Hi Simon,

 

You've brought up some excellent points. Just for the record I've been using around 25 grams, almost immediately before & after, so no worries! You do hear stories of people taking whopping doses around training, but that's most likely just a large waste of money.

My protein shakes usually have about 30 grams of protein. Also, I
usually have a protein shake no sooner than a half hour before the
workout, so that there will be about 1 and a half hours between the
shakes. That's a total of 60 grams within 1 and a half hours of high
physical activity.

Rob recommends spreading the protein intake so that the average meal
contains about 30-35 grams, adding up to about 2 grams of protein per
kilo bodyweight. If you have two 50 gram protein shakes, and you weigh
75 kilos, it would leave 50 grams of protein for the rest of your
meals ( e.g. 3 meals).

Protein is rather expensive and it will be excreted in the urine when
taken in excess. Because the hormonal and muscle protecting benefits
of protein are achieved with moderate amounts (and because taking in
more can stimulate insulin too much), why not keep the pre- and post
workout shakes at around 30 grams?
