I just joined the this forum, so hello everybody…. I just started the program and tomorrow is my first Carb Nite but, I was just wondering how much whey protein should I take as a daily dose?
The carb night book needs to be updated, the only time you should use whey is post workout. 25-50g, whatever is needed to get around .8-1.3g per lb of bodyweight.
Trevor, I thought the whey protein was ok during ULC if you kept in at 10g and/or if you included fat like MCT or Coconut oil. Is that not the case?
What you are referring to is the accelerator shake and it is fine, but you don't really want to over 10 g of whey isolate. Personally I abstain from all protein powders when I am ULC.
taking the accelerator shake on CNS is more than likely going to help more so than harm. 10g of protein is nothing to worry about. If you take more than one accelerator make sure its a solid 3-4 hours apart.
I have 1/2 a scoop of whey in my first meal (~12.5g protein), and 1+1/2 scoops with my meal around 4:30pm (2-3 hours pre-workout). The second dose is taken with 3/4 tbsp of heavy cream and 2 oz. full-fat cheddar cheese.I am on CNS, and I drop fat at a rate of 1-2 lbs. a week. No issues with this method of eating. I rely, to some degree, on whey b/c I am vegetarian.My usable carbs still clock around 7.5g a day.Cory
