1) Provides a quick source of protein. Easily and quickly absorbed, highly digestible.Originally posted by tut4nkh4m3n:can someone kindly clear my queries and doubts on protein shakes/powders wdv it is... please?

2) Right after workouts. Hardcores do take pre-workout shakes, and some consume it during workouts. Some also consume in the middle of the day if you are hardcore and bothers a lot about a constant supply of protein to your body.
3) See stickies
4) Excess protein may cause some stress on liver/kidneys. Our mod galapogos will prefer to call it extra activity. However, there's noh known problems on excess protein yet, unless you have weak liver/kidneys. Note: Excess protein is not equal to high protein diet.
Some say it causes constipation. Not sure true a not
Some say higher protein intake may cause the body calcium levels to fall, which is why some protein powders include calcium.
When your workouts are not tough enough, what will most likely happen to your consumed protein powder is just that it will become expensive urine (info from straits times)
Some think chocolate flavoured protein powders are a bit heaty and may thus cause pimples.
5) Same as 2)
6) 7) It is not a miracle product. It just makes access to protein (with minimal fats and carbs) much much more convenient. You still need a good workout.
8) Any effective and tough workout will do it. No special requirements. -
Chicken meat takes longer to digest, protein shakes much faster.Originally posted by ArdusKane:As has been said before, protein shakes are like drinking chicken meat, plain and simple.
As for quality of protein, I think most would agree (from best to worst)
Meat/Natural sources
Protein powder
Protein drinks (those tetra packed ready to drink protein)
Protein bars -

You are a doctor or certified nutritionist?Originally posted by Marco_Simone:If I take it,means there must be something good about it. -
Nope and that is not important anyway.Originally posted by eagle:You are a doctor or certified nutritionist?
I'm just a serious recreational trainee who has got some above average results with protein supplementation. -
It is easily possible to get above average results without protein supplementation.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:Nope and that is not important anyway.

The main difference is convenience and convenience
which I have to agree is extremely important. It's not easy to get protein without much carbs/fats... -

Achievable but expensive
