thanks
god cant i have one normal answer on here for once?
Im using Whey Protein Powder along with working out, and because im on the slim side, ( with a fast metabolism) would using Weight Gain Powder Along with meals help me?
i know about the food side, but will powders also help me along the way?
i dont think working out will put on weight. I do it to train my self. :)
Answer: Weight gainers are good but only as part of a heathly diet. You need to increase the amount of protein and carbs you eat. The shake is just a supplement. I already posted how to work out your needs and an example work out. I'll show you it again though. With this you cna hopefully gain 1-2 pounds of muscle a week but its hard to do all the eating i myself fail a lot of the time and that is why i dont gain as much i should or would like. Best time to take your shake is 15-60 minutes after your work out. After this there is no point. I usualy start drinking mine after 10 but thats just me. Holland& Barret usually have a good shake by body fortress. I'm waiting til there on sale again and i'm going to get a couple tubs
You need to eat at least 1.5g of protein per Lb of bodyweight to grow muscle.
1,Work out your overall daily intake need to build muscle.
BodyWeight in lbs x 18
2, Take of protein calories first
Protein need = Approx 1.5 g per pound of bodyweight
protein calories = Xg of protein times 4(protein has 4kCals pergram)
Take this from daily total.
3, Take off fat calories from total
fat need= 15% of total caloric intake
Number of fat grams/9 (fat has 9 cals per gram)
take fat calories from remaining daily total.
4, calculate carb grams needed from remainder.
Carb need= calories left/ 4 (carbs have 4 calories per gram)
5, calulate post training drink requirments.
Post excercise drink = 150g + 50g of protein
take this away from daily amounts
6, the remaining carb, protein and fats are dividied equally between the other meals. So divide by 5 (five meals a day)
so work out carbs per meal Xg/5
protein per meal=Xg/5
fat per meal=Xg/5
Plan your meals out.
Now for the workout

Question: Whey Protein/Weight Loss/Workouts? Does workout 5 days/week (3 days cardio + 3 days weight training) and drinking whey protein drinks 4x/day for 30 days can help you to loss 15 pounds or more?
Answer: you dont need that much whey. whey is more for after weight lifting when your body needs to absorb the protein, other than that you should be in-taking regular protein from food and casein protein
Question: whey protein,weight gainers, or NO? hi, i started to lift weights about 2 months ago and im a bit confused on what supplements to take to gain more muscle.I am 22yrs old, 6'1 and about 150lbs.i have a little fat on my stomach but not to worried about it,and not seeking abs.I want to get more muscle especially on my arms,shoulders and back,cause i do look big,but really my arms are kinda small.i do home workouts about 1 to 2 hours 4 times a week.i want to see results fast, what would be a good supplement, the weight gainers,whey protein, or Nitric Oxide.thanks for you help and please if you know any good brands of the following let me know.thank you
i forgot to add about my workout.for example for my biceps, i do 3-5 reps of 10 with a 40lbs dumbell,2-4 reps of 10 with a 80lbs barbell 1 times a week,then my endurance workout is, 6-10 reps of 20 with a 20lbs dumbell and a 40lbs barbell, with sit ups,back work outs and shoulders.i do squats and bench about 3 times a week, with the proper weights to lift correctly of course.and i do take my time doing this,ive read about how to lift weights and about injuries.ive noticed results in the 2 months of doing this without any supplements, i just heard supplements would make you notice and gain faster.i know it wont make me huge in a month.i just want to notice a bigger difference,thats all, thanks again
Answer: There are only two supplements that have verified scientific evidence to back up their claims of aiding in muscle gain: (1) creatine, and (2) whey protein. The best creatine is plain old creatine monohydrate powder with no sugar added. For whey protein, you want something low in fat and at least 20g of protein per scoop. Champion Nutrition makes good whey protein and pharmaceutical grade creatine monohydrate powder with no additives. Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard is highly recommended by bodybuilders -- and yes, I got that straight from a couple of my colleagues who are competitive bodybuilders. Avoid GNC and Vitamin World -- their stuff is pricey and not the best quality.
A couple of things you should know: (1) You don't have to "load" creatine. Just take it on a regular basis per the instructions on the label. (2) Whey protein is best used for pre-and-post workout nutrition. You need at least 150g of protein per day, but you should get the majority of your protein from "real" food. WARNING: Increasing your protein intake will make your kidneys work harder, but there's an easy fix for that: Drink more water.
Question: How much does whey protein affect weight lifting? I have been lifting weights for a while and my bench press has plateaued at around 250 lbs. I would like to know how much whey protein can affect the amount you can lift.
Answer: Whey protein is a high performance functional food that can definitely aid in recovery and improve your immune function. And if a muscle is stimulated properly, whey can help repair and build new muscle tissue. It can definitely help give you that competitive advantage.
Make sure you use a pure whey protein with No artificial Sweeteners, No artificial Flavors, No artificial Fillers etc.

