How often to eat when taking protein shakes

List your workout schedule ... lifting and otherwise. Also list how many calories per day your are taking in. If you don't know these, this would be a good thing to figure out.

A 90 lb weight loss is really good; if you have hit a plateau, you may need to slightly cut your calories, or change up your workout routine. Finally, it may be time to give yourself a one week break. All of these things will help to give your body the necessary change-up needed to continue your weight loss goals.

I workout Usually doing at the gym 3x a week lately it has not been that way but when I do I do 30 min cardio on the adaptive motion trainer and then I lift for at least an hour. Calories anywhere from 1600-2100. Today was 1900. I usually stay in the 1800-2000. Lately I have Ben doing the 20 minute shred from Jillian michales when I haven't been able to make it to the gym. I have been stuck in the 241-245 range for a month. I will get down to 241 then I go up to 243-244 then I get back down to 241. And no matter what I seem to do I can't get past that 241 threshold.

For a guy your size, your calorie count is pretty low; I don't think lowering it would do any good. Maybe you need to look at what you are eating instead of just the calorie counts.

ONLY allow yourself non-vegetable carbohydrates after working out, otherwise your diet should consist of meat, green veggies, and nuts and seeds. I know, I know ... they taste bad. Well, its times like these that require drastic changes.

I lose weight the easiest when my lfiting workouts are less powerlifting-like, and more circuit like. Thats not to say you can't / shouldn't focus on the multi-joint movements (cuz you should); just drop the weight, WAY up the reps, and lower the rest periods.

This is what I do, but it may not work best for you. Hopefully others chime in here because I too am curious to hear / read others cutting routines.

I have never dine circuit. I usually do the cardio then I do 10-12 reps 2 sets and about 6 different exercises.I would be very interested in doing circuit training. What do you do when your circuit train? I going to the gym tomorrow so I may try that and see what happens. Nw when I go to the gym I have a shake in the morning then go work out then I have a post workout within 10-15 min of working out and then at least 2 more shakes during the day sometimes 1 shake in the afternoon and 1 before bed. Seems if I take to many shakes it seems I gain weight so didn't know if you could to much protein.

Try cutting back on the amount of powder that you use per shake and see if that doesn't help.

As for circuit training, I just combine several different exercises, back-to-back, with little to no rest between exercises, and perform them for time. What has worked for me lately (I am in my mid 40's) is focus on one strength movement first (compound movement aka squat, deadlift, or OH press), and then throw together four or so exercises together that either stress a 2nd body part being worked or are whole body focused and do those back to back. An example set might be to do 3-5 sets of chinups (10), crunches (25), set of DB pullovers (10), set of flutter kicks (25), going from one exercise right to the next, no rest between them, until all of the sets are completed. Maintain good form throughout, and time yourself to see how long it takes to complete all of the sets that planned to do. For more idea's of what do to, google the term "circuit training" and look at the you tube video's that come up.

Good luck !
