    And I thought I'd hijacked the thread.

    I love protein shakes and usually make my own at home. It's a great supplement to the actual foods that I already eat.

    I think shakes are a great way to start or end your day but watch the SUGAR! I like Atkins the best or EAS, almost no sugar :)

    It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. If you're having trouble meeting your protein goal for the day with food alone, then have a shake if you want to. Otherwise, it's not necessary.

    ^ This. I'd also say be cautious when listening to nutrition advice from personal trainers.

    And also be cautious when listening to Nutritionists. I had one recommend Pure Protein bars to a friend of mine. Those are total garbage so i told her she needs to hire a new nutritionist!

    You can prepare your own whey protein shake. You do not have to buy the "processed shakes"

    Just find a good whey protein powder. I use whey protein isolate.

    You can add any fruit you want and any liquid for the fluid part of the recipe (water, milk, etc)

    I drink mine 45 minutes prior to my workout and then immediately after.

    Good luck

    its best if you understand what is in the shake you are going to drink.

    My man and I both use the same type of protein powder at home; we portion it out differently based on our daily protein/caloric needs. Your protein intake should be sufficient to the type of work you are doing.

    Best advice around nutrition should come from a nutritionist, some CPTs don't have a great background in nutrition and though some know what they are talking about, not all have a thorough understanding. Ask your CPT about what type of training they have had...

    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.
