eating at work
usually i pack a good lunch but today for a number of reasons (woke up late, need to go shopping, etc) i am without my solid foods that normally get my protein from.
for breakfast i did a MRP shake 40-p 20-c 0-f, banana, flax oil pill
right now i am doing 2 scoops of whey, 1 cup of skim/rest water, spinach, and a sweet potato all in the blender...kidding, each served seperately.
i guess what i am asking is if it is alright to get through a day with the majority of your protein via a powder? I have plenty of of sweet potaoes, brown rice, and greens along with my whey, but no chicken, tuna, ground beef or turkey like usual.
i don't usually leave the building during lunch but if i can sneak out would it be better to go pick up some grilled chicken?
thanks y'all!
p.s. >>>>bulking

nothing wrong with using protein supplements as a staple for protein. NASA has spent millions doing research on that. the only thing that using whey protein supplements will do is short change you on the various amino acid profiles provided by the various whole food protein choices.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

NASA or no NASA, real food's probably better in the long run. However, it's one day. It's not gonna kill you. Drink up.

I always keep some beef jerky in my desk, it lasts forever. Yeah I know the sodium's high but it's good for days when I didn't pack enough food.

you can make your own protein bars, that way you can get exact measurements.
other ideas- i like making my own sf oatmeal cookies , for the carbs, can always use hard boiled eggs for protein, throw out the yolks if you want. as for fats, well, your pretty much stuck with carrying around a containter of oil, unless your not opposed to eating PB not stop.
