Good lookin out man...the exceptions I can think of:

1) If you hunt (Branch Warren style

) or
2) If you are friends with the local butcher (note to self)

x2.. i asked advice on my diet one time and got nothing but a bashing.. but its virtually impossible to get all your meals in while living in the dorms.. eggs in the microwave and tuna(just like guy above me) are a way of life... plus i buy those bags of pre-cooked grilled chicken and beef.. but hell im trying to pay for school and those can get really expensive so i have to have 3 shakes a day!

I'm currently on the Palumbo Diet and I drink 3 everyday each with a tablespoon of peanut butter in between my 3 meals. Been working great lost 24lbs so far

Defenetly most of the time protein powders/gainers are going to be alot better for you than university food lol, i wish some girls used protein (anti-freshman 15)

And to that other guy with the money comment, yea of course powder is going to be cheaper. im just saying people who eat 3oz of chicken breast instead of a scoop of protein however many times a day will see better results...
But than once u start getting into the higher quality proteins (time released 6 blend **** etc) the price is pretty even, but i mean i would rather have eggs befor bed over time released protein any day

referring to those oatmeal bars.. is there anything wrong with those as compared to just a bowl of oats? the reason i ask is, we have football workouts at 5:00 am and at the beginning of the semester it was real easy to get up in time to eat and chug down a shake before workout but its getting harder and harder plus sometime the microwaves don't work that early in the morning so i was real curious about those bars...

quaker oatmeal 2 go bars i believe theyre called, apple and the cinnimin are my favorite.
theyre very tasty and easy way of getting good slow digesting carbs in the morning, a little bit of sugar but nothing crazy. put back 1 or 2 of those (not sure how big you are) and a protein shake and you should be lovin football practice lol.

I usually have one whey shake post workout and a gainer shake before I go to bed. I might cut back to just one whey shake because I get a lot of protein from my food and so I can afford a nice CL stack.

**Death Head** · 03-03-2009, 04:46 PM

always one pwo for sure and maybe 1 more.

**musclepeak88** · 03-03-2009, 04:59 PM

6 scoops of whey and one casein. 3 scoops as part of a home made weight gain, 3 post workout and 1 casein beofre bed.

**Derly** · 03-03-2009, 05:05 PM

Post-workout and also before bed.

I take whey shake post-workout, and before bed take a homemade weightgainer or slow absorbing protein.

**Money Shot** · 03-03-2009, 05:06 PM

i have a lot actually just to make sure i get close to 50g of protein per day. so if im getting 30g in a food meal, i might do 3/4 of a scoop. all in all i take about 4 scoops daily

**Autino** · 03-03-2009, 05:21 PM

Non Workout Days
1 when I wake up - 2 scoops whey
1 Before I go to bed - 1 scoop whey, 2 scoops casien

Workout Days
1 when I wake up - 2 scoops whey
1 Post Workout - 2scoops whey, 2 sccops waxy maize
1 Before I go to bed - 1 scoop whey, 2 scoops casien

Otherwise I try to eat whole meals as much as I can

**Rhynosaurus** · 03-03-2009, 05:42 PM

Usually just two. One pwo, and one at the office between meals.
On Sundays (no weights, no cardio - total off day), I usually dont have any.

But I also mix a scoop of vanilla whey in my oatmeal every morning, so if you count that as a "skake" then three.

**Kyle.Lgk** · 03-03-2009, 05:54 PM

1 Scoop of Whey 1st thing when I wake up
2 Scoops of Cytogainer Pre-Workout
3 Scoops of Torrent PWO
1 Scoop of Casein before bed

**mwolfeass39** · 03-03-2009, 06:23 PM

0-2 depending on the availability of food. I have a scoop of whey in the morning with my oats...so not exactly a "shake" persay. Occasionally I will mix up a shake PWO if I dont have a homemade protein bar or something like that on me. Sometimes I make a casein shake at night, but not as often as I used to.

**mofos** · 03-03-2009, 06:53 PM

just 1 scope of 40g PWO, i would love to take 1 more during the day, but i dun think i need it since the diet is good, plus if your diet is good, that 1 shake you will store it as fat, piss it out or **** it out, is like pissing out money... lol

**Money Shot** · 03-03-2009, 06:57 PM

i think people give protein shakes a bad rep around here. i think taking half scoops here and there with regular food meals helps reach protein macros much easier

lol what? 40g PWO is more then most people take... and taking 1 in the morning with breakfast is a good way to get fast easy protein after an 8 hour fast... casein shake is good to take before bed... ur not gonna "store, piss or ****" it if it fits your daily protein needs
