Thread: powder protein mix with meal?

It can be good or bad, depending on how your diet is planned out.

As long as the whey fits into your calorie requirements, you should be fine. Just make sure the meal is balanced and includes some healthy fats and complex carbs as well.

It is fine - if you need the protein and the calories... But if you are eating enough chicken to cover your needs then all it will do is waste the whey (it will just be converted/used for glucose formation in your body).

Depends on your weight.

Simply multiply your body weight by 1.25 and that is the amount of protein you want each day. Then divide this by how many meals you have in a day (eg: 5 or 6) and that is how much protein you need in a meal.

Generally 85g (3 oz) of cooked chicken breast (which is one small breast) has ~25g protein. 100g (3.5 oz) has ~28-30g of protein. So if you had a medium breast (say 100g) + 1 scoop whey (~25g) then that is ~53 to 55g of protein... And you might find that this is probably in excess of what you need.

hi

I was just wondering if it is okay to mix creatine in with your whey protein shake after a workout ?

thanks

Don't listen to most of the junk you read in terms of what the 'professionals' do.

1. They are paid to say that
2. They are genetically unique
3. They are usually juiced to the eyeballs
4. They are paid to say that!!!

You don't need astronomical amounts of protein to get 'big muscles' - the protein supplement companies WANT you to think this so you eat copious amounts of protein so they get copious amounts of money.

You need to eat a sensible amount of protein in combination with a good, balanced diet and you need to train effectively... Then you just have to hope that you have better than average genetics...

Then, maybe, you'll get 'big muscles'.

Ema, i´m agree with you.

for long time i have been tryng to understand that position
thanks
