    Too many protein shakes a day?

    In general, if you don't get enough protein out of your food, how many protein shakes would be too many in a single day? 2-3-4-5? Depending on which protein you take i.e. whey iso/mono, caseinate, soy etc...Would 4 to 5 shakes a day be pushing it?

    You should be getting most of your protein from food. 2-3 shakes a day is as much as I would do. Usually I just stick to 2 unless I can't eat for whatever reason.

    4-5 is too many.

    Its ALL about the food. Your body was designed to break down food, not shakes.

    I take 3 shakes a day. Whey before and after workout and casein before bed. I'd never do anymore than that. I get my own body weight's protein from food then I add shakes to help.

    The only real time protein shakes are extremely valued is within 15-30 minutes after your workout. I supplement with both waxy maize and whey protein post workout

    Low sugar weight gainers are pretty dec... like Mutant Mass for example. Cookies n Cream = to die for

    4 to 5 is way too much imo. you should be getting the majority of your protein from food sources like chicken and egg whites

    It all depends on your body weight and how many grams are in each shake. I usually go 1 gram per pound natty and 1.5 when cycling..
