How often should i take whey protein shakes for efficient muscle growth?

    Hey guys im 16 years old close to 17, and im wondering how often i should take whey protein shakes. I take around 5 a week at the moment.
    My routine is:

    Monday GYM – Upper body + Abs – Shake after the workout.Morning run before breakfast 2-6miles-i have half a shake before the run.

    Tuesday – Morning run before breakfast 2-6miles-i have half a shake before the run.

    Wednesday GYM- Lower body+ Abs – Shake after the workout

    Thursday- Morning run before breakfast 2-6miles-i have half a shake before the run.

    Friday GYM – Upper body + Abs – Shake after the workout. Morning run before breakfast 2-6miles-i have half a shake before the run.

    Saturday i dont take it and i dont on sunday either, either sat or sun il have a rest day, on either one il do sports like football or tennis.
    I also do football and tennis throughout the week.

    I really want the muscles to start gaining strength and bigger, so shall i take it more often more times a week? or am i good how i am? ive been doing this routine for 2 weeks.

    Thanks a lot

    wow, really targeting your abs aren’t you…

    straight after your workout you need to take your whey protein when your body needs it the most, you do need to eat a balanced diet too alongside the protein shakes. i have 2/3 shakes per day but each contains different things, i won’t confuse you for the time being, i think you should have another look at your workout plan and look up stronglifts 5×5 programme or anything by joe defranco

      you need to be consuming 1g of protein per lb of body weight. there is a product called creatin widely available from health shops, it is naturally occurring in the human body and enhances the fuel efficency of your muscles.
