I know protein is important but I go to the gym 3-4 times per week and I am also a cook which means I'm on my feet all day. I want your thoughts on this drink I take after my workout and see if you think its too much for the day or even at once.

• 1 Cup orange juice
• 1 raw egg
• handful of fruit,
• 1 ice cube.
• All
  blended together and its a nice drink(I use magic bullet as my blender :)

I Think I need it as I don't get a much protein from different types of food, like for example, I eat allot more chicken and meat then I do fish veggies. I also take the drink to gain muscle better.

A good shake for protein and energy is fill a blender with milk, 2 scoops chocolate Whey protein mix, 2 bananas, 4 strawberries, and a big heaping spoonful of peanut butter. Does the trick and tastes good too. If you want that egg protein, drink it and eat a couple hard boiled eggs

Not sure what you mean though when you say you dont get much protein from food if you are eating lots of chicken. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying

Reilly, the only protein you are getting from that concoction is roughly about 6 grammes from the egg. It's hardly worth bothering. Get yourself some good quality protein powder, you'll be getting between 30g and 50g per shake, 2-3 times a day. You'll notice a difference in muscle bulk and tone quite quickly.

Sugar after a workout is more important than protein on its own (fructose does not count eg orange juice).  If you don't want to buy protein shakes, grab a nesquick chocolate milkshake sugar/protein from milk and chocolate is better than nothing and will aid with recovery.

You listed the main protein sources in meat and fish....where else will you get complete proteins from?

Gain muscle...? your a chef cook some food and eat it :)

Larry I get lazy. But I drink a thing called "Anytime Breskfest". Its gets me 50% of what I need for the day and I drink whey protwin powder with my shake now. Taste good :)

You people do everything the hard way.

Steriods people!! muscle pumpin' healthy fun!

I can't take the chance my dick might get smaller, I need it!
