I have a 5lb tub on ON 100% whey. I take 1 scoop in the morning, 1 scoop to make a protein bar (eaten during the day), and 2 scoops post workout. Is this too much? I am also getting my protein from other foods as well. and bulking btw.

while eating a mostly ovo-lacto vegetarian diet (meaning I eat eggs and milk products), I supplement with 5 scoops of protein (whey/casein mix) per day, on top of my post workout nutrition, which is another 40g of whey protein.
It will depend on what your caloric needs are, what your protein requirements are, and what other foods you are eating, among other factors. 4 scoops isn't by any means out of the ordinary.
And I agree with the others, your metabolism is likely to be very high, so you should be eating more, that is if you want to gain some quality weight. Keep the calories coming from quality foods with the occasional cheat meal or dessert, lift heavy and intensely, and you should be just fine.Last edited by Macrobolic; 11-30-2009 at 07:00 PM.

Chicken doesn't have a very high calorie/good fat count, more for cutting bbuuuutt great for protein count.
What you can do is(what I do is), go to sam's/albertson's w/e and get the big bag of boneless chicken breast. Cook up 8-9 of them (whatever your pan can fit), and cook up some brown rice. Make each 2 chicken breast a different seasoning so it doesn't get boring, put a tbsp of olive oil on each breast for the healthy fats and g2g.
Slice that shiz up and put 2 chicken breast/as much brown rice as the small tupperware will hold, make 3 of these. Since it's winter time it makes things a bit easier as you can just keep the stuff in your car, if no access to a fridge. man up, eat it cold.
Also, lean ground beef... fry some up with taco seasoning/cheese and throw in a tupper ware... eat cold as needed.
Keep almonds (deluxe nut mix) with you at all times and if your budget allows the zero impact meal bars are GREAT. I'm basically a pro at eating on the fly as I'm moving in the field all day and rarely have access to anything but a truck/cooler.
anything you need lmk
edit: I just noticed age, i'm sure your parent's have sam's membership, their chicken breast is 12$ FOR 6LBS Of chicken man... that's 22g of protein per breast. You can beat that... it's cheaper than protein powder lol.***Traditional Wet Shaving Crew***

thanks
screw it.. if his metab. is anything like mine.. I might get visually fat (carbed up) for about a week, then it burns off and my weight stabilizes 1lb higher than it was....
In all honestly @ 125, playing football and being 16, you can eat whatever the hell you want, butter soaked potatoes, chicken wings, steak, bacon cheeseburgers with a shake etc etc
Your system can take in/burn A LOT of cals at this age... take advantage of this.***Traditional Wet Shaving Crew***
