Is there anything bad if i use protein shakes for gym, do protein shakes have disadvantages??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not generally: In many ways they do little more than add more caloric intake to your diet. They do assure that you have available building blocks for muscle repair needed after a strenuous workout. Since you can do the same with a well balanced diet they can be a waste of money/effort.
