You know..I take mine in the morning after an hour of cardio, in the afternoon about 2 hours before my workout, and then again after the workout.

Between all that I eat. I take a MetRx and mix a scoop of isopure (gives me about 50+ grams of protein) along with a cup of OJ and 1.5 cups of water and one banana..makes for a good meal..

peace out!

I drink skim milk with whey protien through out the day as my beverage with meals.
Before bed I mix an Met-Rx with skim milk and flax seed oil, and sip off of it every time I get up to use the bathroom.
Post workout I drink 2 cups cranberry juice, with 50 grams whey.

I only have 1 protein shake a day. I drink it immediately after I get home from work. This happens to be about 45 minutes before I work out usually also.

2 Scoops of Whey MAXX, half cup (I think) of oats, tablespoon of all natural peanut butter, a banana, and skim milk.

Once a day, an hour or so after my morning workout (Whey, 44g) with my first cup of

I drink a Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added) about 30 minutes before my workout so I have some fuel since I workout an hour after I wake up. I make my protien concoction(sp?) afterwards consisting of some variety of skim milk, yogurt, peanut butter, egg, fruit, oats and who knows what else.

I typically have 4 protein shakes per day:

Wake-up: 22g egg protein blended with 8oz of soy milk
*Pre-Workout: 48g whey protein mixed with water
*Post-Workout: 48g whey protein mixed with water
Bedtime: 24g casein protein blended with soy milk
*Studies have shown that consuming protein immidiately before and immidiately after heavy workout session is crucial.

So that's 154 grams of protein that I'm getting from shakes each day (the soy milk has 6 grams of protein), and I'm probably getting another 150 or so from my diet, which includes things like fish, cottage cheese, and eggs (I don't eat meat). The bottom line is that protein is the only thing that can make your muscles grow, so don't come up short in that category, especially if you are a natty like me...

Yes, on off days, get the protein from foods (meat). Shakes pre and postworkout are key. If you get your muscles all pumped up and worn without that protein already in the system to be ready to repair and build, you won't get maximum benefit.

1 scoop of Isopure immediately when I wake up and 2 scoops at pre-workout, True Mass for post workout, and Casein before bed.
