Protein Powder: Questions and Advice Thread

Im looking to take whey protein but am completely lost about which one to get. I have looked at myprotein.co.uk but it has so many different types of protein to choose from. Basically i've started lifting weights around 2 months ago - i weigh 13.7 stones and im 6ft 1.

I am currently trying to reduce the fat in my body as Its way too much and read that doing cardio is bad while building muscle as the body burns the muscle first when training and by having protein it will reduce this effect. So which protein would you reccomend form myprotein.co.uk - btw I prefer flavoured protein.

Thx for ur time

Orange chocolate true whey
Or mint chocolate true whey

Taste so good. And you can use MP61160 at the checkout for 5% off too

For cardio stick to hiit (google it) supposed to be better for keeping your muscle and highers your metabolism for upto 48 hours after doing it.

Thanks for the advice but is that protein available on a smaller quantity?

So would using True Whey make it easier to build muscle while cutting fat by doing cardio?

So that 5lb tub should last a month?

Is it ok to have protein before a workout (30 mins before) or should i have it after the workout?

I've ordered the Whey Blend http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-supplies/flavoured-protein/whey-blend-(5lb)-(refill) and been taking it for 2 days now, 2 x 25g.

I'm wondering what the best dosage would be though.

Taking 25g in the morning after breakfast (in milk) AND 25g after workout in the days I do the workout or randomly in the afternoon when I don't (in water).

Or 25g 30 mins before and 25g immediately after?

Or what else do you recommend? I don't want to overload the liver. I also eat meat, nuts, cheese daily

Hi Guys,

Basically what the title says. I just want to know if my gains will be hit badly if I dont use shakes. Am thinking of going to food as, it may be cheaper. If im wrong please let me know!

Thanks!
