EU+US Protein Shakes Questionnaire

ITT: people with enough time to consistently cook chicken, sea chicken, and various other meats. Yall saying you have no days where you don't want to use the quick option to get on with your day?
 
You don't need shakes. Just be on the correct meal plan.
Most shakes are a marketing ploy similar "sports drinks". At one time they used to be good.
Besides, a gaming forum probably is not the best place to get advice for such things. You would get more answers and from people with more experience.
There are a plethora of nutrition and weight gain websites out there! Just stay away from the commercial ones. They will just try and sell you something.

Good luck!!

There are actually so many healthy eaters around here that it makes me feel like I need to do better about that.
 
It all depends how you look at it. Yes you have all the food necessary to not need protein powder. BUT most the time protein powder is needed because there are times where you don't have the time, nor in the right place to eat food.

Example: You just finish a gym work out and it takes 30 mins to get back home, then another 30 mins to cook food up unless its already preped. If you're looking to gain muscle, its important to get protein in you're body ASAP after workout to initially feed you're muscles until you're able to eat the proper protein/carbs you need. If you don't get the protein in you're body before 30 mins after workout, you're not gaining maximum potential of muscle growth.

Personally i take a low carb Protein called: GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATES. I take it with water to hasten the protein absorption. If you still need milk and other carbs, you can always have that later on. I usually have milk sometimes before i go to bed, not all the time though. (Everything in reasonable moderation) - You want to aim for at least 0.3/0.4 grams of protein per kilo. Example 75kg = 25-30 grams of protein per serve. To know how many scoops you need, you need to look at how much protein you're protein powder serves per scoop.

I could get into it allot more but i don't know you're frame/height/body weight and i don't know what goals you're going for.

It depends what you're looking for though. If you're looking to bulk, then get a protein powder with carbs.

Side Note: Stakes are a great food source for supporting muscle growth and many other things it assists in general. But only eat 1 big steak every 3 days. Any more then that and you can have very very long term affects with you're stomach and bowls. Not always the case but it's one sure way to help keep you're body's digestive system healthy.

I know this is vague information, but if you want to know more. Just send me a PM and i can help you with any questions you may have. :)

broscience is strong with this one, what you need right after a workout are carbs to get an insulinpeak (eat 1-2 bananas or something like that), then just eat a big normal meal at home.
 
It's buy one get one at a local cheeseburger joint today. So I'll be spending ten dollars and getting my protein from two cheeseburgers and a medium fries.
 
try the GNC Amplified mass if your bulking up, i really saw great results with it combined with muscle tech creatine. pretty cheap.
the amp mass has like 70 scoops, and the creatine says it has 80 +20 extra for free, but it seems like it has 10x that. i gave my friend like 20 scoops and i did the first 3 days like 12 scoops total or smth, and still using since 2 months. got like 25 scoops left.

ATM im just taking the creatine, and thinking of getting some whey. i would advise to get the gold standard one. as someone stated above, its a reliable trustworthy company. also try getting 75% of your protein intake from real foods, imo. dont stick to chicken breasts only. try to change up since each different food has different amino acids. lean red meat has a decent amount of creatine. but you will need like 9999 steaks to get your daily requirement of creatine.
i must work with a supplement company, im a good advertiser...
