what is the best brand of protein for post workout?

you should go with 100% whey only.  you don't want the blends of protein that have whey and possibly stuff like casein protein.  whey is broken down in roughly 30-60 mins which is what you want right after workout...so you have protein to repair/build muscle.  casein isn't bad but it is used up over a few hours...which is better before you sleep or in the morning so your body has a constant supply of protein.\n\ntry optimum nutrition 100% whey...chocolate mint is my favorite.

I used to use dessicated liver tabs, lean beef and chicken. Protein powders are useful but read the label first and use it sparingly. A good, complete diet should be enough to build muscle without the use of supplemented protien powders.

One thing that my husband and I eat before going and working out is a protein shake.  It is milk, protein mix from GNC, peanut butter, frozen bananas, and if you want mix in honey. With all the items blend it in a blender.  That is always what gets us when we go and workout. Instead of putting ice in there, freeze your bananas and toss them in there and you have your bananas and ice all in one.  Also when you freeze your bananas it keeps them for a long time. :D

Protein builds muscle, muscle burns fat. The best protein drink (blech) - The least nasty tasting one is the Curves chocolate drink. It's not as chalky/gritty as some other powder. I try to get my protein through diet, though.

Fruit is good to eat after a workout.  I'd suggest drinking water instead of juice.  I also like a half a peanut butter sandwich sometimes.

well, A protein hevy diet will certainly help boost any results you may have from lifting. The pprotein is what is actually used to build the muscle. Myoplex is a great way to get a load of protein for shakes and such.

Consume about a gram of protein per pound of body weight. Get protein from mostly natural sources but it is OK to have a protein shake or two during the day. The key is to get quality protein throughout the day and especially after you workout. I drink a protein shake from ABB called Extreme Body RTD 50. It taste great to me and has 50 grams of protein. Here is a link to some reviews on the ABB protein shake (five different favors now):\n\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/extreme-body-shake-81438.htm

1.What foods should i eat before and after workout?  \n\nYou should eat your work out food pre workout, anywhere from 30-45 minutes ahead of time, so that your body has fuel to work out on.\n\n2.When should i drink my protein shakes?  Protein shakes can be drank anytime.  I have them for my breakfast, also for snack times.\n\n3.How long should i spend for my workout?  A good workout should last at least 20-30 minutes for optimum results.\n\n4.I want to take eggs as my primary source of protein.So, which one is better?Eat raw eggs?Boil the eggs?Fried the eggs?\n\nBoiled or poached is better than fried, and raw can be dangerous.

It is hands down whey. Take it before and after your workout.

Creatine and Protein work when used properly.  \n\nMuscle Milk was originally developed as a dog food, and NO xplode is an arginine supplement.  So they aren't the best.\n\nI recommend AST's products \nhttp://www.ast-ss.com/\nand they offer some very good advice on how to work out on their website.\n\nAlso look for advice here:\nhttp://www.abcbodybuilding.com/

Whey protein is a far superior muscle builder than soy protein.Whey is more bio available (gets to your muscles quicker) buy a whey isolate as opposed to a whey concentrate. Isolate is a more refined.Whey isolate contains no cholesterol so that should allay your concerns.If you take whey isolate its best taken post workout.For an all purpose protein get a blend of whey isolate and caseinate.The latter is a slower digesting milk protein.This blend is good to take in the AM or even better prior to bed.Check out  www. proteinfactory.com they have a great staff and will answer all your questions via Email quickly.Good luck with your training.

I'm taking NoXplode right now and I love it. Its really given me motivation in the gym. Dont buy it from GNC though youll spend twice as much as you would if you ordered it over the internet. Stack  NoXPlode with a good whey protein, Optimum is my favorite. Dont take and diet pills while you're trying to gain weight. Proper nutrition is key to great gains.

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

Frequently trainers will attempt to market a 3rd party brand at a marked up price to get some extra bucks in their pockets.  I am reasonably well familiar with all the major protein powder brands and I have never heard of this product, so I looked it up.  Yes, I see that it apparently comes from India, so I guess that qualifies as "worldover".  Compare the price per pound you get on the powders at the gym to what you can get online.  Chances are good that you will do better online.\n\nBrands of protein that I have used:\nAST Sports Science: http://www.ast-ss.com\nEAS: http://www.eas.com/\nLabrada: http://www.labrada.com\n\nAll of the above are good name brand companies with a good reputation in the community.\n\nPlaces that I have shopped online:\nhttp://www.netrition.com/\nhttp://www.dpsnutrition.net/\nhttp://www.ezpricematch.com/\n\nThe last link is the one I have been using most often.  If I find a lower price than theirs anywhere on the web, they will beat that price by 5%.\n\nNow, the other issue I see here is that your desire is to be pure vegetarian.  That is a bit of an issue since I really recommend whey protein.\n\nMany vegetarians try soy protein, but soy is only healthy for you in a fermented form such as Miso.  Unfermented soy causes many problems.  Read these articles for details:\nhttp://www.mercola.com/article/soy/index.htm

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always searching for more protein. The best-tasting and least noticable protein powder would be Whey protein powder. It works like a charm, gives you lots of protein, and you won't even notice it.

The answer is anyone at any time as food supplement.\n\nAs the term supplement suggests, if you are eating healthy diet you do not need any supplement, supplement is not wholefood. However, it is very GOOD when you have regular work-out, resistant training or aerobics.\n\nAbout the time you take it - I would say between meals, also some hours before your work-out session, and I don't think it is important to take it AT ONCE after the work-out, but just take it some time after your work-out. The reason is simple, it take 3-4 hours to digest even the isolate is easier to be "absorbed", when replacing the protein loss, your body is using the resources already there which is what you ate few hours ago and before.\n\nBUT the most appropriate use is for bodybuilders, who are very aware of UNWANTED extra carb or fat, doing hard-core weight training to take it regularly. Hard-gainer and beginners just take whey protein.\n\nThere are links you can go to and read more about whey protiein isolate like VPX, Isopure, etc. If it's 100% it's zero carb and no fat and costs you more.\n\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/store/vpx/cross.html\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/isopure-zero-carb-81730.htm\n\nYou can find nearly all the popular whey protein from there with review\n\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/category1072.htm\n\nBe careful, 100% whey protein may not be isolate and so it's not really all protein without carb and fat.\n\nExtract from VPX\n\n>100% Whey Protein Isolate \n>Microfraction Selection Technology \n>Great Tasting Flavor \n>Zero Carbohydrates \n>Zero Sugar \n>Zero Fat \n>Zero Aspartame or Acesulfame K \n>Zero Corn Syrup Solids or Hydrogenated Oils \n>Zero Fat-Promoting High Glycemic Index Maltodextrins \n>Zero Caseinate, Ion Exchange or Other Old-School Proteins \n>Zero Estrogen Promoting Inferior Soy Proteins \n>Zero Lactose - Generally Safe for Most People with Milk Allergies \n\nWhy supplement your nutrition program with protein?\n\nProtein exerts the release of many powerful muscle building (growth hormone and IGF-I) and fat burning (glucagon, GH, etc) hormones. It is also necessary to build and repair muscle tissue. Frequent consumption of high quality lean proteins help maintain a lean muscular physique
