    I drink protein shakes but bought ones specificially for females - on Maxitone Sculptress weightloss protein shake atm. They are really good and I find help - just dont go drinking the high calorie ones for men or youll put on weight lol!

    High calorie ones for men? lol Believe it or not but some women want to up their calories too if they are trying to gain muscle. Men and women do not need different types of protein shakes. It's just a high protein drink at the end of the day, it's not gender specific.

    I always think it sounds weird when someone uses the phrase 'Taking a protein shake'. lol. Not sure why, it just conjures up images of people sneakily necking protein like they were doing drugs or something...:laugh:

    Haha hiding in the bathroom stall, downing a protein shake... people tell them they have something on their lip (leftover protein drink) and the person yells back and tells them theres nothing there.... Ya... Protein problems lol

    I can quit anytime I want !! ANYTIME I WANT !!

    Can too much protein be bad???

    Someday I go WAY over my protein intake.. and others I can't meet them. But I take a protein bar before my workout (30g) and a shake after (15g) during my long workouts, all of this is in the morning. So by the end of the day I sometimes go over..

    Suggestions --

    no suggestions needed. there's really no problem here. you aren't "way" over, nor are you close to being in a danger zone, if such a thing existed. carry on.

    I was over by around 100g today.. I don't mind when it's around 20 - 50g. That's why I was asking ... my total for today is 185 or so... and i'm still missing dinner :?
  • Ive been going to the gym for a while now, and i do crossfit occasionally, i've never taken any protein shakes before and i do want to gain a little more muscle, not grow them big but just to tone them a bit more.
    Can you recommend me a protein shake? Ive heard this one is good but I'm not sure...

    wait, so do you want to just lose fat.. or actually gain muscle. This "toning" thing is throwing me for a loop..

    ..and it's gonna take more than just a protein shake to gain muscle.
