Post workout protein amounts

Keaper Posts: 100 Joined: 2003/10/21	2005/08/09, 11:08 AM I am no stranger to protein/malto/dextrose mix, however I do believe I have been over consuming protein in my post workout shake. I am currently using four scoops of whey, is this too much at once? Should I cut back to only two scoops? I have heard the body will discard extra amounts and I do not not want to waste the protein if so. My current weight is 184 lbs and around 13% body fat. -------------- Courage is being scared to death....and saddling up anyway John Wayne "When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin"
