In the empty space on the right of that, type in "protein shakes" and click the "Search fitBuddy" icon. It will bring up a page of different threads in which this topic has previously been discussed. Click on each of the titled links and read. After reading a few of them, you will understand how important protein is for your body while training.

You'll get all the help on here that you could possibly want but you have to put forth a little effort. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

I usually consume in morning after a workout because it has equal amounts of protein and carbs and that's it. If your looking to concume a bit more calories and you want to bulk up, then do one at lunch or towards evening, or whenever you work out. They are a perfect meal replacement, awesome for post workouts. Have you tried E-bay for shakes? They are cheap there. I use Ultramet and these are very good. :) ============ Quoting from zak786: Ok first of all I wnna know what protein shakes do for us? When to consume them?
