Do y’all drink protein shakes on days you don’t work out?

[solitaryman]

@jerryfont I use them whenever I need to hit my goals in a pinch

 

[thequietone]

@jerryfont Yeah. Otherwise I won’t get enough protein.

 

[patriciapapa]

@jerryfont Yes. Protein is important every day of the week, not just on workout days.

@jerryfont No only because I swap it out for vitamin ones. But if you mean vitamin/protein shake then I drink those and possibly addicted to the flavor

 

[theadmiral]

@jerryfont It depends if I need the shake to get enough protein

Your question could also be asked as "do you eat food with protein on days you don't work out", protein shakes are just a high protein food. Clearly you need to fuel your body every day, not just days you train

 

[roscop]

@jerryfont Still a recovery period. Still need protein.

@jerryfont I try to target about 180-190g protein daily, so I usually drink two shakes to get the job done. One of them I mix creatine and almond milk, the other one is store bought. On days I workout I drink the creatine one after workout. But yes everyday you should drink them if you can’t hit protein without it. It doesn’t matter as much when you consume protein as long as you are getting the amount you need daily.

@jerryfont Depends on how much protein you are getting from real food. But for most people, yes.

@jerryfont Yes, I drink protein shakes with NaturalNut peanut butter everyday and I burn the calories in my gym time.
