Cocajohnny Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/01/15	2004/01/16, 08:35 PM Hello, I'm 16 years old, and i recently started working out. I want to be able to become healthier and more fit from my current state. But i have a few questions that remain unanswered. For protein shakes, when should they be taken and how many times a day, and are they in any way detrimental to your health? And what foods are good to mix with the shakes.. i hear mixing bananas and such are bad for they slow down the digestion process is this true? Should shakes be taken b4 and after workout? If i dont take a shake b4 wat kind of foods should i eat prior to the workout. lol and lastly.. how long should one spend at the gym training, if im trying to build. Like how many exercises/sets per muscle group? three to many? 4? or 2. thanks for the help

I typically wake up take my daily dose of vitamins then have to egg whites,2 pieces of wheat toast and some oj.Then I go to gym and work out, Right after I work out I eat a protein 8 bar. After I get home and clean up then I have my protein shake. I am still getting into training and proper nutrition my self. One of the moderators or the more experienced members will help you more.
