Ive heard about Optimum Nutrition on just about every site I've checked out. Are their products expensive? Which flavors have you tried?

As I mentioned in my second post, I've lost 35lbs in about 4 months. Ive averaged around a little less than 4 lbs per week. Based upon what Ive read, thats a good indication that I am losing muscle mass. Plus my body fat percentage is high, as I also mentioned. I just want to know what good whey protein products are…

Yes, I know all of this. I have been doing it for over 3 months and have lost significant weight. I am attempting, again, to modify what I am doing to lose less muscle mass when I lose weight. So I need to get more protein and increase my strength training. I would like to do this by using whey. I'm not sure how else to…

My thought is that it will help build and maintain muscle. Right now, I fear that I am losing more muscle mass than I would like as opposed to losing fat. I am not getting enough protein as it is and I am going to increase my weight training. My question is about the whey itself. Which ones are the best ones?

I also already drink i protein shake with breakfast and one with dinner. I drink an atkins one in the morning, usually 15g of protein, and either a premier or muscle milk shake with dinner, 30 and 32g respectively

I weigh more than 130lbs. I'm ideally trying to eat about a gram of protein per pound of body weight. My body fat percentage is also fairly high, about 30%. Ive lost 35 pounds in about 4 months, but thats why I think Im losing muscle. Right now, I lift three days a week with steady state low intensity cardio and do 3 days…

That was a good read, thank you. It did say to eat protein asap preceding a workout when you most recent meal was more than 4 hours prior to the workout, which is the case for me since I work out after work. They said this was of importance if the goal is muscle growth or retention, which is the goal for me. I will…

But weight training depletes muscle glycogen. I feel like that has to be replaced, at least based on what I've read and General biology

Myfitnesspal just posted an article about post workout nutrition pretty much fueling my question. I want to make sure I'm repairing my muscles after working out. I'm really focused on sculpting my body and my body composition as a whole. The article was helpful

Ok, but after strength Training or after cardio? That's the question

Coffee! I used to drink a caramel swirl coffee daily, then I realized how many calories it was. I was pretty shocked

Its better to get your protein from food as opposed to powder if possible. Protein shakes have good amounts of protein. Premier makes shakes with 30g of protein per shake and muscle milk has 32g. I like the atkins ones the best, they have 15g. Also, greek yougurt for breakfast is a good source of protein. Oikos triple zero…

I net an average of 1205 calories a day weekly; my goal with MFP is 1210. I do strength training and low intensity steady state cardio 3 days a week, HIIT 3 days a week, and rest 1 day a week. And I have a cheat meal every other week. Ive lost about 25 pounds in about 6 weeks
