I take one in the morning, one at lunch, one after workout, and one with milk right before I go to sleep...sometimes it's not so kool because it doesn't really fill you up like food does, and then it leaves you hungry after your normal 400 calorie meal. but right, it's just a supplement and food is better...and tastier might I add. But sometimes can be a bit more expensive

	2004/10/04, 09:32 AM To prevent the upset stomach and gas, try using whey protein isolate as opposed to the concentrate. Catsneck, for a pre-bed shake, try blending your protein with some cottage cheese, oats, and peanut butter in water. The taste isn't bad and the slow-absorbing proteins will delay the catabolic state. -------------- OSU Law Rugby....specializing in personal injury and pain & suffering.
