Thread: How many per day?????

  1. #1

    Question How many per day?????

    How many protien shakes do you typically drink per day? I'm drinking (2) shakes per day. One in the morning with breakfast and one post workout.

    Is that enough? Thanks!

    3 a day. 24 grams of Whey mixed with a pint of milk as soon as I wake up. 24 grams of Whey mixed in a pint of water straight after a workout. 26 grams of Casein mixed in a pint of milk with a small high protein meal straight before I got to bed.

    I ususally drink 2 per day, but I try to minimize the amount of protein that I get from shakes so some days I drink 1 a day and get more protein from food.

    Their was one time I was sick as a dog, and didnt want to lose muscle cause I was on cycle, and I couldnt eat nothing, so I forced myself really hard to drink 4 shakes and tons of food. I threw up so ill never drink that many ever again haha

    Personally I take two..pre & post workout, & the right amount really depends on the person, My goal is to get 200 grams of protein a day but i ended up taking less ..anyway supposedly your protien intake should be as much as your weight.

    example: Power_of_youth weight: 195 lbs = 195 grams of protein

    hope this helped a little

    a solid food source is best.

    I, at most, take in 2 a day.
