Got a protein shake question. A while back I got NitroCore 24. I’ve seen you mention other powders but I have three 6lb containers of this stuff and would like to use it before I spend more money on other powders. I’m just not sure when to drink it and how much of it to use. (I have a kitchen scale so I can measure it out). Can it be used as a meal replacement (if I’m at work and can’t break away for my 2nd or 4th meal), should I drink it after I work out, is this one okay to drink at night for my last meal, what about for breakfast? Can you tell I’m confused?

Great questions! If is it just protein (look at the carbs and fat… if they are really low, then this is just protein), then you would want to mix it with/have in addition to… something with a little carbs and fat to replace a meal. That is ideally… I also add it to my oatmeal with berries = meal. If you are using it at work and can only mix the protein and water, then that is a much better option than not eating. It may not sustain you as long though. Drinking it within 30minute-1hour after working out is the best time to drink it. Yes, you can have it right before you go to bed and if you have it for breakfast, I would mix it with additional ingredients. I just advise keeping the shakes to a 2 shake per day max and try to get your other meals from food. I added a doc to the top of the group as well if you are looking for additional info
