Is 2 Protein shakes a day too much?
Hey everyone.
Right now I take one protein shake after every workout, usually in the morning/afternoon around 11am-12pm. Its a Whey Protein shake. My goal right now is to bulk up. So my question is.
Should I throw in another shake at night, one with a good mix of casein protein? Or should I just try and eat more animal proteins?
Does anyone else do 2 protein shakes a day? How do you like it? Any positive gains?

Supplements are meant to supplement. If you cannot get enough protein from your regular diet, or you are getting too much fat from your protein sources, then incorporate a protein supplement. No one can tell you a definite number of protein shakes you should be drinking, you need to evaluate your diet to determine your needs.

Take 1/1.5 g of protein per lb of bodyweight to support growth. Try and obtain this from whole 'food' protein sources like fish, eggs, chicken and beef etc. Then use shakes to top up the rest.
Ideally, plan it so they fall into their most effective parts of your day, like - similar to PreMier - one for breakfast when a fast-digesting whey will be beneficial after a night without carbs and protein, post workout and then again before bed (and you were right in your assumption - casein would be a better option here).

You are doing fine man. To get the optimal gains try to get protein every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Make sure that 3 to 5 of the protein you intake is from solid foods. Try to get at least 1-2 times your body weight in protein for the optimal gains. This routine worked wonders for me when I played football. I weighed 260 with 12% bodyfat lifting 430 on bench 700squat and 700deadlift all at the young age of 18 and this routine had a lot of contribution.
