You serious about the 1gram: 1lbs thing? :eek3:

I'm not going to take 242grams of protein, I am taking one scoop (22grams) afer my workout, then once on my off days. h:

I'm trying to bulk up, I hate being petite :sad:

 

i say that its more like 1g per 1lb of lean mass. maybe a lil more than that.

 

this is 5 lbs of protein you got here

~2275 grams

2275 / 170 (my weight) = 13.4 days if you consume your 1g = 1lb per day theory :eek3:

that dont sound right :thinking:

i can only afford one scoop AFTER i workout h:

 

imma go have a shake right now.

 

umm...u forgot to calculate how much protein you will get through EATING

besides, the max dosage is 4 shakes a day for that particular brand

 

Exactly. Ideally, you'd want to be keeping track of your food intake throughout the day. I admittedly don't but I know I will eventually.

Whey protein isn't all that expensive if you get it from one of these online sources. This is especially true considering that we're all on an automotive site.

If you want, you can have an apple and cottage cheese before bed. This might actually be more expensive than a whey shake but some people theorize that casein is absorbed slower than whey which should supposedly be better since you'll be asleep for a long time. Others say it's better to just wake up in the middle of the night and have another whey shake (prepared) and go back to sleep.

disclaimer: I'm a noob so listen to the others and do your own research as well. There's a wealth of info out there. I'm only starting on my 3rd week after being off for 3 months (though I have seen improvements) so check with me after 3 months...

 

I take protein shakes. I think they work.

 

mr. universe :eek3: :bowdown:

 

when i grow up to be an adult, i want to be like this guy^^

 

I can wait until SOI is over so I can start really watching my diet and working out like I want to again.

I'mma get big again, but stay lean. I already plan on a cocktail of supplements
