Hoe vaak moet je een shake nemen en hoeveel eiwitten heb je nodig?

How often should you take a shake and how much protein do you need?

If you are new to exercise, it can be confusing how often you should drink a shake and how much protein you need. Here we explain it simply:

How often do you drink a shake?

  • After Exercise: Drink a shake immediately after your workout to help your muscles recover and grow.
  • As a snack: Have a shake between meals, especially if you struggle to get enough protein.
  • Before Bed: Some people take a shake before bed to nourish their muscles while they sleep.

How much protein do you need?

  • If you don't exercise much: About 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is enough.
  • If you're active: Aim for 1.2 to 2.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight, depending on how much you exercise.

If you are just starting to exercise, it is good to eat a little more protein to help your muscles grow.
