When to drink high calorie protein shake?

what you gotta do is split up ur protein intake so you get approximately 30-60 grams depending on ur body weight every 2-4 hours basicaly 6 meals a day with solid protein... thats how u maximize nutrient intake... ur body cannot process 80 grams of protein at one time for example you will just pee out the extra nutrients and gain fat in the mean time... split up ur intake so youre muscles are constantly fed.. make sure u get carbs in those meals too... eat veggies as well

High Calorie Protein Shakes

Technically you can, but its really not a good thing to do. Protein shakes are 'Supplements'. This means that they should supplement a diet, not replace it. Body builders and weight trainers use protein shakes to get extra protein throughout the day when they're short on time, or just to boost the amount they've had alongside solid foods. Protein shakes by themselves don't have the full range of nutrients you get from a healthy diet, and a lot of shelf bought protein mixes are loaded with sugars which will have the opposite effect of what you do (they're made like this to boost insulin levels immediately after a heavy workout - not intended for snacking on). As for high calorie shake? They're not called weight gainers for no reason! You definitely don't want one of these if you're trying to lose weight! They are calorie dense to help you pack on size, not lose it. Your best bet is to do some regular exercise and eat 3-6 healthy meals a day. By September you should be able to drop about 10lbs if you're strict with HEALTHY food choices and exercise.

The best time to take any high caloric food or shake is after the work out. However, if you have trouble drinking it at once, drink half the recommendation before you start working out and the another half after your work out. This way you will take the recommended intake, which in turn, will help you in gaining muscle mass.

I would drink bits at different times throughout the day. Morning before or with breakfast is always nice because it helps your metabolism get started quick. Definitely after you work out still because the protein will go right to tired muscles. I wouldn't recommend before sleep because it won't do much for you there, most likely, it will go to waste. I would go morning, afternoon a little after lunch, and after a workout.

I really thought i knew everything about building muscle and gaining weight, I read every muscle magazine, and followed every stupid strength training phase that they invented. I have always been athletic, but I could never really pack on serious size until I stumbled across into Jason Ferruggia's Muscle Gaining Secrets.

I'd recommend taking it within 1 hour after exercising, when your body is primed to absorb nutrients and maybe also at dinner, so that it is in your system and your body has material for rebuilding itself during sleep...

I'd suggest you take just after you finish your workout.
