Poor man's protein shake.

[Bolder]

200g of Skim Milk powder + 1.2g (or half a gallon of Milk) + Frozen Banana ~ 110g of protein and like 1400 calories, a lot of sugar though.

Try it .

I don’t understand the quantity recommendation here. Everyone knows there’s no gainz with less than 150g protein/shake.

The "can't absorb more than 30g protein at a meal" thing is bullshit, but there comes a point at which excess protein per sitting just get used as energy.

I take food 3X daily, and i try to keep protein to not more than 70 grams at a one time.
I also time feedings around workouts, so utilization on those days is pretty sure to be high.

I'm doing time restricted feeding.
People who are able to have more meals per day should probably split protein intake up even more.
I'd say get at least 30 grams of quality protein at a sitting though.

I sometimes split up the protein shake at morning and night, when my sister isn't hogging the blender. I'm not iffy or stringent about it, I just get it in when I can. It's all for convenience.

I agree that you get better MPS with more frequent meals and protein.

But protein is really expensive, I do what I can.

[Wilhelm]

That's true. I guess you don't have to drink it all at once.

I was just messing with you. I agree, splitting it up is probably a good idea! As mentioned you can “use” more than 30-40g of pro per meal, but if you have enough carbs etc., it will not produce greater muscle protein synthesis. So if you’re looking to save money and you need the calories, maybe just have half the shake and fill in the rest of the cals with something cheap — should have the same effect on your gainz
