Answer 1

#1. supplemental proteins can be used to increase the nutrient content of any meal that may be lacking in protein. they are also very beneficial when taken before exercise, to reduce the catabolic effects of exercise. and after exercise for muscle repair to jump start the muscle recovery process. take you protein shake immediately after exercise with some carbohydrates. muscle tissue is primed for nutrient uptake directly after exercise as insulin sensitivity is very high at this point.

#2. depending on the flavor you can add things like peanut butter and fruit

#3. muscles grow when they are at rest not during exercise. 60% of muscle growth occurs at night. so taking protein on non-training days and before bedtime is very important for maximum muscle growth.

Answer 2

its best 2 take it first thing when u wake up in the morning and then lunch and b4 bed u can mix it with water or skim milk u can put it in a smoothie however u want u should have 1 gram of protein 4 every Pound u weigh so if u weigh 200lb u should have 200 grams of protein read the label 2 find out how much protein is in one serving and then figure out how many servings u need 2 take remember u also get protein from what u eat so dont take all ur protein from ur shakes

Answer 3

-it's ok before or after a workout. before for energy and after to replenish your muscles. just don't drink it right after. wait 20-30 min. at lease.
- whey protein is good with skim milk or frozen fruit like bananas or strawberries and ice.
-it's ok to drink on off days as a snack.
