[rummyroyal]

hi

so im just wondering anyone here on the forums who dont take any protein powder or anything like that but still managed to bulk up and build muscle.

because i dont plan on buying any, not any time soon.

cheers

Over course its possible.. Get your chit from meats.
Protein powder is a SUPPLEMENT use it if you cant hit your macros on food alone.

Saying that, you can't make sludge with chicken..

[silverlux]

yes of course you can as long as you have protein from a variety of foods.
although I would like to bring to your attention that whey protein has the best amino-acid profile vs. any whole food and is the most inexpensive in terms of cost per serving

[bobthebuilder7]

protein power is used for ease of use.

just because u take it isnt going to make you stronger then others that dont

[AvgJoe1]

250g of skinless boneless chicken breast has more protein than most protein shakes.

[Cegooow]

I'm about to find out, bought the fruit punch ON Whey protein, **** is ****ing disgusting !! I can't drink this pos every day, I almost puke everytime

[blakus_javus]

Of course is is possible.

Many people use it because it is just convenient & if you buy unflavoured, no additives stuff then it has basically no cals except protein.

Without it you'll just have to eat more steak, chicken, eggs etc & have less cals left over for other things.

i dont take any protein supplements. i only have a multi.

[rummyroyal]

between 0.7g and 1.2g per lbs is optimum for your weight

between 0.7g and 1.2g per lbs is optimum for your weight

so im 154 pounds. i should eat around 154pounds of protein?

[rummyroyal]

also what about creatin?

[Ronnie87]

The fact you made this thread would indicate you haven't learned the basics of nutrition when it comes to bodybuilding. Go read the nutrition stickies

[nm1891]

also what about creatin?

Protein powder and creatine can only help you, so if you are serious I would invest in them. Are they miracle products? No, but every little bit helps and you could get both for like 50 bucks, dont see why you wouldnt.

[silverlux]

I'm afraid that if you tried to eat 154 pounds of protein you would die before reaching the 5'th pound.

Creatine is good for you, take 5g a day, everyday

[boroballa0515]

Dammit I Lol'd hard as fuk! GRAMS per lb of body weight bro lol u would definitely see massive gains from 154 lbs of protonz a day tho haha

[naturalKnox4]

havent bought protein powder in years.

[0p3rator]

of course, that's why it's called a supplement and not a requirement. I dropped the shakes due to cost and substituted 4 eggs in the morning in it's place. If anything, my strength gains went up. Get your protons from food whenever you can.

[Kard]

ice1cube on youtube doesn't take any protein powder. He just eats a lot.

[Ecobb]

I very rarely have protein shakes(1-2 per week)


Whole food protein source> supplement protein source

[Doomster23]

Creatine is good for you, take 5g a day, everyday

He's gotta stay natty for a while man.

Why would you buy a Fruit Punch flavored Milk Shake? Why not chocolate or vanilla or banana? Your choice leads me to believe you are not a good chooser.

[Margzz]

If I can find a cost effective solution I'm going to ditch protein shakes altogether

Imo they're overpriced as fuark in the U.K

[sd3]

one my best mates does, but he says its only possible because hes balling and can afford to eat a sh*t ton of meat and food everyday, his food shopping bill is stupidly expensive.

the only supps i take are

whey
creatine
fish oil
multi vitamin

[Tibbay]

real food > supplements

erry time

[scoveg13]

Currently cycling different protein powder brands, don't want my body to adapt to it, ya no?

5 eggs is around 30g of protein and only run $1.50/12 over here

[oskarhul09]

protein is protein is protein

[rummyroyal]
