Whey protein shakes are suppose to replace a meal, I want to eat dinner and drink a whey protein shake. Will that make me fat or ruin the effect of the whey protein since food is going down the stomach with the shake?Should I drink whey before or after a workout? I drink one scoop before and after my workout. Should I just use two scoops after a workout with dinner?(I read drinking after a workout is best)
Anthony - Whey protein shakes are not supposed to replace meals, they are supposed to help increase the amount of protein you can consume, saving you money as they are cheaper than regular meat sources and also don't fill you up as much meaning you can supplement with them even if full.
ReplyDeleteEating a meal and drinking protein at the same time is fine. Your stomach will digest it fine, maybe a little slower as it has other food to deal with at the same time, but nothing bad is going to happen.
Just watch the total number of calories you are eating daily (include the shakes in there) and you're set.
