Hi,

You may want to try a digestive enzyme or an isolate.

On training days, four (1 before 1 after, 2 meal replacements) on non training days 2 meal replacements. Although everyone knows whole food is best, MRP are extremely convienient especially for those who are always on the go (myself included).

Hi,

Getting all your protein from food may not be possible, and may be detracting. At the very least, experiment with doing a protein supplement in different amounts to see the effect.

Protein supplements function differently than protein in food. Also, a protein supplement is much higher in quality than protein in food.

To compare the cost of a protein supplement to food, see http://www.allthewhey.com/compare.html ; the 3rd table.

3. 50g whey mid morning, 50g post workout/evening, and 50g casien before bed. Its alot easier/cheaper to get my daily needs met with shakes included then if I tried a foods only diet.

A 113g (4oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast only has about 24g of protein. Although, I think that most chicken breasts nowadays are bigger than 4oz.

Many people are surprised to find out that chicken is roughly 75% water.

off cycle i do 3,........on bulker 6.(3protein shakes,3mass shakes)

 

[Gel]

I have 2 shakes a day......1 am then 1 post workout.

But these shakes have 5 shakes worth of powder in each (115g protein per shake)

I eat Tuna and oatmeal which gives an extra 100g protein at least, the tuna I have last thing at night to tide me over till the morning.