Question: whey protein? weight loss/gain? so basically, along with the rest of the world, i have been trying to lose weight. I have changed my diet and have been working out almost everyday for about 45 + min (mostly cardio. prob 35-45 min and moderate-light lifting for 10 min and on somedays i only do cardio) ....i have heard that since im mainly doing cardio there is a good chance im losing muscle instead of fat. i would like to min. muscle loss and maximize the amount of fat i burn.
so my question is...is that should i take a serving of a low calorie whey powder to do this?..or should i continue like i am?
if so, when do you suggest i take it? before a workout? After?
Thanks :)
p.s. i am an 18 year old female looking to lose maybe 20 more pounds.
when i say i would like to lose 20 pounds...i could stand to lose more haha :)
Answer: The best way to prevent muscle loss, which is what is happening, is to lift weights more than what you are. Muscle provides more energy for the body and takes less energy to convert. That is why when you are starving you lose your muscle before your body uses the fat stores. The amount of cardio is fine if that is what you like to do; may I suggest doing a 10 min warm up run and then you lift weights for 30 and then go do cardio for 30 or how ever long you want. Doing cardio at the end of a work out will burn more since your body is already tired.
When lifting weights, you should focus on doing a lot of reps -15/25- for 3 sets and low weight. This will help keep the muscle strength and keep them hard while also defining you. You can drink a protein shake and it is recommended to in order to keep from losing the fat. Stay away from muscle milk. It has a lot of sugar and a lot of calories which is something you wanted to stay away from. The best time to drink it is after your work out. You can also drink some with your morning breakfast. I would not recommend drinking it within an hour of your work out, however.
Question: Should i drink skimmed milk with whey protein for weight loss? At the gym i do 40 Min's of cardio 3 days a week and the whey protein helps me recover alot faster. Until now i have been drinking it with semi skimmed milk and was wondering does skimmed milk work better. Tried it with water and its not for me. Also have been drinking it 3 times a day instead of eating junk.
Answer: yes i would reccomend semi skimmed milk because theres less fat and youre cardio is fine just will take time
Question: When should i drink whey protein for weight loss? Hey there. I'm lookin to shed a few pounds but I'm worried that if I drink my whey shake after i work out that i'll get big and bulky. Any insight would be helpful.
thanks
Answer: You will not get big and bulky, but you will gain some muscle. I would not recommend Whey for weight loss.
Question: best times for taking whey protein and weight gainers? I was curious when are the optimal times for taking whey protein and i know for weight gainers right after working out is best time
Answer: FYI I use whey protein in the morning with my oatmeal, and right after my workout in a smoothie, sometimes with a little creatine. The goal is not to ingest too many calories, so I use the whey protein because I can get a lot of protein without all the extra calories that usually come with protein.
Make sure you use a pure whey protein with No artificial Sweeteners, No artificial Flavors, No artificial Fillers etc.

Question: Muscle Milk or Whey Protein for weight gain? Hey, im a skinny guy, about 6" and about 145 pounds, its pretty hard for me to gain weight because of my high metabolism, i was wondering what is better for attempting to add weight and muscle and not lose any weight, Muscle Milk or Whey protein?
Answer: Protein, and lots of those work out shakes that you mix yourself, comes in powder. Drink about 3 a day.
Question: Does whey protein speed weight loss- even though I don't lift weights as often as I do cardio? I'd like to lose 10 lbs or more in the next 3 wks- my diet is good, I just need a little push to get there. I am working out 2 hrs a day, five days a week, with about an hour of cardio and half an hour weights and other exercises (warm-up/stretching for the rest). It won't bulk me up will it?
Answer: I wouldn't worry, you need to be doing some serious weights for longer periods to really bulk up. Keep with the Whey protein as it is an awesome way to get the protein you need.
We need muscle in order to burn fat .Muscle is a very active tissue, so burns fat even while resting. You need to have a certain amount of muscle in order to burn fat efficiently. Every pound of muscle you have will burn 50 extra calories per day.
It sounds like you are only toning your muscles, not bulking them up so you will be sweet.

Question: Which is better for bulking up? whey protein or weight gainers? Which is better for bulking up? whey protein or weight gainers?
Answer: Whey protein is for building muscle and muscle recovery.
Weight gainers are mostly full of fats and sugars. You need to be very careful with these as they can get you more fat than bulk. Alternatively you can just start eating more calories each day (500-1000).
Question: whey protein and weight lose/ muscle building?

Answer: As long as you're taking in less calories than you burn, you're fine.
