How many lbs or protein do you buy/purchase? A months supply? 3? 6?

[juggernaut2005]

i just bought 3 5lbs (2 ON and 1 Champ nutrition) jars but seeing these bad boys last for years, I'm thinking of buy 5 more 5lb jars so I can have 40lbs of protein powders for atleast a few months.

What are your buying habits???

**I made a typo on the title. Should be "How many lbs OF protein. . . . "***y

 

[freEQnasty]

I usually bulk up at once and use til it's gone. I buy 25 lbs of whey blend and 25 lbs of super mass 600 at a time, thats about $190. Lasts pretty long haven't timed but id say prob like 4-6 months.

 

[Phred]

I ususally by 20-25 lbs in bulk. And I go thru about 5 lbs per month

 

[norcalsupps]

Thats not a bad pace at all. It really depends on the serving size and how many protein grams you get per serving. The standard size 20-30 grams per serving would be about lasting a month, but high protein 40-55 grams could only last a few short weeks.

 

[emitecaps]

I only use 5lbs of protein a month, if that. I like to get most of my protein from food and use shakes when I need quick absorption or don't have the time to prepare food.

 

[MCx2]

Once a month, 5lbs a go.

Same here. 5lbs of ON whey will last me about a month and I restock accordingly.

 

[juggernaut]

20lbs lasts about a month.

 

[juggernaut2005]

20lbs lasts about a month.

20lbs of protein powder lasts you for 1month???

 

[juggernaut]

maybe five weeks. TOPS.
I usually take in approx 315g a day. Not only of whey, but whole food of course.

Currently 220. I'm dieting down for a show. Low carb so I keep the protein high.

 

[Phred]

20lbs lasts about a month.

That is around 250 gr of protein per day just in whey.

uhhh junior, you need to read a little further; I said I use whey, but I also get most of my protein from whole food sources. Now, where the hell did I say any of what you just spoke?!

well thats what 20lbs of whey/month comes out to

 

[kinkery]

2-3lbs a month. i take in 280-300g protein aday. about 60 from whey aday.

Well I used math. You indicated that you go thru 20 lbs per month. So - 80 servings per 5lbs, 23 gr per serving is 1840grs (for 5lbs or whey). Times 4 (20lbs divided by 5lbs) is 7360grs of protien for 20lbs of whey. 7360grs divided by 30 days is 245.3gr per day of protien from whey. I rounded up and said almost 250grs. So you get 78% of your daily protien from whey (245/315). In other words, you get 22% of your protien from solid food.

Now I am going out on a limb here and assuming that your statements are true - that you go thru 20lbs of whey per month and you consume 315gr of protien per day. Do you want to revise your statements? Are my assumptions incorrect?

So you wasted all that time on mathematical equations? Wow. You seriously need a life. 49 years old and you are trying to match wits with an idiot like me?
Now, I'm going out on a limb here, but your dog is ugly-did someone kick it in its snout? It might be the ugliest fucking thing i ever saw.

I usually go through about 5 lbs in 4-6 weeks - of whey.

 

[BigDyl]

Busted!

Right now I get my protein 100% from what I eat. Though I am thiking about adding in a whey shake post workout. I'll be getting it from True Protein, when I do get it. They have a great rep and seem to be a good company with a dynamite product.

I was going to order 5lb at first and see how long it lasts.

 

[vortrit]

I buy about 2 -5lbs every two months. I keep one at work and one at home.
