    protein powder for 2 replacement meals?

    is it really nessary to eat 5 meals a day because i usually get up at 9 am and sleep at 11 because its the summer

    i dunno how im should fit in those 5 meals.

    anyone have suggestions?

    secondly, is it wise to have 100% Optinum nutrion whey protein powder as 2 of the small replacement meals? (like a light morning and afternoon snack)

    thanks

    You should eat every three hrs....optimum whey in between your meals would be a good choice...just make sure you add something like flax or cream w/ it so your protein is not used for energy....smaller, more frequent, and balanced meals (as opposed to 3 large meals a day) will take you further in bodybuilding and gaining muscle/losing fat.

    I would throw in a banana or something with the whey shakes for carbs so like w8lifter said the protein wouldnt be used for energy.

    you would do much better using a blended protein like Optimum ProComplex in place of whey protein. the different proteins all modulate at different rates providing a longer more sustained release of amino's into the blood stream. much better for muscle building...

    I aint LAM but i will tell you that protein is way better then nirtotech. Nirtotech is crap it is a overpriced, bad tasteing, unmixable, piece of crap. Nirto is a straight whey protien for a cheaper whey go for Optimum 100% whey that is for pre and post workout. Any other time look for a blended protein like ProComplex . I am sorry if i offened any muscle tech users. I had to say what was on my mind.

    I've never used any MuscleTech products so I can't compair the tastes. the chocolate ProComplex is totally bearable(mixes with a shaker cup) but the vanilla is super nasty and I've never tried the strawberry as that looks risky as well...
