Fitness question for the men who lift- how many scoops of whey protein do you take with your protein shakes?
Fitness related question but I haven’t gotten any responses from some of the fitness subs.
I am 35 and lifting weights for the first time ever in my life and trying to get in shape. So I am a total beginner with this stuff.
Do you guys use one or two scoops of whey protein in your protein shakes? It’s tricky because I’m trying to lose fat but also build muscle. I’m 5 months in. The fat loss is going great (40 pounds down so far!) but muscle growth is going slower than I’d like.
I am now trying to really kick the lifting into high gear. I usually take one scoop of whey protein and mix in water or milk after my lifting sessions. Trying to get jacked. Will adding a second scoop be beneficial, or is it neither here nor there? And yes I am eating whole foods/protein base meals aside from this.
what do you guys think?
