why do some ppl take protein so blindly ? (srs)

[Swolebraahh]

let me start off by saying i also take protein, but only on days that i know i missed a meal or didnt get enough protein for whatever reason.


realistically with a half decent diet you should have absolutely no trouble getting the protein you need.

I always hear about these ppl that drink protein everyday because they want to gain weight, where as eating tuna/eggs/chicken/red meat would be fcukin perfect.

your just wasting your mons bros

Agreed. With my diet I take in 150-160grams of protein easily in a day... and that's pretty close to my lbm

[mikeyfitness]

people take shakes every day because after there work outs because it absorbs faster than whole food

[TeenageBuilder]

it's for postworkout usually, or sometimes you don't have enough time to make food.

[JonnyNUFC87]

Haven't taken any protein shake in about 2 months and have noticed zero difference in my results.

[fitnessbyjay]

Because I don't wanna eat chicken with my cereal post workout.

[PanzerMK1]

Definitely agree. I have had a 5lb tub of vanilla Myofusion for a couple months now. Hardly use it. Much more satisfying to eat actual food. When I do use it I put a scoop of it in my oatmeal with blueberries and dark chocolate almond butter.

[rahulpaley]

Simply uneducated. I have couple of mates who do similar stuff. Their understanding of BB is that the more protein you ingest, the bigger you will get lol. They don't understand that you also need carbs, fat, and other micronutrients lulz.

man i take a can of tuna with me in a container and i eat that after my workout. lol

but ya i guess if your not home for a long time between your gym time and leaving the house you kinda need a shake.

fair enough

[Whiteboii3000]

after workout... on the go... when i just need a few extra calories with my meal.

[RC2008]

I use whey simply because it's a cheap source of protein, and a very good source of caloric intake. I buy from a cheap source, too. If I was not lifting, I'd probably still use whey protein. At the end of the day, it's food (calories), but in liquid form.

Exactly.

Whey, plus an oat bar, plus a hand ful of nuts like cashews (20-30) and you easily have over 600 calories with you on a plane ride.

[mmaoz]

for me it's convenient to have if i've ran out of meat or something like that. other then that i agree, also for some reason i feel much better if i'm drinking less shakes and more whole food aswell.

its true? lmao the shakes absorb faster into your body because it doesnt have to break it down and goes into your muscles faster for repair which with food it has to digest it and break it down...you mad im in school for dis ish? ya u mad

but cant u just eat a meal with high protein instead bro ?

why does it matter how long it takes to absorb? pls don't say 'anabolic window'

[TheBarbellTolls]

Cost efficient and convenient.

[Wavegod]

Fool I'm cutting and don't like the bloat from eating too much right now. A shake tastes good and gets the job done

[Captain22]

I buy whey because it's cheaper than whole foods for the same amount of protein, that said, I never have more than say 3 shakes a day on a workout day.

[ExEctomorph]

I have protein post workout only. It's liquid and pre-digested so it has a higher rate of absorption.

Also protein powders are CHEAPER! I dunno where everybody gets the idea that protein powder is more expensive. Calculate how much each gram of protein is from protein powder compared to that of chicken, beef, eggs, tuna or whatever. Protein is the cheaper alternative.

But if you're relying on shakes. Gl.

[mikeyfitness]

you have 1/2-1 to get it in for repair...its not broscience its stated facts.. lol

[TheKoiCarp]

shakes are purely for ease

ofc the uneducated will abuse them

[cyde]

Protein supplements are cheap, convenient, and portable at room temp. Gram for gram, whey is one of the cheapest sources of protein. Strong wasting of money. With this said I rather eat whole foods, but I do like the convenience of a protein shake or protein smoothie.

[Acesopro]

Either it's for my post-workout or I'm just too ****ing lazy to make another big meal.

ppl like you actually exist ?

[SupahBrah]

I buy unflavoured protein for the following reasons:

Cheapest source of protein
Easy to down
I don't dislike the taste

[OhioStateBucki]

I agree, it's not hard to get protein in through food.

But the people you mentioned drinking them to gain weight aren't terribly off. Some people have trouble downing tons of food on a bulk so it becomes easier to eat as much as possible and then fill in the rest of your bulking cals through liquid such as protein/weight gainer shakes.

[RC2008]

but cant u just eat a meal with high protein instead bro ?

No, because that is more time consuming. Whey is a fast, cheap and easy way to consume calories in form of protein.

lolololololololol not sure if srs?

23 years old and smaller than me, yes srs...u keep doin it your way slim and ill keep doin it mine ;]
