Hello everyone ! I recently thought about if there was any limit as to how many scoops of protein a day one should consume. Obviously the answer is, as many as it takes to fill in the remaining protein grams you need to meet your macros that you could not get from your meals. But honestly, this answer is not really satisfying. How many scoops should be enough for anyone to consume before we are crossing the line into overusing a protein powder. I use 2 scoops of Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey after my workouts and then have a meal 30 minutes after that. I find this to be a fairly normal consumption, I mean think about it. 50 grams of your protein intake in one day come from powders, should that not be enough ? The body needs to digest this fairly large amount of protein, and if you then go even further and use even more powders your stomach might take a blow.

 

What do you think ? How many scoops of protein do you usually consume on a daily basis ?

I take 2-3 scoops at the moment. I know theres lots of opinions on protein, tons of research to be had out there like, what's too much, how much you should take daily, when should you take it ect. but I defiantly know your body can only digest so much in a certain time period. What that is can be up for debate but I feel ingesting no more than 40g-50g in a 2 hour period works for me. What I mean by that is after my workout I take a shake and breakfast with said amount and won't ingest more protein for at least 2 hours. If my stomach takes a blow from powders it's usually one that my body has trouble processing or if I take them too close together like a pre and post workout followed by breakfast sort of thing. I take one after my workout, late day snack(if needed) and before bed. I use BSN Syntha 6 and I don't have any issues.

When to take Whey protein... very confusing sometimes. Well, I take 2 scoop a day. I take them as pre and post workout, 1 scoop in my breakfast and 1 scoop after workout. Someone told me that I should take it 2 scoop after workout. Is perfect timing on taking it really that important?

It depends. I train fasted so I need that shake in immediatley after my workout. Also I don't think taking half your daily protein goal for the day in one shot would be a good idea. Maybe I over comlicate things a little sometimes but when it all comes down to it you just need to hit your numbers for the day.

William,

 

I do 2 shakers of protein - 1 with 2 scoops (50g) of Optimum Nutrition Casein and water and 1 with 2 scoops (60g) of Optimum Nutrition ProComplex with low fat milk. On workout days, I drink 1/2 a shaker of casein with my first meal and 1 shaker of ProComplex after my workouts. That equates to 25g + 60g = 85g total.

 

On non-workout days, I have 1/2 shaker of casein with my first meal and the other half of casein with my last meal = 50g total.

 

I think using any more supplemental protein and scoops is wasting money and being too dependent on protein powders rather than food for your protein intake.
