alright, well 3 days a week (M,W,F) I have PT (physical training) for the ARMY ROTC, where we essentially do different upper and lower body workouts, and then run. i plan to get into the habit of at least twice a week going to the school's main recreation center to do different combos of more upper and lower body weight training and probably run on the treadmill.

now.. question being, I need to get into getting protein into my body.
today I figure I am gonna have a steak at this place, because we have a PT test tomorrow, and that coupled with an instant breakfast drink tonight before bed, wearing heat wraps on my lower calves/shin area, and then drinking another instant breakfast drink tomorrow morning. That is all to hopefully one give my body the extra strength, but mostly to help my legs because they are starting to hurt. just got new running shoe gel inserts.. it's almost like I am getting shin splints, but not sure why... I got brand new running shoes (now broken in after a few weeks of PT), so it can't be them.
either way, my legs should hopefully be good tomorrow (wore heat wraps overnight last night too).

but, the proper portion of Instant Breakfast has only 5g of protein, and then the extra protein that the milk will have, which every 8oz of 1% has about 9g, so I am getting at least 14g in one instant breakfast drink, but thats really nothing.

i am looking into getting whey protein, plus I have protein bars that I plan to eat before working out when I start going to work out.

before PT I don't eat, I'll eat afterwards, but the instant breakfast doesn't cause a problem (its been in my stomach for around 30-45 minutes before we start workin out at PT).
so if I get into protein shakes, it would be drinking one before PT (or just generally in the morning on days I dont have PT), one before bed, and maybe one in the middle of the day.
I don't think it'd be a good idea to get into this until I actually start workin out reguarily.
is it fine to consume the same amount everyday, regardless if I end up not doing any kind of workout that day?
We have some.. like.. 8lb freeweights in our dorm, so that could constitute some workin out.

but what kind of protein diet would work for me? banana smoothies? not a big banana fan but oh well, and generally a REALLY picky eater.
 
You should consume the same amount each day, because on the days you are not working out your body is rebuilding the muscle fibers, and that's where the protein comes in. I bought some whey protein since I started working out again, but I hate the taste of it, so I'm eating beef jerky, peanuts, cottage cheese, PB&Js, etc. I am also taking a creatine supplement, which has really helped, and it has a fruit punch taste :thumbsup:
 
Not to thread hijack, but I have a question on this. I've started running recently and working out a bit too. But I have only been doing so 3 times a week(not really time for more). Should I even bother taking whey shakes? I have been taking them on the days I work out and run only.

For reference i'm trying to tone up and maybe lose some weight (6'1 175 pounds, not much muscle).
 
if you want to gain muscle mass you should take protien!!...now there anre many diff brands of protien iv trien nitrotec,isopure,and muscle milk 3 of the major brands...the one that has given me and many of my fellow gym friends the most results has been muscle milk...so i would highly recomend trying that one.

to riverhound: in those 3 times week if you r taking any protien you need to make sure that you r working out all the muscles in the body..to replace your fat with muscle you need to do extensive wieght traning...cardio will help in this process but wieght traning is essential.

now if you work out properly and take protien shakes you should see 10lb muscle gain in maybe a month and a half....

now again to riverhound: i wouldn't recomend for you to take whey protien if you r tring to tone up or loose wieght..i would recomend isopure it has less fa/calories and has a great effect..i usually when i work out take up to 50 to 60 g of protien a day but i havent been to the gym in a couple of months so..

10 lbs of muscle gaine in 6 weeks? Yeah if you are also taking steroids.:roll:
 
no actually if you work out everyday and take about 50-60g of protien a day you will get thos results in about 2 months...steroids would give you that in a couple of days...another thing people take is creatine which i think is retarded

I don't really care if I lose weight, I just want to look better and feel better. If I lose weight, fine. if I gain weight in muscle, that is fine too.

I have been working out and then running after. I'm not sure on the brand i'm using but it has 60 calories(15fat) and 18g of protein per serving if I remember. I usually am hungry when I get off work so instead of snacking, I have a shake while I work out. I then eat some chicken or something for dinner. Should I have another shake when I get back from my run? At 60 calories, I don't think it will hurt much, but will eating too much protein when I only work out 2-3 times a week make me fatter?

I tend to drink on the weekends and slack on my diet, so it probably wouldn't do much good to have protein shakes then would it?

Yeah 50cent, you should probably stop posting right about now. 10 LBS OF MUSCLE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. uh-huh. Unless you eat small children for your meals, you're not gaining 10 lbs of anything in 2 days.
 
alright lets not crap the thread with that extra protein goo, cuz i don't want none of it 😉

but seriously.. here in Columbus, I'm not sure of any specific places for health products, but at target once I saw a giant thing of whey protein..
about whey, can I put some of it in a milkshake? I figured I'd get ice cream and make shakes, and also make smoothies with banana, but wanted to know if I could powder in either of those.. I thought you could, but not sure what kind of powder I am looking for specifically then.

Hard and fast rule...1.5 to 2 grams of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. Yes, consume the same amount of protein each day. You can't OD on protein as long as you re drinking enough water.

hit the forums on bodybuilding.com and check out their stickies...all this kinda stuff is answered. also check out davedraper.com, great site. Lots of info and lots of motivation.

MM Isopure and Nitrotech are far from the best products the OP wants to use.
