Just bought 10lb bag of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein....Question.?

Question

I am 20 years old, 6'1", 165 lbs. I have been lifting weights for a few years now and have taken many different types of creatine, little bit of protein when I first started as well.

Well like I said I just bought a 10lb bag of whey protein to start taking because I figure this will be the best way to bulk up instead of creatine. I was just wondering, how many servings do I take of it a day? It's 24 grams of protein in one serving and it says it has 155 servings in it.

Thanks a lot.

Also, when should I take it during the day? Also how would that change on me taking it during non-workout days? Or should I not take it at all during non-workout days? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hey man well first off, to answer your question 1-2g of protein per pound of body weight is the the norm. for an active weight lifting male. Start off with one.
Second " bulking up " Has to do with protein but it is directly related to the Caloric intake vs. Calories burned. Remember that they are " Supplements " to supplement your diet. Which if you want to bulk should consist of 5-7 meals a day with good sources of food protein and good sources of complex carb.s as well as an assortment of fruits and veggies.
