Hello,

"" Hmmm...  aren't protein shakes used to build muscle?  IE: it feeds
the muscles
when bodybuilding? ""

Very true, but the person is not bodybuilding, so he will gain plenty
of fat mass, hence weight.

The reason that bodybuilders eat these shakes is that they get plenty
of fat to convert to muscle. Is not that accurate to say that proteins
feed the muscle, better, muscle is built from fat tissues. If you want
to feed the muscle after exaustion, L-Carnitine is very good.

regards,
Antonio Sergio Sena

Hmmm...  aren't protein shakes used to build muscle?  IE: it feeds the
muscles
when bodybuilding?  For fat gain, I would think that carbs would be
the best
way to go.

But, I strongly believe that this is the type of topic that should be
quickly
answered by a nutritionist or doctor, who would make a safe decision
based on
the specifics of the person.

Cheers,
-Neil.
