As I work long shifts its a pain tryin to take more than 1 shake a day. To be honest its usually only after I Work out

Now the whey protein I use states take 1 scoop and mix with water

I got thinking, what would happen if i took two or possible more scoops in the same amount of water as id use for one?

Would my body be able to make use of all that protein? or would it simply absorb a certain amount and then pass the rest out? Thus making me have to try take multiple shakes

Would be a lot better taking more protein in one sitting

Crikey moses, is it really that difficult to put some protein in a shaker, add water, shake then drink? Takes 20-30 seconds at best. Have one when you get up as your body is craving for protein and it kick starts your metabolism and have one post workout. I dont know what shifts you work but get another shaker, put your protein in it pre-prepared and add water when needed. Easy.

Best to have a complex carb meal in the morning to jump start your metabolism. Second to that protein shakes are fine but don't rely on them all the time, it's simple protein it's not like a good source of protein such as lean chewy chicken or steak which will be better at boosting your metabolism and giving you a good protein source.

I also don't understand how you need a blender? buy a shaker put the scoops in put the water/milk in and close then shake for 20 seconds and there you go?

I use a blender as when I added powder to a glass, no matter how much I stirred it or whatever, it still felt powdery, also i add peanut butter to the shake, makes it nice and smooth

I posted that thread and have been experimenting with the pulse feeding ever since, interesting stuff! Seems to be working well whilst I'm cutting. Currently trying it like this:

Monday - Workout - 3000kcals inc 330g protein (most of it after the workout)
Tuesday - 10 mins cardio - 2200kcals inc 220g protein
Weds - Rest - 2200kcals inc 170g protein
Repeat

Those protein figures aren't exact but it's roughly what I'm doing. On the Thursday my protein intake is low until I train and then I start eating loads of protein but never more than 30g of fast proteins in one go as I think this is a waste. I don't think the body can use loads of fast digesting whey in one hit. Meat and casein on the other hand is a totally different matter.

PWO will be something like 30g whey, then 45 mins later a huge meal, like a steak with some liver and eggs.

I can't wait to try this on a lean bulk :)

hmm that seems an awful lot in one go, Im used to having one shake which is about 25g of whey.
But the other day i thought id be a rebel and have two scoops = 50g

The following day queue me sitting on the pan with bowels like hell. Think il up the intake slowly, let my digestive system adapt :rolleyes:
