Wow guys, thanks for all the great information. My goal is to tone up and I am also okay with losing about 10-12lbs of muscle in the process.

1st question is, by taking all these protein shakes throughout the day, is that to maintain muscles or is it to help tone up. If it is to maintain muscle, then I may need to lose calories in other areas. If it is to tone up, then I need to go into calorie deficit, which requires more cardio?

I've been doing this workout for the past 6 months. It was more of a long bulking season. I also run right after a workout. Is there any negative effects of doing so?

Once again, thanks for all the advice.

The protein shakes are just a quick way to put nutrients into your body. If you don't eat every 3 hrs (some say 2 some say 4 ) then your body with go into catabolic state. You will lose weight, but you will not tone up.(meaning your body will eat it's own muscle not it's fat) You need to feed your muscles to lose weight a healthy way.

This dosen't mean you are going to bulk up, just because your adding protein shakes to your diet. If you didn't have the protein shakes then I would suggest you eat real food in place of them, which can be expensive, and time consuming..
