WHat best to take Protein With?

**Adam W** · 12-11-2002, 01:23 PM

I have done a search and couldnt find much info.

What fluid is protein best taken with - water, milk, juice?

Also how much do you reccommend taking? - bodyweight 150lbs

All help will be much appreciated,

ADAM

Water or milk. Try to get 150 grams per day minimum.

**Icex999** · 12-11-2002, 02:48 PM

I hope you don't misread that first reply, when I said 150 grams minimum, I meant overall protein intake. So consume as much protein as you can from whole foods, and make up for the rest with the protein shake. Adjust accordingly.

I always mix my whey with milk for extra protein.....carbs...cals + it tastes better. You could also add oats...honey...fruit..natural peanut butter...flax oil...ect..

If you're talking about whey, it depends on when you take it.

I usually mix whey with water for a pre- and post- workout drink since milk will slow down the absorption of the protein, and you need to replenish your body with protein as quickly as possible right after a workout. Also, it's supposed to be a good idea to take whey with water right when you wake up in the morning since your body has been deprived of nutrients during sleep.

I will mix my whey with milk before I go to bed because you want to slow down the absorption of whey. Don't have the money to buy casein.

You're supposed to take take in daily at least 1 gram of protein for every lb you weigh. If you are talking about whey, then it depends on how much protein you're getting from your whole food sources which is where you should get a majority of your protein from.

most times your ganna want to take it with milk the fat slows down digestion, but post workout i down it with juice, whey in water is nasty

Im decided to get 40g of protein from shake/powder form. On the container it say s1 scoop, 32g, contains approx 20g of protein. Therefore should i take 2 - 32g scoops giving me approx 40g total protein?

Thanks for the previous info.

40g protein at once wont be absorted and be carried as fat.

Studies?

**Seahawk** · 12-13-2002, 09:40 AM

yeah i have a friend who learns in Vingeit (sports technion center) and he's about to finish his studies for becoming a trainer and thats what he said...

we talked about protein powders (nlarge2) and he said that 52g protein for me to take at once wont be as efficient, most of it will be absorted but some will be carried as fat...so he suggested about 30g-35g (actually now that i think of it maybe for 40g im actually wrong but i'm not sure)

**Adam W** · 12-13-2002, 09:55 AM

After your dvice and serching the web im going to take my protein powder (Prolab 100% Pure WHey) with water. I will take 1.5 scoops which in total is about 45g containing approx 30g of protein.

Cheers guys,

ADAM

And can you please ask your friend how exactly protein will turn into fat?

Also ask him what makes a person fat because if he seems to know protein will turn into fat, then he has solved one of lifes mysteries.

Don't ever listen to anyone who says that "your body can only absorb this much protein" NOBODY KNOWS FOR A FACT HOW MUCH PROTEIN YOUR BODY CAN ASSIMILATE! There are too many factors to take into consideration and ever person is different.

Excess protein calories ingested will,

- either be used as building-blocks of lbm tissue (muscles, skin, hair etc.)
- either be used as an energy source after being converted to glucose
- or be stored as fat in adipose tissue

Hey hey dont shoot me I just said what i've been told!

No one is shooting you, Seahawk. Don't take it personally. As bodybuilders, we all consume upwards of 80g per sitting, and believe me, this doesn't automatically add fat. 100g protein per sitting when you're on a pre-contest diet doesn't amount to fat gain....

I don't think this is true at all. Take in 4000 calories of protein and fat everyday for a week. By weeks end you probably will have lost weight (and not just water weight).

Eating excess protein won't make you fat, eating excess carbs with protein, or eating carbs with fat will.

Without the presence of carbs, you will not get fat.

The calories in-calories out= weight loss or gain, Does not take into consideration so many things.

the average human can only absorb like 35 grams of proetein in one sitting. would being on a ph make me able to absorb more?

Yes, ph will make your stomach bigger because its a muscle. When you eat you excersize it therefore your stomach is on ph and it gets bigger.

The bigger it is, the more protein it'll absorb at one sitting. So after taking a cycle of ph you should be able to absorb around 38 grams per sitting.

2 x 32=64. As he stated 32 grams is the serving size. For every 32 grams there is 20 grams of protein. So 2 scoops of 32g is what he needs to get 40 grams of protein.

BTW, take protein with beer. It gives you a good spike.
