can protein shakes make you fat?

Ive heard from a lot of places that if u take protein shakes and dont exercise they can make you fat. Also heard that if you take one before bed all the energy it gives you will make you fat because you use little energy while asleep. Are these true?

Thanks for your help.
 
ok thanks Fil, I take Whey Pro-Rated banana shakes now with 1 banana, 4 scoops of ice cream and an ice block, is there much fat and sugar in that?
 
Woah, you put ice cream in your whey? I can guarantee you will get fat like that. If you must , mix it with some skim milk.

Can you get fat on protein shakes alone without diet, sure you can if your calorie intake is above and beyond your maintenance level.

Theres a ton of sugar in ice cream.

I guess the question I want to ask is, why are you taking protein if your not exercising? Its a waste of money.
 
yes, you'll definitely get fat on that diet. 4 scoops of ice cream? c'mon. as was stated above, if you're not exercising there's no reason to be taking protein shakes.
 
4 scoops of ice cream is like two servings.

and any excess of calories, fat , protein or carbs, will make you fat.
 
I am exercising!, i've been at the local gym for 3 months and train for basketball 7 days a week. Where did i say im not exercising?. I just wanted to know for precausionary reasons. Eg: If i got injured and couldnt play basketball for a certain amount of time and continued to have my shakes would i gain fat. I've just made my high school team and coach suggested that shake.
 
if your on a diet, i reccomend you stop putting the ice cream in your shakes, and stop eating ice cream all together. and if your not on a diet, 4 scoops isnt a good idea either way. eaten in moderation may be ok. but i wouldnt.
