protein pills?

[mabusincarnate]

has anyone made pills out of their protein powder? it would be a lot easier for me to take a few pills every 30 minutes while i'm sitting at my desk. making a protein shake while sitting in a cubicle is a pain in the ass. i can get empty gel caps from vitamin shoppe real cheap.

I would never have the patience to do that.

Mix up a shake before you go to work and sip it throughout the day, or invest in some decent protein bars.

That isn't practical bro. You'd have to swallow about 50 big caps to get the equivalent of a shake or meal.

i eat a few clif bars throughout the day but they only have 11 grams of protein.

Drinking a shake should be easier than swallowing 30 pills in 5 minutes.

that would be completely pointless. a cap could hold maybe a gram of protein, so youre looking at swallowing 30+ caps at a time. the most retarded aspect of this idea would be actually capping the stuff...filling 30+ caps for each serving isnt my idea of a good time.

Just throw some protein powder (along with ground oatmeal, ground flax seeds, whatever) in a shaker, dump some water from your water bottle into it when you need to, and drink.

just a question.. wasn't there injectable proteins at some time ?

 

[Suareezay]

What about the water needed for absorption?

You would need to take an ass load of caps at a time to get what you need.

It's just not practical. Look at BCAA caps. You have to take 20 at a time to get what you want from them....no less than preWO and PWO. By the time you choke down all those caps, you could have pounded a shake.

you could waste your time, get protein powder, get a pill maker and make them.... but do you know how many pills youd have to swallow to get say.... 25mg of protein? maybe about 40-60 pills... why not just drink it?

point taken. it was an idea. obviously a bad one.

i'll hide some stuff in the kitchen at work to make some shakes and smoothies.

thanks for the answers.
