Hey well, I was wondering, if anyone here regularly takes protein shakes after their workout?

If so what brand,and what do you mix it with?

Anything you found amazing so far?

Here is what I do:


Milk and chocolate flavored protein = kinda chocolate milkish

What do you do?

I do, just got a generic brand from CVS though since i still dont know many
Chocolate tastes horrible, vanilla all the way

i take this regulary
so far so good

Okay lets try this again, without fucking trolls, I didn't ask you if you ate proteins, atleast you could have said eat a steak, or what ever (oh and please go ahead insert a umad.jpg because that will probably be the next thing you do) I asked people that do take it, if you think its stupid fine good for you but to be honest I couldn't give a crap, and by the way a steak at 2pm is REALLY smart -.-

Edit: only_me what do you mix it with?

I don't take it after every workout, but I will on days I didn't meet my protein macros and/or want a protein desert. (NO HOMO!) I mix mine with water and ice to save those milk calories for real food somewhere else. I'm in a 'cut' right now to lose a little bodyfat. When I'm not it's milk all the way!

Protein brownies: 1 Scoop + 1 tablespoon peanut butter + a little water + 15sec in the microwave. mmm

Protein (carb free basically) brownies: 2 scoops whey, 1 egg, tsp baking powder, water to batter consistency. Cook like normal pancakes.

*White flood for my preworkout/intra workout drink. I'm heading to the gym in an hour.

InB4 Broscience arguments.

Just swallow, plenty of protein.

GOOD FOR YOU!!

mostly with milk

when i mix it with 300ml of milk i get like 35g of proteins. this is how much i need as i m nearly 200 lbs

i only take protein powder when i know i need some proteins (i need like 200g per day) or after i finish my work out

It's cheap and doesn't taste too bad.

I used to take ON like EvGa has. Took it with water, tatse didnt really matter to me.

I just eat food now

I mix it with water. Can't mix it with milk becouse it would be horrible after standing 1+ hours in the locker room.

I quit taking protein drinks after a while of taking Excel, now I rather take natural protein eating mostly fish and frog meat.

I feel a lot better in the morning.

you guys work out afterwards? or just drink it cause its protein cause that shit is bad for you if you just drink it and lay around

lol we do work out..

it's a very stupid thing to take protein powder and just sit around (especially if it contains creatine/taurine/etc.)

just asking cause my friend got soo beefy looking he would drink like 3 shakes everyday and work out once a week lol

i go to gnc and buy a strawberry flavored powder and throw in milk and go to my local gym.

That kind of goes without saying. Too much of anything is bad for u and if you're not using it then you're getting too much...

OnT:


I take it with almond milk, water, and ice. Calories only matter up to a point. More important is what you're eating. So far i can only find it in chocolate and vanilla. Vanilla is ok but i know somewhere it comes in strawberry. I dream of that day...

I used to make 3-4 shakes a day in Norway, I packed on 12 kg in less than a year there. I ate until I couldn't eat no more at every meal, and then I ate some more, and I drank some more protein powder/creatine.
Everyone was really into working out at my school and I'd work out 5 times a week combined with a program of running, cycling, skiing, climbing, hiking and all other outdoor stuff.
Protein powder is pretty good, it really helped decrease the time my muscles felt sore after an intense workout. It really helped pack on the muscles too. I think 12kg is quite a lot for just a year so that's nice.

The only downside, which is so big I quit using it, is shitting 3 times a day. It may be because I was eating so Farking much I would have to take toilet clogging dumps to get it all out in 1 shit per day, but I blame the protein powder. I got pretty flatulent from it as well, stomach always making noises. I never felt comfortable sitting some place watching a movie because my stomach would go nuts. I think I just took too much protein powder tbh.
For now I'm ok with my results, and I'm done gaining weight so I don't really need/want to use protein powders as an aid for muscle building.

edit: I drank it with water most of the times. If I remembered I would steal some milk at the meals, but I forgot a lot. Imo chocolate tastes like shit after ~10 times. Strawberry always tastes good. My shake tasted so good I'd just make protein shakes if I was thirsty and wanted something nice to drink.

I assume you get it from walmart, like me? Our local walmart carries it, but if yours doesn't you can buy it from walmart online.

Flavors and amounts are listed down the right side. Go crazy!

I finished my workout (Chest/Triceps) and I am about to make the whey sludge / brownie I posted above. Pictures when I'm done.

I have been thinking of getting these. Does it have creatine mixed in though?

Edit: frigging double posts...need to get a new mouse

Nope, it does not contain any creatine. It's got a nice makeup: 130 calories, 24g protein, 4g carbs, 1.5g fat. Perfect for someone on a cut who needs to meet their protein intake, but keep cals as low as possible.

Just made my sludge/brownie:

Ingredients:

Mix it up:

Microwave ~15secs, throw on some splenda:


Edges firm up like a brownie and the inside stays runny. MMMMM.

i heard cum has loads of protein in it try to drink lots of it

I avoid drinking those, because they are not natural. I rather get my protein from milk/eggs/chicken. I might consume them when I'm going to cut.

+1

Actually i prefer to drink water or milk more than a protien shake .



Oh and EvGa that brownie you made doesn't look delicious at all .

actually it reminds me of poop .

Not natural... kind of like cheese? Because they are made from the same damn thing, milk.

Most people also consume water and milk along side their whey consumption... I personally drink tons of water every day. TONS.
