Is this Safe?

[irish_pride]

I just bought a new whey shake ive never had before its "massive whey" it says on the side ,"use this product as a food supplement only" and it says to take 1-2 a day.

I used to take up to 6 shakes a day with my other powders. Is it safe to defy the label and take maybe 3 or 4 shakes a day or might i get side-affects from taking too much. it has glutamine in it could this be a reason for not taking so much?

Go to the ER right now !

No, of course it is not dangerous ]
But real food is better
supplements shopuld only be supplements to a regular diet

So why would the company only recommend 1-2 scoops a day when other companys (Designer protein) recommend up to 6?

"Recommend" does mean anything
and recommend for who ? a 100pounds skinny teen girl or a 250pounds BBer ?

and a scoop may differ from one company to the other

6 shakes a day!? That really sounds like a lot. Are you eating a lot of real food as well (and maybe just on a very high calorie diet)? The bulk of your protein should come from natural foods. As long as that's the case, I'd assume that's fine.

 

[irish_pride]

yeah i eat 150g of real protein a day plus 2-3 21g shakes.

150g is real low! should be 1-1.5 per lb of body weight, some use 2g per lb.

my suggestion....up the protein intake to 1000 grams a day, 2000 g carbs a day, and 500 grams fat a day you might gain some weight then

 

[anthrax]

The pounds weight system did come from Europe, and if I'm not mistaken, stones are part of that system, alond with hundredweights and tons.
But yea, we should all convert to the metric system already.

 

[anthrax]

It would be some more convenient if we talk the same language when we discuss about measures

Do you remember what happen with the NASA ?

NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter was lost in space... because engineers failed to make a simple conversion from English units to metric, an embarrassing lapse that sent the $125 million craft fatally close to the Martian surface...
