[Diesel0022]

What are your goals

[DJAMiller]

Yes I recommend you eat food, otherwise you will surely die of starvation.

[Kill3rr]

i ment to say is it OKAY if i eat food with a supplement

[Diesel0022]

Why wouldnt it be

[Kill3rr]

ive just heard diffrent things from people saying it would be better to drink them without eating any food with it

[SpankMasterFlex]

here is your real advice.

#1 stop buying stuff at G N C
#2 4 protein shakes a day? 1 or 2 is plenty. first thing when you wake up, and immediately after workout. Real food is better
#3 go to sams/costoco and buy a basic multivitamin.
#4 spend more time reading in the nutrition section.

Sometimes its not possible for people to reach their daily macros with food alone, thats where shakes come in. Its not really up to anyone else whether he should have 2, 4 or 6 shakes a day.

Not even going to waste my time with you.

[Diesel0022]

Not to mention he didnt even state if he's using 1/2, 1, 2 scoops per shake. So your at an extreme fault with your last post.

Why are you taking Wheybolic Extreme twice per day?

[Kill3rr]

Why are you taking Wheybolic Extreme twice per day?

before and after my workouts. 1 scoop for each time i take it, it even says on the label to take it before and after workout for best results

[Kill3rr]

There's nothing wrong with getting 100% of your daily protein goal from shakes as long as you are obtaining the necessary micronutrients in some other way.

You honestly think one can grow the same getting 200-300 grams of protein from protein shakes and never consuming a single piece of meat?

Good luck with that. let me know how you do.

I personally would take Wheybolic post workout only. I would take a BCAA drink like Xtend intra. Pre workout I would have Xtend. Protein shake is not something I want to consume pre workout. Just don't like the feel. Plus Wheybolic is best suited post workout. Save the Wheybolic post and take Xtend pre & intra. It may provide better nutrient timing this way. It will cover your for sure re: Anabolic Window/Workout Time Frame.

[imapolarbear]

your 16 your body cant handle having 4 shakes onto of the protein you get from food
i learned this the hard way my liver enzymes sky rocketed up.
just do 1 shake a day

Firts off he is over 16yrs old. It says 18yrs old. BTW - your liver enzymes may have sky rocketed from something else. I wouldn't blame shakes and I wouldn't be supplementing at your age.

i am really 16. i just thought they wouldnt let anybody under the age of 18 so i put 18

[LouB2010]

The title has a greater sign i.e. > in it. Plus your AVI. Well you can exclude everything i said b/c i don't give advice to anyone under 18 when it comes to supplementation. I smell a setup here.

Listen OP. Food is first. Get that straight before you even try to open your supplement containers.

2nd of all. It doesn't matter how many scoops of Whey protein you take. Or what kind. Whey is whey. And if you can afford the more expensive kinds and you like them, than go ahead. I recommend bb.com to order from.

Creatine - 5g daily
Protein - As much as you want BUT make sure your not replacing meals. You should be eating as much as possible. I can see a shake post workout doing you good. But thats about it. Maybe right when you wake up in the morning. Food is the most important thing though.

Also, get on a good lifting program that has shown to produce results. 5x5 looks good.

Get good sleep, make sure you have good meals, be patient, persistent and the gains will come. It might take longer than you think but it will be worth it in the end.

Would love to hear your theory on what secret ingredients your whole foods (meats) have that make it so much better for growth. Maybe the batter you cook it in? The marinade you use to flavor it? It surely is not the amino profile.

You should study up on some nutrition.

Despite what people say....Whey protein is FOOD. WHEY comes from cows. They just isolate it and take away a lot of the fat and carbs. With that in mind, whey with an apple and an egg is a meal....but whole foods are much better. Whole foods fill you up more, take more time to digest, and keep your system running. As for other supplements, yes they work great with food. The only kind of thing you should be iffy about is a pre-workout. You want to take your pre-workout on somewhat of an empty stomach because you want those stimulants (or whatever ingredients they have) to go straight to your body and to be used. Digestion burns energy, and you want to minimize that energy around workout time, so I don't eat an hour before my workout, I take my pre-workouts 30 minutes before, and then hit the weights, end with a post workout meal.

YES-eat food...it's good for you. Don't just rely on supplements. They're called "supplements" for a reason. They're just convenient and effective for certain scenarios. If I'm off to the beach with friends and don't want to destroy my macro ratio, I might drink 3 protein shakes to counteract the fat from the hot dogs and burgers while keeping protein up for example. But food comes first. On days I don't work out, I don't take whey honestly.

thansk for everything guys, most of this is helping me out a bit
