[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 415232, member: 12207"] The raw science on Protein shakes is surprisingly hard to find. Almost every article you'll pull up will turn out to be funded by a supplement producer and thus skews the conclusion to suggest anyone who works out should drink them. But the truth is that empirical data has shown that the impact these fast absorbing, amino acid laden protein shakes only reduce the recovery time of high level athletes. Even if you're working out almost every day, you need to be doing for a duration and an intensity that you'd otherwise find it hard to train the following day for the supplements to have a measurable effect. The truth is that if you eat good complex proteins from meat, legumes, lentils, quiona (brilliant stuff - the only complete protein that isn't an animal protein), you'll be largely in the clear. What good nutrition and exercise requires is a serious focus on the real foods you consume, the times you train and the way you train - not magic potions. But yes it's certainly right that protein alone - no matter where you get it from - won't do anything if you're not working out right (or at all). The human body economises on what it's given and therefore won't assign protein for muscle building (repairing and reinforcing) if there is no impetus - instead it will store the extra calories as fat.
