How much do you weigh? Kakaroto is right, food must be your prior protein source. If you can eat your daily protein intake with food, there is no use for supplementing with protein shakes besides after your workout.

I vary six mini meals a day. No worries I enjoy meat, chicken just happens to be my favorite food. But reading up on an artical in Fitness Magazine it recomends Whey Powder to help lose weight and help achieve defined abdominals. So I if anyone has a suggestion about the apx. about that should be taken daily, please let me know.

they tell you to consumme whey protein powder because the more protein you eat, the more fat you will lose.
but why taking powder when you can have a whole meal?
