Sport tell me what you think of my protein shakes

quia_pius_es · Jul 20, 2006

I usually drink two protein shakes a day, one in the morning after I work out and one at night before bed.

Morning - (Along with a sandwich and some fruit)
2 scoops whey protein mix (about 40 g protein)
2 tablespoons organic peanut butter
1 banana
1/2 cup oats
1 - 2 cups of soy milk

Night - (Along with four chicken strips)
2 scoops whey
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup yoghurt

I'm trying to add mass without becoming a fatso. I eat 6 times a day, but these are my biggest meals because they are my building up meals. What do you think?

What's your current weight? I wouldn't think you need more than 40g protein (the soy milk would add a significant amount).

I only use a 1/2 scp in mine.

Well, if you get 40g at each meal, that's 240g for the whole day.

One other note: soy is controversial due to it's estrogenic properties. If you're not lactose intolerant, you should drop it.

There's some controversy about it, but many believe that soy has estrogenous effects.

Soy has two plant based estrogen hormones that attach themselves to the receptors and block T. Read the articles in their entirety.
