Morning upon waking:
Goal: Quick protein source
Example: Grow! Whey
Before Workout:
Goal: Slow protein source? (One hour before?)
Example: Metabolic Drive?
After Workout:
Goal: Insulin spike
Example: Surge (When should I eat after?)
After Workout Meal:
Timeframe? Do I need this, and what are the benefits?
Before Bed:
Goal: Slow protein source?
Example: Metabolic Drive?
Any help is appreciated, I am trying to create some guidelines to follow for myself.
Thanks!
How about some food?
Have your Surge/Whey PWO and maybe one other supplemental shake during the day, Metabolic Drive is good. But like Stu said, you’ve got way too much powder and not enough whole foods.
Woah this isn’t my whole diet I posted. I eat tons of good food all day every day. I’m just trying to establish some guidelines as to what I posted above.

Understood. But, while you have the right idea as to how protein supplements can be used, it appears that you have too many instances of using supplements over whole foods.
Preworkout: you want a slow carb source about 30 minutes before your workout and some fast digesting carbs too. I like to drink half of my Surge before/during my workout then pound the next half after my workout.
PWO: Surge is the best, and if you’re trying to get bigger, eat a 3/1 carb/protein meal about an hour after. If you’re trying to lean out you can eat whatever you normally would (salad, chicken, etc) about an hour later, Surge isn’t meant to be a meal replacement.
Before bed: Metabolic Drive is what I always have, it keeps be satieted so i don’t munch and its a good protein source…i add some nat pb sometimes if i need more calories for the day

Thank you for the advice. I believe you were the only one who understood my post.
You said a slow carb source pre workout, what are some options for that? Would I get any benefits from a slow protein source as well?
