Use of Gainzz Products

[David Clark]

I am planning on incorporating GainZz products into my diet and I am curious what I can drop. I eat three meals per day spaced about 5-6 hours apart. My macros are set by my SSOC coach.

1) Protein: am I correct in assuming that I use 1 scoop og Gainzz whey isolate per meal and meet my remaining protein needs with my food and plain whey products?

2) I currently take 5 grams of Creatine Monohydrate daily as well as 5 grams pre and post workout. I also consume 10 grams of BCAAs pre and post workout. If I use Gains Rx what of this would it replace?

Thanks

Hey David,

I would not recommend taking whey with meals containing other protein (in significant quantities). I would just take whey before bed in this instance to increase your total protein intake.

I would also not take 15g creatine per day, but rather just 5g (e.g. the gainzZz rx pre and post workout). No need to take any additional creatine.

So I would go from this:

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday Training Day	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday Training Day
BCAAs			10g Pre 10g Post				10g Pre 10g Post
Creatine Monohydrate	5g AM	5g AM	5g AM 5g Pre 5g Post	5g AM	5g AM	5g AM	5g AM 5g Pre 5g Post

to this:

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday Training Day	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday Training Day
GainZz Rx			1 scoop Pre 1 scoop Post				1 scoop Pre 1 scoop Post
Creatine Monohydrate	5g AM	5g AM		5g AM	5g AM	5g AM

Getting 260 grams of protein with only 20 grams from whey will be a challenge.

Can you elaborate on why that is?

Can you elaborate on why that is?

No need to take whey when there is already a bunch of protein in a meal. If it's just to hit macros, sure that's fine, but otherwise I'd recommend more spread out protein boluses or lowering protein intake if needed.

That seems rather high unless you weigh a lot.

That is the recommendation of my SSOC. Goal is recomposition, 227 lb 62 yr old male.

Understood. I don't think it's harmful and it'll probably help.
