Adding protein supplements (whey/casein)
Posted on 3/25/21 at 1:13 pm
Posted on 3/25/21 at 1:13 pm
Right now I’m doing a whey protein shake post workout in the morning. I’m thinking about adding additional protein in the afternoon (I usually have about 6oz of chicken, fish or beef for lunch and again at dinner).
Would it work if I added casein in the afternoon around 3:00 or better to wait until after dinner?

Why not just eat more meat?

Would help to know what your diet actually consists of outside of one meal and your protein shake.
General feeling would be to get as much protein as possible from meat and only use protein shakes for convenience rather than hitting your daily protein goals.

I usually don’t eat breakfast because the protein shake and coffee is enough for me and Im not usually hungry in the morning. Lunch and dinner are about the same 6oz of meat or so and 2 vegetable sides (cauliflower, Brussels, broccoli, etc). 20 Reese’s Pieces and 1.5oz of bourbon while chilling with the wife after the kids go to bed and watching The Expanse on Amazon.

How can you have any gainz if you don’t eat your meat?!

Track your food and see if it’s needed.

You definitely aren’t eating enough. So that tells us you’re not very muscular. You should be eating at least 1 g of protein per pound of body weight if not 1.5 g. Strive for six meals a day.

So if I need 1 - 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight that means 73 - 110g of protein daily
Protein shake is around 35g, Lunch and dinner w 6oz of meat in each serving is at least 80-100g total so I’m getting 115 - 135g of protein without the casein which would add another 30 g.
Sounds like my frail non muscular physique is getting plenty of protein w/o the casein. I don’t suppose it’s hurting anything.

no in general shoot for 1g per pound of bodyweight, not per kg. and 6oz of meat is only 35g or so of portien.
so you are prolly getting less than 100g a day which isnt shite. Thats what 100lbs females eat.
want to gain muscle? want to keep from losing muscle while cutting? want to get stronger? want to look better? then eat more meat.
casein/whey is fine but you are eating like a bird otherwise. eat your meat or you can have any pudding!!

I’m just going off of google that has 6 oz of chicken or beef at around 50 grams - could be less than that I suppose.
I originally altered my diet to lose weight which worked so now That I’m at a target weight I’m just making sure I get enough protein to build muscle since I’m lifting around 4 times per week. I’m seeing a big difference in muscle mass and definition already. Meat is expensive so the casein is a way of conveniently/economically adding protein mid afternoon.

so for meat
you can get chicken breast and thighs at sams for cheap, 1.99 a pound.
roteiserrie chicken is cheap too
tuna is cheap in bulk
eggs in bulk are cheap
watch for sales etc
casein is fine but it is more expensive than meat always
