Protein Powders

[Lebiya]

For those taking protein powders for growth, when do you take it?

I'll be starting the 120g daily routine, but Im not sure when to take it, and when it the most effective time. I want to take it 2 a day..each consisting of 60 grams.

If you take it on an empty stomach, it will just go to the vital areas first, and not the hair/nails.. so I guess its best to take it after meals?

Hi Lebiya

I am no expert on protein shakes but I just wanted to tell you to watch the amount.

If you end up taking excess calories ie your protein shakes + protein at meals + carbs, you may end up having too much and actually put on weight. So just be careful.

I am taking a protein shake but I take it as a meal replacement instead of one of my regular meals.

eg my recommended protein intake for my body size and level of activity is 97gms
