How many shakes a day?

I say eat steak first. I am biased. I can eat 2kg of steak in a day easily before I drink the same amount of protein shake. Age is catching up though...
 
Ideally 1 or 2?

Protein from food first; whatever you can't make up, supplement (be reasonable though, don't drink 200g worth of protein..)
 
when should i have one? im new to the supplement side of it,
pre workout, after workout? before bed wat?
 
Like everything else it depends on what study you read. Some studies show peak protein absorption a short time after workout and others show it for a couple of days (vague memory here). Suppose it would also depend on the breakdown of the shake you are talking about in regards to speed of absorption. Man, one of these knowledgeable people will answer you soon.
 
Stick to two roughly. One after your workout and maybe one before bed. Or before your workout. Whichever you choose. As long as your eating well and exercise common sense you'll see gains.
 
I normally have 2-3 per day.

1 with breakfast (with, not for!), 1 immediately after I train and 1 before bed
 
only training 3 times a week should give you plenty of time to prepare food on your non training days :)

I usually only have them straight after training, try and get your diet right first
 
Whey is fine....whey is meant to activate the most muscle synthesis due to leucine (I think?) Just have it with some milk and I think some cottage cheese. Don't over think it/over spend on supplements. Your not going to notice a difference between whey and casein.

Whatever amount that meets with “necessary”.

In other words, you do what you do and whatever you need to do to get the job done, no more and no less. That would satisfy what is “necessary”.

PS: For a more detailed answer, I would need a more detailed question. Thank you.
