I've just started having protein shakes after workouts, but i still don't no much about them. Like is it ok to have protein shakes on days you're not working out on. Also how many should a teenager like myself have a day. And should i have a protein shake before workouts as well. Thanx

Yes, it's ok to have them on nonworkout days, try to get enough of your nutritional requirements from regular food though first. Take whey as needed to reach your protein requirements. It's usually best right after you wake up, in between meals, or before bed.
Keep taking them postworkout as well, it's good you have that down so far.

alright awesome, this is along the same topic as I was going to make, but instead ill add on to here...
Im brand new to weight lifting. Ive been posting most of the day that im about 5'8 and 153lbs trying to tone up for vacation.
Anyway after reading these boards earlier tonight I went out and bought 2, 25lbs weights. Along with Whey, low fat milk, reduced fat peanutt butter, low fat yogurt, and some beef jerky.
Ive never made or had a protein shake before nor have I had any schedules or pre planned work outs (id just lift weights whenever i felt like it on occations) so im looking for some type of schedule for when is the best time to have protein shakes (before or after work out?) before bed? when i wake up? as a drink along with my lunch? Im clueless so any help will be appriciated.
Also ofcourse with all this protein im going to be taking in I cant let it turn into fat so I have to work it off...just about how much do I have to do to ensure im working out enough to actually be making a difference since most of my workouts will be squeezed in late at night with a few minutes to spare before bed and a few minutes to spare in the morning before work.
and lastly a friend said its good to drink a protein shake before bed? is this true, i figured if you drink a shake then go to bed it would just turn into fat since your not really moving or exersizing anything off by sleeping.
alright thanks in advance.
