[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1965735, member: 6467"] As suggested above, are you sure that you aren't getting enough protein for your needs, including increase in muscle mass after increased exercise? As far as I know protein shakes don't build muscle. They only supply a quick hit of protein post exercise if you aren't already eating enough in your general diet. Most people eat far more protein than require for muscle replacement and repair. The excess is just thrown away. Edit: perhaps your question should be more like "I do x amount of exercise, weigh y, and eat z amount of protein. Do I need to increase my protein intake? If so, are protein shakes the best way?"
