Is a protein shake the same protein you would get from eating a chicken or steak?

Thanks for the help. Is muscle memory that good? I've never taken a break this long before. Will I get back to where I was faster then te first time?

I've never tried before and I need someones opinion. 5'11 198lbs. I havnt worked out in about 8 months due to a knee injury that discharged me from the army. I had my surgery and recovered. Can I start a cycle or wait? I'd love to talk to someone over the phone about this if possible.

Mine just came in the mail last night. I made them this morning when I got off work and wow, I didn't expect them to be that good. I noticed I was actually scraping the bowl with a spoon after I put the batch in the fridge so I could eat the little bit that stuck in it. It's hard to believe they...

For the next 3 weeks I'm working 6pm to 6am due to a project and last night I forgot to bring in my own food so I ordered a pizza. Is it better to eat something that's bad for you rather then nothing at all?

I don't know what I mean by turn to fat. All I know about diet and lifting I learned from here and I've been here for a week. Everything else I used to know was what tv told me on the subject :D

What kind of window do you have from the time you eat to the time it turns into fat? I was told you have a 45 minute window after lifting to get protein but what kind of times do you have before you lift? If you eat and then wait an hour or an hour and a half to do cardio or lifting, is that...

What are some nice lower back exercises? I'm really nervous about working on my back. I keep hearing from people that if you do it wrong you can hurt yourself and will never recover from it. When I do back day. (5 times so far, one time a week) I never really feel it like I feel other muscle...

I also noticed something and I'm not sure about it. It took me about 45 minutes to do all of that not including warm up and people say they would spend hours at the gym. I was burnt out after 45, should it take me longer? I would wait about 30 seconds between sets aside from the push ups.

Thanks a lot man! I can't wait to get off work so I can start day one.

Here's one, is whey protein idk, normal protein? Is it the same as chicken or steak?

The more questions I ask people, the more questions I end up with. When should I eat breakfast? I've been eating oatmeal and an orange about 20 minutes after I wake up (5:30am or so). I love tuna and I can just eat it out of the can and it's the in water kind. I have that around 9:30. Since I...

Sweet, I'll give that a go and see what happens. Thanks a lot.
