PhD mike… You’re saying take protein in the morning, after workout, after dinner and before bed with milk? Is that not too much protein? I’m new to the use of protein but I’m seeking anything that will help me right now! I’m trying to slim up my post pregnancy belly! I have been working out my abs everyday during the weekdays then running only on Monday Wednesday and Friday. I take 56g of Protein immediately following my workout. Do u have any suggestions on exactly when I should take it?

To answer your question, staying at a 56g protein diet helps you lose incredible weight but make sure to add it between meals. Taking protein in the morning is great for a jump start. After dinner is great too. Before bed take a 24g scoop with milk. Weight loss in no time.

Hi, I tend to take whey protein before and after exercise and eat lots of protein meals and lots of fruit and veggies. I do only do light weight lifting but lots of biking and cardio. And I feel that it has really helped me with my results on losing weight and feeling stronger. I am by no means a huge weight lifter. From my research it says it’s ok to take whey protein if you’re just wanting to lose weight and so forth. Biggest thing is when I take whey before a workout I feel like I get fatigued quicker while working out and I get heartburn and burp it up. So I’ve stuck to just eating a few good carbs and protein an hour before workouts and just use the whey protein for after. Will this affect my results by just taking after exercise only? Or do I need to suck it up and still do before and after? Please answer my questions and give any other advice – thank you!

Does whey protein really help in losing fat? With workouts in the gym?

I have just bought whey protein (chocolate) but am a little bit confused – when should I take whey protein since I go for a workout in the evening, and what amount of whey protein should be taken?

I just bought whey protein and I am only 14. Do I still take a scoop of whey protein and also when doing cardio should you take whey protein afterwards and before?

Hi Ezekiel, and good question. First off we should say that we recommend you always consult a health professional, such as a doctor if you have doubts about how much you should have – perhaps a family member who is in the medical field can help. Our advice would be to have less than the recommended amount for an adult, as your body is still going through many natural changes of its own during your adolescent years. As far as taking it before a wrestling meet: whey protein acts over time, not in a quick way, so taking it right before won’t make any difference in such a short time.

Ok, I’m 15 years old and my mom bought the whey protein powder for me because I’m doing wrestling. Does my age change the difference on how much I should have everyday? And should I take some before a wrestling meet?

maybe yes, but maybe no – toss a coin that’s the best way to judge

I work out early in the morning (6:30 am), should I take one dose of whey before and after my workout or before I go to bed and after my workout?
