Protien Shake

nursejessie Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/09/01	2007/09/04, 01:08 AM What type of protien shake can I take? What ingredientsdo I use? When should I have a shake ie) breakfast or after a workout. I'm 22, active, just aiming to lose a few pounds and tone up. I do cardio and weight training 3-4 times a week.

That being said, remember that a shake is there only to help you supplement the diet that you already have. Clean kcals, timing, portions, etc., all need to come first. And they're all covered here, just do a search, and you'll find a ton of stuff. BTW, welcom to FTs! -------------- Michael Humble, even in Victory.

That is, you still have to 'earn' it to make it worth doing, or it is simply extra calories. ============ Quoting from dauphin: I'm 24 and i was taking whey proteing and doing a 5 day a week weigth training also included 30 min cardio warm up but i started getting a bit of a belly so i stoped taking the protein shakes.. ============= -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

MY buddy was on mammoth 2500 worked out 4/5 times a week and got a tire around is waist pretty quick lol. I got him to switch his protein to another type for our sizes and it worked better for him. He only weighed 155. ============ Quoting from dauphin: I'm 24 and i was taking whey proteing and doing a 5 day a week weigth training also included 30 min cardio warm up but i started getting a bit of a belly so i stoped taking the protein shakes.. =============

Even though someone works out 4-5 times a week, if their diet far exceeds the daily calories that their body expends, then where else do the excess calories go? You have to be very careful with weight gainers, because if you don't account for those calories they will live up to their name, and the weight you will gain will be the kind you don't want to see.
