Thread: protein amount

no supplement will help if you aren't eating right, but yes protein shakes will help.

so basically I'm just fighting a lost cause is what you're saying....glad I found this out before I went and bought a bunch of supplements

Try making quick snacks (boiled eggs, fruit, and hamburgers) the night before, put 'em in a ziplock bag. I fix meals sometimes for 2-3 days in advance. You gotta eat brother!!!

well no, not fighting a lost cause.. just make it a point to shove some food down. Pack your meals the night before. If you're serious about bulking, you have to be serious about your diet. Your body will not bulk up without food!

Supplements should follow a well-planned out diet.

I'm following ya maybe I'll have to do some research per say on some quick foods that are deceant... thanks again

I'd look into MRP's (meal replacement powders). They basically contain the nutritional value of a meal, but they are very quick to make. You can find them for between $1 to $1.50 per meal, and that's pretty cheap for a meal, right?

This is what I did one summer when I worked a 8-5 desk job:
Ate breakfast at 7:00
Ate lunch at 12:00
Had a MRP at 3:00 or 4:00
Had dinner at 6:00

That's not a bad spread of meals (about 3-4 hours between on average)

Just buy a shaker cup and take some milk with you. Put it in the office refrigerator, or brink an Igloo if they don't have one. Then when you want to eat, put the powder in the shaker cup and shake it up. It takes 15 minutes to make and down that stuff. If your boss gets mad, tell him you can count this as your "smoke break." (Hey, if smokers get 15 minutes, BB's should)

I like Lean Body by Labrada because it tastes great. I'm sure there are lots of others that are also good. Search the forums and you'll find some recs.
