Right before bed, I do another whey+non-fat milk drink (caesin protein is supposed to be better for night use, but I'm too poor to afford multiple types of protein)
I get nearly half the protein I need in a day from that with a grand total of 10g fat. The rest of the protein I get is from chicken and fish (And I suppliment with L-Carnitine because I eat almost no red meat). Seems to work well for me to gain mass, and my muscles recover MUCH quicker that way. I can push myself to the point of muscle failure during my sets, and if I eat enough protein at the right times, I don't ache at all the next day, and I can resume right where I left off 2 days after the workout
yea i noticed that, im not hardcore into my workouts, but i noticed a huge difference in recovery time from the gym. but i dont think i get as much protein as you do, my thing is, i drink the protein drink once every morning, and thats it. i think i should do it after i come back from the gym thoughm i dont know.
