How many of you make protein shakes with 2 scoops of protein or more?

[unsoberx]

Hello all, i would like to know how many scoops of whey-protein do you put in your protein shakes in your blender? I ask this because i have increased the amount of scoops i put in my shakes. I used to pour 1 1/2 scoops, now i make my night whey protein shakes, with 2 1/2 scoops of whey protein with milk, which is about 68 grams of protein

Oh ya at least 2 scoops @ 24G's of protein/scoop. Way too bland with water otherwise. Can get away with 1 with milk though.

[unsoberx]

Hi, thanx a lot !! I have another question. Is 2 scoops and a half of whey protein too much for a protein shake? I calculated the grams of protein if i make it with 2 1/2 scoops and that's about 68 grams of protein.

So is 68 grams of protein for 1 single protein shake too much? is it ok like this? or should i reduce it to just 2 scoops or less?

could be a bit much. i keep mine at 2 scoops.

I only use 2 in my PWO shake. if you are eating 6-7 meals a day you should aim for around 30 - 35g per meal (depends on wt., goals, etc.).

[TheKansan]

Yeah I use 2 scoops in my protein shakes. There isn't enough protein in one scoop for my needs.

[greenleaf]

I think 2 scoops are an overkill. Your body can only utilize so much protein at a time. The rest you just piss away.

Lol, yeah..no.

id rather have overkill than not enough. i usually mix 1 scoop casein with 1 scoop whey.

i usually mix 1 scoop casein with 1 scoop whey.

Same here, although i dont like the taste of my casein protein.

[CozaB]

I have 2 & 1/2 scoops of protien powder at 20g a tea spoon.

[Araj]

I only use 2 when its in water.
I use 1 if I'm using milk and/or peanut butter.

[neutral]

I use two in the morning, but only one PWO as I usually eat a meal shortly after.

[JesseStylex]

what i eat only comes out to about 25g of protein, so i make up for it with with 2 or so scoops.

[Swaggydoo]

i use two, reflex instant whey, 2 scoops works out at 40g

[the_RazorBlade]

i dnt use protein shakes!!!! Geeez....

haha... have 2 scoops hey. if i want more i usually have 1 1/2 scoops first then another 1 1/5 scoops an hour later. just to try and spread out the nutrient absorbtion. and it also helps with the hunger bug!!!!

[DarinK]

At night I use a scoop and half of casein. Post work out I use two scoops of whey.

[jcosley]

I always use 2 scoops in the morning with my oats......2 scoops whey w/ a big scoop of dextrose PWO. (50g protein each time)

[precisou2004]

I dont see the purpose of 2 scoops IMHO. If you get plenty of protein throughout the day in your food, I think 1 is plenty or even 1.5 at the very most

You are a woman...it would be totally different for you.

[unsoberx]

Hello, i agree with you. I think 2 or 3 scoops of whey protein is too much for 1 single shake or serving. Right now i am taking 2 1/2 scoops of whey protein in my shakes. What i will do is that i will decrease it to 1 1/2 (1 and a half scoop of whey protein) per shake.

I've noticed that when i make the shakes with 2 scoops of protein, my stomach feels so heavy, from all those grams of whey protein working in there

thanx anyways for your comment

[jcosley]

Guess it actually would depend how much you weigh.....your goals...how much protein you get in from your other meals....etc. I take 2 in the morning and after my lifts because it helps get to my daily needs of around 200 g protein a day which im aiming for.

[big bets]

2 scoops @ 24g. protein per scoop.

tastes better this way too.

[bivvo]

I use 2 scoops , But then again 1 serving size is 2 scoops.

[unsoberx]

Hello, yeah a protein shake with just 1 scoop of whey protein isn't too thick and smoothy, and doesn't satisfy you as much as a shake with 2 scoops.

However when we are losing weight, we have to control our calorie intake even if it means decreasing protein intake

if you like wasting money while you piss out 25g of protein, then yea, its just fine

[unsoberx]

Hello, i weigh 165 lbs. so i consider my daily intake to be around 145 grams. SO i guess im ok, i had to decrease my night protein shake from 2 1/2 scoops to 1 1/2 scoops of whey-protein to give way to increase more good carbs (apples and green veggies) coz i felt sluggish and tired


PROTEIN GRAMS PER DAY:

50 in the morning
50 at lunch
45 at dinner

If you had "extra" your body would actually store it (fat), not piss it out.

[catalysis]

I only take 1 1/2 scoops or less at a time because I only weigh 160lbs. You guys realize that extra protein gets stored as fat right? It's best to space out your protein consumption according to your needs, just like everything else.
