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.

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.**Swole Sports Nutrition Representative**

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.

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.

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.
