OT: How much protein do you go through a month?!?

[sawastea]

I just placed a rather large order for whey and blends ($230). This will probably last me a month and a half to two months. No additional supplements were in this order. Am I the only one dropping ludicrous amounts of $$$ on protein powder? This isn't even my main source of protein, rather 1/3 of it :eek: :o

My weekly trips to Costco/BJ's run about $120.

75 bucks Canadian a month....but ALOT more than that on food (I spend about $150 a week on groceries)

:eek: lol I usually go through about a 5 pound tub a month. Right now I got 4, 5 pound tubs working but if I only had one I'd probably end up spending about 50 a month on protein. What kind of protein did you buy and how many scoops do you take daily???

[Sixpack]

Usually about 6 pounds of a blend per month for sure (ultra peptide and another 5 pounds of isolate lol its cheaper then chicken but oh well what do u do if ya have a busy schedule lol. What blend did u order saw?

[DevilSmack]

10 lbs a month, cost me $125. It's crazy, I love meat, but can't eat enough so I use mostly ProPeptide/MuscleMilk.

[gotilgone]

i'm a frugal student so spend 34.88 on ON whey 5lbs which lasts me a lil over a month... :( i wish that stuff grew on trees

[Graphite]

5lbs last me about a month but So I spend around 25$ for a 5lb tub a month.. not bad.. I also eat lots of red meat, fish, and chicken breast. I mainly just use my whey first thing in the morning and sometimes during the day and on training days I use it pwo.

[chlaxman]

i go through about 6 pounds a month (i usually have a 5 lb blend and 2 lbs isolate). i'm trying to switch out some protein shakes for tuna and chicken but it can get tough.

[bachovas]

7-9lbs of WPC per month, as a staple.
When I can, 2 canisters of Ultra Peptide.

Just for powders.

Would run at about 90$.

[SideBurns]

damn man thats aot of money for protein?
how many shakes do u take a day?
i use one 5 pound tub of prolab that lasts me a month and a half.
my protein comes from real food.
a shake before bed and one after my workout is all i use.

grocery wise i spend 50 bucks a week, gotta love sams club.

[NaveedK]

there was a time where i spend about 15lb whey per MONTH. that only last about one month. lol.

now i buy one 5lb tub every FOUR MONTHS. I buy ON Whey. Just one scoops post workout. I suggest you guys do the same. As for protein, instead of whey, i eat lots of meat.

do you guys know about Jack Mackerel. go to grocery store..look for it..its only like 70 cents per can..each can has about 69g of protein...plus i has omega 3 fatty acids...


also, drink more milk..not too much..but one cup about 4 times a day...in the morning, instead of whey, fix some eggs...again at your grocery store, you can find those egg white containers...NOT EGG BEATERS...just egg whites...they are good. it will save you on whey.

[Matt96teg]

Not sure about money but anywhere between 10-20lbs is how much I consume.

[psycho66]

im not to0o much of a powder i enjoy cooking and eatin real foods.....i only go through 5lbs a month or soo

[50joe]

WOW
i could never use that much protein powder in a month!!!

I usually make a 5lb isolate good for a month and a half

its cheaper for me to eat the real food the rest of the time, and probably better ;)

[sawastea]

I honestly don't know how it goes by so fast...

2 scoops WPI/WPC breakfast, 1 scoop WPI/WPC pre-workout, 2 scoops WPI post-workout, 2 scoops blend at bedtime. If I'm tied up, I'll have 2 more scoops of a blend during the day. At least 7 scoops per day, sometimes more :(

[Iron Draggin]

I tend to go through about 3-4lbs of isolate a month, and another 4-6 lbs of custom mix. Of course that still only:

wpi $6/lbs = $25 (roughly)
Blend $11/lbs $55 (roughly)

$80 total

That will last me between 4-6 weeks.

[Kovalchuk]

2x 5lbs. Cytosport 100% Whey $65.00 Can.

3x 2lbs. Dorian Yates Approved Propeptide $110.00 Can.

$175.00 Can. will get me through a month, which is kinda sad considering i getta sweet deal on supps. Better than spending it on booze though :)

[Sixpack]

Saw what did u order for 230 bro ? What brands etc, how the hell have u been?

[Boxing11]

5lbs of ON whey and 2.48lbs of MM in a month and a half. Thats less than $50.00

[D-Termine]

my family goes through a 10lbs'r about twice a month

[DevilSmack]

In the last 3 days I have almost drank an entire container of Muscle Milk, which is really stupid. When I don't have much of an apatite for grilled chicken breast, tuna, turkey, or even beef, I tend to use MRP's or protein powders as a crutch.

[arlowf]

I go through about three lbs a week of whey protein. That's about 150 dollars a month.

[Slated]

oats?

[uhockey]

oats?

LOL! About 5/6 big can a week. :)

[Joel]

3-4 MRPS per day

$300 plus a month , but it replaces food

[sawastea]

oats?

Nice bump, assclown...

[391rippy]

about every 5 weeks i spend $100 at TP for MRPs. i only use whey for postworkout, so 5 pounds lasts me quite a while.

[ForceLineBacker]

I feel your pain, I go throguh about $120 dollars a month, and that's only my whey. Not my casein or MRP protein.

[strawser9]

can anyone actually eat their oats??? i can't unless i throw them in my shake...they taste like ASS, pretty much the same flavor as cottage cheese!

[GeordieArtois]

11lbs of wpc, give or take.

[Fuerza_M]

Right now, 4 pounds a mix of Milk/Egg protein and 2 pounds WPI for a month

[NumberTwentyTwo]

Heres what I go through every 3 months

mix- Dymatize Elite Berry Blast $26 for 77 servings
mix- Ultimate Nutrition ProStar Whey Raspberry $29 for 75 servings
isolate- Ultimate Nutrition IsoCool $36 for 87 servings

So thats like 30 bux a month for 80 servings a month

Or

1 dollar a day for 2.75 servings a day

[Mr. Aries]

i dont' know how much but i drink a ****load of

BSN LEAN DESSERT
SYNTRAX NECTAR
PRIMAFORCE SUBSTANCE WPI

[OneBetter]

per month, i go through usually one tub of:

xtreme formulations ultra peptide - 2lbs
ergopharm GF-Pro - 2lbs
and a good amount of bulk WPC

[cxm]

In a day
-2 scoops of I-Pro (pre-workout)
-2 scoops of I-Pro (postworkout)
-1 scoop of Ultra peptide with milk (bedtime shake)

In a month
6 days in a week, I take one day off protein supps
24 days a month
96 serving in a month of I-Pro (36 serving in a 2.2 container)
- 2.5+ jugs of I-Pro per month
24 servings of Ultra Peptide in a month
-Almost 1 jug of Ultra Peptide

Grand total in a month
$21.00 a month for ultra peptide
$21.00 X 2.5= $52.50 a month for I-pro

Total for both= $73.50 a month

[uhockey]

i dont' know how much but i drink a ****load of

BSN LEAN DESSERT
