    Protein source

    My source of protein are boiled eggs and whey shakes. Good idea or I need some change?

    My whey intake is around 120 grams of protein.
    My boiled egg intake is 2 a day (28 grams).

    Also, I hear that whey shakes are basically processed fast food according to another reply I read earlier. True or bull?

    How much do you weigh? I ask because that will largely determine your protein requirement.

    Also, while whey protein powders are just processed fast food, that does not mean you can't consume them yet have a good diet.

    However, if your diet is so acutely deficient in protein that you would need to consume that much whey protein powder to reach sufficiency, it implies your diet is astonishingly poor.

    Not too sure myself. From what I understand whey is a fast digesting protein, so you might want to add in some more slow digesting proteins throughout the day, specifically before you sleep you might want to try some casein.

    Please disregard this nonsense.

    OP, here's the answer and my opinion:

    - Yes, Whey protein or any powdered form of protein is simply fast food which is highly processed (look at the ingredients), but it is also an easy source of protein
    - I prefer eating real whole food instead of chugging a protein shake that doesn't taste like a good ol' steak, or ribs, or salmon sashimi, or oh god I'm hungry now

    If you're trying to put on weight than eat beef and streak.

    If you're trying to lose some weight while still getting lots of protein eat chicken breasts.

    Those foods are loaded in protein.

    I presume you're joking, right?

    Net energy efflux from adipocytes is governed by the lesser sum of de novo lipogenesis and re-esterification compared to lipolysis. What does this mean?

    Well, it means that means energy balance is the governor, not the names of the foods you eat.

    Whatever works for who ever, if someone needs a kick start and if they can get that with a supplement, then why not.

    If someone is eating sufficient protein in whole foods and his/her budget is not affected, it is better instead of feeding money to the rich already.

    Alright man, but what about people who can't find the time to cook and eat "sufficient" protein? You've never taken any supps in your life?

    Then I tell them to visit excuse-land.

    Sammich is easy to make, and ppl can buy ham or roast beef.

    Living with parents? Nicely ask your parents to buy some source of protein and pack it for school/work.

    I take multi-v's, fish oils and preworkout.

    Not against supplements if I know they're good and works.

    The "can't find time" excuse is just that... An excuse. I have 2 jobs, go to the gym 4-5 times a week, spend almost every weekend riding enduros or just trail riding, and most of my time off during the week playing mechanic, and yet I manage to find time to cook delicious meals and not take in a single drop of supplements outside of vitamin D.

    Wake up earlier or go to sleep later. Spend less time in front of the tv/computer. Prioritize.

    I think the bottom line is you should try and get the majority of your protein from whole food sources rather than pounding 4+ protein shakes a day. Protein powders should be supplemental to your diet......

    Eggs are a good source but do you not eat any meat?

    I consider fish in the meat category.... fish is great, especially ones providing healthy fats such as salmon, sardines, mussles. Just dont eat too much tuna or fish that is high in mercury. I limit myself to one can of tuna a week.

    I do eat meat but it's not significant enough most of the time. Steak and chicken would be a good idea wouldn't it?

    Some ideas for you, greek yogurt has 16g of protein per 200g for a total of 100 calories. 1 cup of oatmeal mixed with 1 cup of milk = 21g for 440 calories. Whole wheat bread has 8g of protein per two slices. Kashi Crunch cereals have 13g of protein per serving for a total of 200 calories, mixed with milk you'll get over 20g.
