No, that one is really not recommended by my trainer. I do a Protein Shake about 1 1/2 prior to my work out and a small carb shot while driving to the gym. I eat within an hour post work out. I eat about 120 gms of Protein a day, on the days I worl out I try very hard to eat greater than 120 sometimes as high as 140-150gms of protein.

i do two shakes a day at 25 gms each, So half of my daily Protein intake does come from shakes. I did not start doing this until I started lifitng weights and working out with a trainer. I drink Pure Protein, it is low carbs, 140 cal and 35 gms of protein. I carry my shaker with me to work daily. I occassionaly eat Protein Bars but they are higher in calories and unless I am going to do some cardio also I do not eat them, they have more carbohydrates and sugars than the shakes. The rest of my protein goes like this, I eat oatmeal with egg whites for Breakfast (yes I cook the egg whites in my oatmeal, it is actually very good and makes the oats creamy, I add 2-3 egg whites, I can usually only hold 2, the third one makes me feel too full) I drink a shake mid morning and eat a banana. I eat 3-4 oz of lean protien for lunch with green veggie, Protein Shake and 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter in afternoon and than 3-4 oz of protein with veggie for dinner. I do occassional have a starch, sweet potato, quinia or whole wheat Pasta but it is only about 1/4 cup(again all I can hold) Prior to working out with my trainer my eating sucked. I was only eating about 60gms of protein aday and barely 1000 calories. i started eating this way 7 months ago, dropped my last 30 lbs and from a size 12 to a size 4, I have great biceps and triceps and chest muscles. Lower body is coming but a little slower to develop, I figure by next summer I should be where I want to be as far as muscles, weight wise i am where i plan to stay. The high end of my ideal body weight. Hope this helps.

It is very difficult to eat this much protein a day, I struggle daily to get there and do make sure I do on the days I lift weights and work out with trainer. I constantly think of protein on those days and make sure I get at least 80-90 gms before my work out time of 6pm. I have found that fish is much higher in protein, tuna and salmon and they are easily digested. (Hope you like fish) I also add liquid egg whites to my morning oatmeal and some days I also add to my Protein Shakes for an extra added 10gms of protein. I use the egg whites in a carton. I will say I feel mush better and have more energy since I started adding protein and I also look healthier.
