Too many shakes?

[Newbie1819]

-Can you possibly have too many shakes in one day? I mean if you're trying to get over 250g of protein and upwards of 400g doesn't it seem essential. I am having three at times, but of different types, is that alright?

-Also whats the general consensus on raw eggs?

-When someone tells you to eat 5 egg whites they mean 5 boiled eggs without the yolk?

Thanks

you can get to 275-300 or more protein a day w/out ANY shakes, I try to keep mine to PWO only, but once in a while I'll use some whey to make a semi meal if 100% unavoidable... but your body has a harder time digesting them then regular food, IMO 3 a day is not good... buy a lot of chicken breast, in bulk quantities it helps. and egg whites is pretty self explanitory, although I eat my eggs whole, if your so inclined to go the egg white route, yes u take the yolk out but you don't have to boil them, u can cook it like normal just take the yolk out first.

shakes should be pre and post workout only

yep, and at night time supplementing casein protein would be effective as well...jammy's a london broil guy i feel casein is a great supplement for your night time fast

So then on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I lift in the morning and then run in the evening I can take a shake after each and then one bofore bed to supplement casein?

[jamyjamjr]

yea, that's a bit too much, but it can be done.... u can omit the casein shake for london broil and cottage cheese

I do not believe shakes to be a bad thing when used a supplement and not a replacement for real food. I drink upwards of 3 whey shakes a day sometimes. But always after a solid meal containing real lean protein. Easy way to add 120cal to a meal.

Yea I mean I guess I don't understand the logistics behind how it disperses through the body but its always comforting knowing you can throw back some extra calories and protein with a few gulps. Is there anything you can add to make a shake more efficient?


On a side note, I know I haven't been here long but I've wondered whether the avatars with hot chicks could ever possibly be the actual member, no?

more efficent? in what regards you can add BCAA, creatine, waxy maize startch (phate), lol in some scnearios a fruit? depends on your goals and when your drinking the shake

i think we wish they were

[Newbie1819]

Sorry guys have to ask this. Might sound retarded but something confused me so I gotta. Is one boiled egg equal to one egg white??

[eatrainrest]

one hard boiled egg WHITE is equal to one egg white

when did i say he couldnt buy egg whites seperate? he asked about boiling real eggs and i said you dont have to boil them, this is what isnt true??? i dont understand your statement... and yes you can go ahead and buy your processed crap egg whites in a box if your so inclined, ill stick to real eggs

[fleckaveli]

Drinking liquid egg whites is a fast, easy way to get 50 grams of fast acting protein. If when you say processed, you mean pasteurized, then ok, I'll stick with them.

On a side note, I tried pasteurizing my own eggs for cost-effectiveness. It worked, but lets just say I'm sticking with my processed crap egg whites in a box.

proccesed eggs

"such as liquid egg whites or dried egg whites are shell eggs broken by special machines then pasturized before being further processed and packaged in liquid, frozen, or dried form. processed egg products may also contain flavor or color
additives."


have fun with those fast acting convienant PROCESSED egg whites in a box, once again I'll stick to the real deal

[Jfew44]

I don't doubt that there are some liquid egg whites that are processed. The ones I eat, and any I can buy at my local grocery store are pasteurised and tested for salmonella & listeria. No preservatives, No chemicals, No colourings or No gums. 100% nothing added or taken away.

I am not trying to start anything with you, only letting other members know that there are liquid egg whites that are just that: 100% egg whites. You can continue eating whatever you want. If you can find a scientific article that backs up your claims I'm all ears tho bro.

I drink egg beaters twice a day

[Newbie1819]

Well having to eat 7 egg whites is a pain in the ass...if there is actually a way to drink them then thats good news

not tryin 2 start anything either, it's all good... see I eat organic stuff I'm a big believer in it, so I eat free range eggs (NOT cage free, there's a difference) I sometimes eat them raw, which is a great way to not denature and alter the proteins and vitamins you can get from not heating them. yes, pasteurization kills bacteria, but these bacteria can easily be fought off by your body if you eat properly and let your body know it has to build up immunities to these bacteria.
some people will have more of a bad reaction to micro organisms then others, but IMO it's not a good reason to
essentially kill your food (well at least most of the nutrients u SHOULD b getting with the food) think of it
this way, the more nutrients you take in, the healthier you'll be so your body will have a much easier time recovering from intense workouts, thus, more gains. here's a good article on pasteurization, it's mostly about raw milk vs pasteurized, but it applies to eggs just the same

2 giant gulps of egg beaters and a banana is a nice snack

[Newbie1819]

What are other alternatives besides eggbeaters and boiled egg whites....I have a hard time eating boiled eggs everyday, its a battle to say the least...
