[DJLegacy2k1]

Switch it to about 55% protein and 40% fat or so.

YES you need shakes, you only really need them POST WORKOUT. At least 60g protein from WHEY ISOLATE, right after taking in some WAZY MAIZE. This is SUPER FAST ABSORBING into the muscles so they get the protein they need to grow RIGHT after your workout.

8 always has the answers quicker than I do....DAMN IT!

Should I do about a 1:1 on whey isolate and WMS? Whey isolate gives me all my BCAAs, right?

[DJLegacy2k1]

Yes BCAAs.

Its 2 scoops of WM which is about 70g carbs and as long as you are taking in more than 50g protein I think youre fine. Drink the WM mixed with some crystal light RIGHT after your workout, wait about 10mins then have your shake!

Compromise is a beautiful thing. But even more beautiful, is knowing what happens if I don't take carbs post workout Is it that the aminos won't all go into my muscles? What happens to those buggers then?

The carbs open up the pathways and shuttle the protein directly into the muscles. It make ssure that you MAXIMIZE your protein intake. What is the point of eating all of the protein if you arent using it all to repair and build more muscle? If you dont have the carbs, the protein is digested slower and you arent getting it all into the muscles. Thats the BASIC breakdown.

And in the most basic sense, if you eat too much protein, what happens to it? Doesn't it get turned into fat?

[DJLegacy2k1]

No...You use the "bathroom" a little bit more :-D

Too much protein converts to glucose, which can convert to fat, but 30 % of energy is lost in process
