, 12:23 PM

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

**pumpseeker** · 10-10-2003, 01:44 PM

Usually around 4 including PWO

**TheMudMan** · 10-11-2003, 08:23 AM

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

**fyerstarter** · 10-11-2003, 08:44 PM

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** · 10-13-2003, 09:29 AM

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

**Polska** · 10-13-2003, 11:06 AM

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

Exactly the same with me!

**hoss827** · 10-13-2003, 01:27 PM

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** · 10-13-2003, 01:28 PM

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

**hoss827** · 10-13-2003, 01:29 PM

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** · 10-13-2003, 05:27 PM

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** · 10-13-2003, 05:45 PM

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.

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

**Gear** · 10-19-2003, 07:36 AM

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

**Diesel** · 10-19-2003, 08:17 AM

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

**Mr. Death** · 10-19-2003, 09:52 AM

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** · 10-20-2003, 09:29 AM

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

**FmRommel** · 10-21-2003, 06:34 PM

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

**realityarts** · 10-27-2003, 11:26 AM

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** · 11-06-2003, 10:50 AM

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** · 11-06-2003, 11:13 AM

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...

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** · 11-17-2003, 11:16 PM

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

Each one has 50g Protein (Precision Whey)

**calidude** · 11-26-2003, 01:01 PM

2-3 a day.

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** · 12-05-2003, 11:33 AM

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.

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

**DARKSEID** · 12-31-2003, 12:21 AM

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** · 01-01-2004, 03:16 PM
