I am not saying its not possible for it to make people gain weight as they workout but it wont make me fat will it lol?

No the drink itself will not make you fat. Weight gain occurs when calories taken in > calories lost/burned.

I drink whey shakes during my off days too! If you don't workout though, that's still ok. You'll gain weight when you eat tons of food not just by drinking shakes without a workout. Everyone needs protein so this is a good source! However, it will be a waste when you drink a lot of these and your body just doesn't need it that much.

it will make you fat. don't do that, drinking protein shakes without exercising is fairly unhealthy
