Protein?

Kristian4th · Nov 21, 2015

You need to be eating more as well as taking extra protein. Whey is the best protein to take, although you can get anabolic protein and BCAA's are a good method of getting a boost pre and post-workout. Eating more protein packed food e.g. chicken, fish, eggs, nuts and various seeds will help you get to your goal. Lift heavier, but with less reps to get mass.

I'm starting a regiment for dieting and working out. I'm not looking to crazy professional body building, but I'd love to gain at least 30lbs of mass as a result. I've started to take GNC Wheybolic Power, I want to know if it's healthy to take this suppliment with my level of activity.

Currently, my activity is 9 hours of work where I'm constantly walking and occasionally lifting 20+ lbs. I've started to work out at nights since starting on the protein, 3 times a week, mondays doing cardio, wednesday doing upper body, fridays doing legs. I'm drinking one scoop of protein with a blend of milk and fruit in the morning as breakfast before work, and then a scoop in water after my workout.

My question is, is this a healthy practice? I don't know what the level of activity is required to make the powder effective. I could google search, but I'd rather get feedback and suggestions from experienced people.

what are your meals normally like and how often are you eating? your body should be taking about 1g of protein / 1-2 lbs to keep it in an anabolic state. Also as your BMI changes so will the intake your body needs depending on what you are trying to do. Personally I do 3x shakes a day but it does get expensive and i use a blend of fast and slow acting proteins. Also I WOULD NOT COUNT A SHAKE AS A MEAL get that out of your head and eat something with it even if it's a banana or oatmeal
