Supplement Questions

[eddy22]

Hi, I'm 17, 6 foot 2 and way 187lbs and have been bodybuilding for about 5 months now around 4 times a week at around an hour a session.
I have been taking protein basically since I started working out. I started having one straight after every session and then after a month or two started to have one in the mornings as well. Recently I purchased bsn's cell mass which is meant to be taken after workouts however, I was wanting to get as many opinions as possible on some questions I have.

1) When is the best time to take protein? and is it worth having two a day?
2) Can you mix cell mass in with your Protein or should you wait 45 minutes after taking cell mass to have your protein (that’s what I’ve heard).
3) It also says to take cell mass on an any stomach? However from what I have read on this site it is a lot more beneficial to eat before your workout. So if I had food say an hour before my workout and then in effect would be taking cell mass 2 hours after eating, would that be an empty stomach?

I know there’s alot of questions there, just trying to get as much answered as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers

1)You should get at least 1g of protein per pound of body weight.So you should be taking in at least 187g of protein a day spread between 5-7 small meals.Get your protein from whole foods as well.

2)I wouldn't mix it,it sounds absolutely gross ,take your creatine pre or post w/o,what ever is easier for you.Have a meal/shake 1 hour pre workout then have the cellmass half hour before your workout.You don't need to over think things,just make sure you have your pre and post workout meal and fit the creatine in whenever.
