How many protein shakes per day?

[Xavier_Jones]

Bulking, just curious if 4 shakes was way over the top?

I have a tough time hitting 1.4g/perlb

40 grams per shake-

Thanks,

Xavier

depends.

So people subscribe to the eat per pound of LEAN body mass...not total. So that would cut down your total cals and protein, ect i'm sure.

On average I think 1 average sized/medium chicken breast = 50 grams protein . Easy to shovel them in.

IMHO whole foods are better. Use shakes only out of convience or nessesity is what I would say.... 2 max.

i have 2 a day....but if i was trying to bulk i'd prob add a whole bunch of stuff to the shakes ie. eggs, milk instead of water, fruit, flax oil, oats. so it's kind of like a meal and a shake

but like sarge said (the authority on whole foods lol) whole foods are better then shakes most of the time.

3 a day for me, i mix a large one (which counts as 2 of the 3) which i drink from start to finish of my workout.

I think the term "shake" is changing. I know people used to be big on the MRP's but now it seems that most mix up their own concoctions. I have 3 per day. All 3 have 1/2 cup oats, 40g's of whey, and a full banana so I think of them partially as whole food meals. While bulking I will add 2 egg whites and one full egg to them and make w/ milk - again, seems like a complete meal.

Now if I could just figure out how to make a tasty chicken shake I could really cut down on my chewing.

question...do you actually cook the egg and then throw it in the shake or you just crack em and shake em?
