Using Protein Shakes - Advice

Protein Shakes, what are they and what can they do for you?
Protein is vital for the body when trying to gain muscle. As a personal trainer I advise people to take around 2grammes of protein for every kilo in body weight, so if someone wanted to put on weight in muscle (Hypertrophy) and they weighed 60 kilos then they would want to take in about 120 grammes of protein. But not everyone weighs 60 kilos! Some of us weigh more, and the guideline amount for protein intake in one meal is aproximately 40g of protein, although some people will be able to take in more than that you will want to keep that in mind. So not everyone carries round a Lean Mean fat Grilling Machine with them! Not everyone has the time to prepare chicken and steak throughout the day.
So that where our protein shakes come in use. They take a minute or so to put to together, with a scoop of powder added with a bit of milk, water or juice stir for 20 seconds, and there you go you’re done!
Protein shakes are very convenient for the average office working person, or someone always on the move everyday, due to work or other daily activities.
We don’t want to be dependant on protein shakes we, do still need to try and get as, much protein as we can in our normal food, and meals, but this is always not always possible as we have already said, so protein shakes are the answer.
You would want to take your protein shakes maybe three times a day, morning afternoon, and evening. I recommend using whey protein, in the morning at least and maybe at night time, as whey protein is the fastest digesting protein there is. Depending on what type of workout you're doing, one straight after your workout would be beneficial as well. If you’re a big chocolate eater then if you were to eat chocolate in the day, I would recommend eating it straight after your workout, as you body need energy. Then within about 2 hours of your workout you will want to have a meal that consists of all the vital nutrients the body need, basically a balanced diet. So let's quickly go through a typical day, which would consist of training and how you might eat during that day.
8am – Porridge oats, with honey + Protein Shake
10am – Sandwich (Brown Bread), consisting of cheese, and ham
11am-12 – Banana, apple, and pasta (Brown Pasta) in tomato sauce
1pm – Your workout – (Note: Remember if you trying to put muscle on your workouts should never last more than 45/55 minutes)
2pm – [Maybe] Chocolate, + Protein Shake and Oranges, kiwi
3.30/4pm – Full meal, consisting of protein, carbohydrates and fat, plus some vegetables, and maybe some fruit afterwards

6pm – Brown bread banana sandwich
8pm – protein shake + fruit
10pm - Bed time!
Obviously you will want to drink some fluids of some sort, like lots of water throughout the day, cup of tea. But water is the main one.
I only buy my protein from one place and one place only. I have been buying my protein from here after getting recommended to them when I was studying to become a personal trainer. They have top quality protein shakes, where you have a range of products to choose from. But what my personal preference is whey protein.
