When do you take your protein powder?

[A_Novice_ToS]

I take one after breakfast in the morning, one a little after lunch, and one after working out.

 

[StRoNg_WoN]

I take them like this:

1 - Breakfast (If I am a lazy ass in the morning, then I'll have my first shake... it''s 60 protein 100 carbs, and a teaspoon of flax...)

2 - Shake (If I wasn't lasy... ortherwise breakfast now)

3 - Lunch

Workout

4 - Post workout shake

5 - Dinner

6 - Before bed shake... just protein...

Daz it...

i won't pretend to be as knowledgable as anybody on this board, but my reasearch has shown that on a daily basis a person should take in up to 2g of protein per pound of lean body mass. And that it is best have a constant supply of protein flowing through your system as systhesis occurs at various intervals. Also, it seems that one should understand how their gear works in intervals so that supplement intakes can be taken concurrently. If this is true, it would seem logical that one would more concerned about carb intake pre-workout and protein / calorie intake post / workout. Am I completely off base with any of this... if so someone please let me know cause i need to know

I eat 6 meals per day, all protein based meals of course.

* When do you take your protein shakes, and how often during the day?

*Do you take it with meals or between meals?

*If you take it with meals, which meals do you take it with?

*If you take it with meals, what foods do you eat along with it?


This will be a big help for me bros because I just take it when ever I want.

The only time I take any supplements is post workout. I'm a whole food type of guy the rest of the day.

I take it when i wake up
Before bed.
DBL dose after workout.
And in meals where protien in low or absent.
And sometimes as meal sustitute.
