How many times a day and when should I have a protein shake?
For now I have 1-45g shake after my work out. Should i have 1 on non work out days?

no, eat a real food protein source if possible, avoid the shakes except after worktout. How much protein do you eat in a day?

When you start Shitting strawberry milk shakes.........you know that you have hit the max

Seriously......your body should tell you when enough is enough. Most protiens are such piss poor quality that your body cant use half the protien.

It is better to get your protien from real food but I get 80g of protein fROM shakes every day. Two scoops post workout and two scoops right before i go to bed. Just what I do. And yes I take them during my off days. Not at the same time though usually when i wake up and midday.

50 g every 3 hrs

Thanks for the info guys. I got to work on my diet.
One more thing, it seems when ever I start taking a multivitamin and mineral I get sick with a cold. Is it just me or does this happen to anybody here?
