A question about protein drinks???

Question

im 16, and i don't want to bulk up but maintain my weight. wil protein shakes help me, cuz i read they bulk u up if u train hard. i train around 4 times a week, but wanna keep my weight, not bulk up. is this the right choice for me???

Answer 1

Protein contain half calori than carbodhydrates

Answer 2

Bulking up had nothing to do with protien shakes. In order for you to bulk up you will have to be eating ALOT. Calorie consumtion in great quantities = gain weight = bulking up. Moderate what you eat and you will not gain weight. Also, You repitions on sets should be 10-20 instead of 3-8. The more reps you do the longer the muscles grow. The lower reps the bigger they grow.

Answer 3

Everyone needs protein, as long as you just take a powder with water that ISN'T a weight gainer (meaning, it should have about a hundred calories or so, meaning about 20-25g of protein per serving)

Answer 4

A friend of mine tried the protein shakes/drinks and he trains as well and he bulked up. But  it depends on what protein drink you choose, there are many out there.
