    Currently taking USN muscle fuel it has 50g of protein per serving (3 scoops) would like to get some extra protein by taking whey aswell . Would it be ok to add in to a shake or have 2-3 whey servings a day along with the USN stuff ?

    Thanks

    The USN stuff contains whey already. You won't do any harm added more whey to it, or have 2-3 scoops of whey separately. But it's a bit unnecessary having that much protein powder. 6acoops/150g protein per day.

    150g total or 150g for supplements?
    What the rest of your diet like, whats your total protein intake.



    I eat 175g protein per day, and I have max 25g whey, most days I don't need it.

    Why are you aiming so high with supps.
    Personally don't think there's anything wrong with supps, but knowing your total intake far more important imo.

    In that case, its just whey. Adding 2 or 3 scoops to the USN to up the cals and protein won't any harm. It's still food
