I don't really no much , so what time is best on non-training day's and of course training day's

Ellis

important times first thing upon waking in the mornings, last thing at night and obviously after training.

Ollie B

what ellis said. You should have protein in every meal though depending on your goals.

Completely right to my knowledge. First thing in the morning the body needs the protein having had nothing for 8 or so hours..Last thing at night is always good if possible and every few hours in the day..Also the speed of protein digestion (whey, casein etc.) should be taken into account

I want to stay lean tho , im only 12.5 stone and can see most my viens etc lol so i dont wana get love handles ! Was using my pals brand of protien and got handles so really carefull about how much i consume now days ! how much should i be taking in being 12.5 stone ?

Pscarb

you get fat handles if you consume to many calories and don't burn enough plain and simple it has nothing to do with protein brand if you gain bad weight from taking a protein shake then you are either a coach potato or you are eating to many calories from Fat and carbs....

the above is true dan. The brand of protein is immaterial. Love handles appear as a result of too much in the way of calories going in and not enough being expended!

Was you mate using protein shakes or weight gainers?

Eitherway, post up what you diet is like as that is more important than the amount of shakes you have.

You got love handles because you carried on eating as before but added the protein shakes, in milk too possibly? This would have added 600+ extra cals inot your diet per day, which unless you burnt it of, would sit there as fat.

The only way it could be "protein" is the carb and fat content within the protein.

Yeah , thats what i was thinking to ? So taking some late a night could be a bad thing then ? If its high in carb ?

COLINSRI

Get low calorie whey, not high calories weight gainer type whey.

No pure whey is high carb, you are thinking of weight gainers or possibly MRP's.

All protein powders have some carbs, but they are never enough to be labled high.

But yes, lots of carbs, especially simple ones last thing at night will not help a fat loss goal.

cool . ill take my protien in mornings and afternoons in this case then .

Pscarb

so what percentage of bodyfat are you??

what is your diet seeing as Protein is thermogenic on the body i do not think you can blame the fat on your sides down to just a protein drink...

if you feel that it is down to this you MUST know exactly everything else you eat as in weights and measures this is the only way to pin point one specific food group...

so put up your diet....

you will find that if you are as lean as you say then the only way to get that last bit of fat is to follow a pre-contest diet to some degree....unfortunatly you cannot spot reduce one area so if you lower your cals to much or drop your protein to much then you will loae muscle as well as fat...
