I don't have a plunger ! Member 2187, 334 posts SQ 155, BP 117.5, DL 190462.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Who here takes protein supplements? I'm gonna stop using protein for a while and see if it really does make any difference to my training/results etc. I eat a pretty balanced diet anyway with a decent amount of protein in it so it will be interesting to see what happens. I could do with saving the money too. | ||

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I use whey protein. Or rather whey and carbs powder as a meal or after training. Its cheap and convienant. | ||

This Isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things and will help you recover and have more frequent better sessions with increased progression Very basic tried and tested approach will work | ||

I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | I don't use any. I used to. Ran out. Never bought any. Now I have a dish washer and they're easier to keep clean maybe I should get some. I never feel the need to have any. Maybe if I started I'd make some mad gainz | ||

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts | As Iain says, it is cheap and convenient. Yeah, you're spending 35-40 quid in one go, but over time the equivalent amount of protein via eggs, chicken etc is going to cost more. But, it's still for around training and bed time. And lazy mornings and quick "meals" on the run. | ||

Uk limbo dancing champion Member 2666, 6551 posts SQ 202, BP 170, DL 255627.0 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | i usualy have 3 shakes a day, 1 mornin, 1 after workout, 1 b4 bed. its quick n easy to consume with a little appetite. the cost is about £7.50 a week, thats almost a £1 a day for 3 shakes containing 25g protein a serving. it probably costs me more for the milk to mix it with. | ||

How long have you guys been taking it? You only weigh 12.5 stone. Are you sure it's not going straight down the toilet? | ||

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts | Post Edited: 13.10.2011 @ 10:54 AM by IainT I'm only 5'7" Wayne, and I've been 14 stone, but didn't feel very well so dropped back. I'm actually about 13 odd stone. Untrained, I was 9 stone at university.I also have a medical condition that massively bumps up my calorie requirements, I was eating solid food like a loon and downing shakes to hold on to the 14st. | ||
