Question: When is the best time to drink my soy protein shake, are those bad for you? will it cause constipation?


Question Description:
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm exercising today or not, but I still want to have my soy protein shake...when is the best time of day to drink it (I don't replace meals with it, i drink it between meals because im trying to GAIN weight)? Also, I was wondering if soy protein shakes are good for you...i've heard a lot of controversy over them. Do they cause constipation? Because that's also a problem for me. Anyone have ANY advice on ANY of this?

Answer#1: u can really drink it any time but i also do it after my work out


Answer#2: yes


Answer#3: I can help with the constipation problem. Try taking Papaya Enzyme. You can get it at Wal-mart in the vitamin section. Their chewable great taste. Take two each morning it does wonders.


Answer#4: The shakes were consumed one and two hours after intense leg training and provided about 6 grams of protein, 34 grams of carbs, or both per shake for a 150 bodybuilder. The L-phenylalanine uptake in the protein and carb shake was measured as being three times higher than the carb shake and roughly twice as great as the amino shake! So, there you have it! As you know, the postworkout shake is the most critical meal for your increased anabolism. Make sure you're getting some carbs in your postworkout shake for best results! You can take any time during the day but not before going to Bed like ordinary milk or milk drink. Consumption of this will not cause constipation


Answer#5: You are doing it right by eating it between meals. To gain weight, you must consume more than you burn, you just have to be careful and do it in a healthy way. As to your constipation, increase your fiber intake, up to 30 grams per day. Lettuce, other greens, broccoli, lentils and other beans are all good sources of fiber.


Answer#6: o now that i no youre trying to gain weight this is different. put ice cream in it and have it for dessert.
