after workout I take one scoop of whey protein + whey + one raw egg (sometimes) + 1 banana (first time today, sometimes)

Then an hour later or 1.5 hours later I'll take 250g of steam chicken breast + broccoli

I think it should be put this way,

Whole day protein intake should make up 1g/1lb (2.2lb = 1 kg, do your maths! *correct me*)

As supposed to Xmt's, meaning if I weight 88kg then I shd take 60+ g of protein after workout?!

I think around 30-45g is sufficient for instant consumption. Provided there is a next meal containing protein after an hour or two?

Correct me.

yeap. But i think no harm consuming around 130g - 160 for you

Btw the range of 140

I'm constantly eating around 170-200g protein everyday

I read somewhere, it's best that we divide the amount of protein appoximately in every meal. Let's say you need consume 140g / six meals, so each mea around 20g+ protein shd be easy for u right?

I need up to 30-40g per meal hardly catch up due to my student life and eat outside/hostel.

@ Zeist

I'm no pro myself and am fat too. Just managed to lose 25+kg in about half a year two years ago. But that was unhealthy, and I gained 15kg in a year although i lost 7kg since mid feb.

What I would say, dn be afraid to take up pre-bed meal! What's your purpose now? get lean and build some muscle/toned up? or lose weight and have those flabby arms and those?

I see you're lifting weight and I supposed you want to toned up right? Gathering from what I read, pre-bed meal is essential during the slp time, our muscle repairs and build the most. If we go to bed without eating, we will be hunger and those muscles are being used/burnt as a source of energy. We still need calories when sleeping. There is no such thing as taking pre-bed meal will make us fat, unless it's taken excessive.

Protein whey wont make you big la bro! I'm fat (not really fat, but juz fat at 88kg with 22% BF), and I'm consuming protein whey. Whey is no magic without working. You simply cant get big with whey even you workout. You need to workout intensel to get big and not by getting whey! Whey is just another substitute of protein from solid food. being fast to be absorbed, it's good to consume as post-workout meal to let our muscle get the necessary protein faster for recovery.

I do drink whey + milk everyday and every meal before bed. I find that it helps to lose toned up a little so far. lolx!

Correct me!

Yolk is good, but too much of it have negative impact on the body.

Mainly, the argument goes around that yolk contains high cholestrol and fats. but the fats in yolk is healthy plus all the vitamins.

I think the most number of yolk we can consume a day is three. For egg whites, any number

Anyway, wad do you guys think about eating raw eggs?
