Protein Shakes necessary?

[Swat Runs Train]

Don't drink protein shakes unless you are working out or you just finished. The only way you'll get fat from them is if you drink them like water. They aren't nessecary, but they are reccommended if you're doing some intense workouts.

What an incorrect post, sorry but your body needs just as much protein to rebuild and repair muscle on your days off as it does on your workout days.


Protein shakes help simply because a lot of people have trouble getting in enough protein to meet their required amount for the day, if you don't have that issue then don't worry about it.

The amount of protein you need in a day is often debated back and forth but for someone building muscle it is generally agreed upon that you need 1 gram protein per pound of bodyweight per day, or more.
