Make sure to drink a lot of water and eat fiber, because this will make your shit rock hard.
I unironically use that brand except double rich chocolate, but food is always better. No I will not expand on why.
Bla bla amino acid bla bla
Same amount of protein as steak but not same quality protein
it’s unironcially better quality protein than steak
milk based = eggs > other (also unequal) protein sources
>zero nutrients
You need to digest protein for it to be usable for your body
If you get the shits and stomach feels weird after drinking it you are not digesting it very well
I feel better eating tuna/chicken/beef etc than I do drinking whey protein
>If you get the shits and stomach feels weird
Non white
>harder to not get diarrhea
I have chugged 100g of whey with half a gallon of milk on a cycle and I was fine
Non white problems
I am white and the brand of protein powder matters a lot. Gold standard is good but if you try many different brands like I have you will know that digestibility is an issue
Are you really white though
You are probably the most melanined moron in this forum.

Yes, I am, I'm a disgenic incel that has lifted for the past 3 years and never grew, so I am not posting anything, but in case you are lying, I'm calling you out on your bullshit.

protein powder is like injecting yourself with roids, there is a hidden health cost that will catch up to you one day
>Protein powder is like injecting yourself with roids,
Holy moron
alot of videos I've seen talk about how it's harder to not get diarrhea or keep it in your blood as long as steak. I just buy more meat and break it up over more meals and feel alot more energetic compared to if I do the same with shakes don't matter if it's whey, egg, plant mix. do 7 days doing one and 7 days eating an equal amount of meat in protein and see how you feel at the end of each day.
scoobs also said its just expensive trash and I trust scooby
Do you mix it will milk or water?
yogurt
Milk or Coffee
Water
who is this dude and why do i keep seeing crops of his face on this website
Alan Wuhu
Milk for bulking
Water for cutting, unless you're fricking moronic
Apple Cider Vinegar + Lemon + Cinnamon
4 tha abs
Egg whites
I mix it with eggwhites
>Fancy: Milk, Fruit, Yogurt
>Quicky: Water
water always tastes like shit, or maybe it was because I used room temp instead of cold water
Whey is the most solidly linked food product to acne. Chocolate is pretty solidly linked to acne as well. And so consuming chocolate flavored whey protein is probably giving a lot of guys acne.
Acne is something peiple with inferior genes get
If you have ever had it suicide is your best bet
I haven't had acne in 14 years
>acne
Literally only genetic waste gets these
Whole protein isolate is superior. Redcon fudge brownie is my only supplement.
Yea the hidden truth is that Gold Standard tastes like shit. Get a more expensive brand for a better flavor. I use iso100, same macros but way better flavors.
high levels of heavy metals
due to increased prices, not really cheaper than meat, and about twice as expensive as just drinking milk and eating eggs.
digests very quickly, so not very good to stave off hunger or to prolong anabolism, so the two times during the day where this protein is the most effective is your first meal of the day and after working out, drinking it at any other time will lead to poorer results, with most of the calories being converted to carbs via gluconeogenesis.
>due to increased prices, not really cheaper than meat, and about twice as expensive as just drinking milk and eating eggs.
probably depends on where you live and the quality of the eggs/milk/meat
I have an excel sheet which I update monthly, where I calculate the cost of protein/€ for all protein sources I consume and even with the ridiculous price increases whey is still the cheapest form of protein
the only protein source which is cheaper here are oats, but those have a inferior amino acid profile like all plants
I use it as intended, as a supplement.
Getting to 120+ protein on food alone every day is ridiculous. So I make up for that difference with whey.
But it tastes like shit. If I could get my macros comfortably with meat I would no doubt.
>Getting to 120+ protein on food alone every day is ridiculous
Found the skelly lol
I eat 3400kcal a day and get 180g+ of protein. 11% bodyfat.
most people get fat eating half of that, of course its easy for you because you exercise a lot.
normal people don't.
>of course its easy for you because you exercise a lot.
I train once a week. I just dont eat junk or any processed food, and keep my eating within an 8 hour window. There is not a person alive who could get fat eating 1700 calories, stop coping and eat real food.
>There is not a person alive who could get fat eating 1700 calories, stop coping and eat real food
most people are under 5'4 and will definitely get fat rating 1700 calories daily

Can bugpeople even digest whey protein? I thought they were all lack toast and tolerant?
of course they do.
ever been to japan? there's milk in everything. they eat a lot of bread over there.
>ever been to japan?
No and if there's a God in Heaven I never will.
Two nukes were not enough

>I train once a week
Found the roider
Nope, the only thing I get outside of my food is liquid boron and sunlight. It's amazing what the combination of intermittent fasting and exclusively eating whole foods can do.
I've never tried it but rumor is vanilla ice cream sucks. I tried French Vanilla creme or whatever and its great. The catch is its not cheap. Friend of mine lost a bunch weight (fat) when they started using it
The real question is: is pea protein a good mixer?
I’m trying to reduce my cholesterol while making gains and pea seemed like a good mixer with whey, but the brand I got recently is chalky as frick and clumps like shit
Anyone got good pea protein recommendations?
>mogs
Makes me constipated. After I finish my current tub I'm ditching whey. I'm natty anyway, I get enough from 3 meals a day.
How is isolate any better then whey mix, thelabels are pretty much identical
jfc what tf y'all made of?
>hurr durr it makes me poopy hurty 🙁
i eat that shit all the time. shit perfectly well. never get acne. pretty much everyone does. no one has any problems. this thread is full of princesses. the human equivalents of a chihuahua dog
next you'll say you can't eat eggs because it gives you diarrhea or erectile dysfunction or some shit
Ok milk drinker frick u
I tried one scoop of this garbage in water once was on toulet all day vomiting sweating almost died had to got to hospital stomach pumped
poor little baby. don't run too fast, you might trip and break a leg
>have goal.
>must gain one pound of muscle in a month.
>1lb of muscle is 453g.
>Only about 20% of muscle is protein (the rest is mostly water).
>So need 90g extra protein this month.
>3g extra protein per day.
Protein powder is a marketing scam. Just do the math.
i don't get why people can't comprehend the catch. the catch is that it's in powder form and doesn't taste like a tasty ground beef patty, that's the whole idea
>It's literally cheaper than eating meat.
Don't skip brain day bro.
74 scoop tub of gold standard whey = $85.99
$1.16 per scoop
24 grams of protein in 1 scoop
20.6 grams of protein per $1
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs = $1.99/lb at Walmart
76 grams of protein in 1 pound
38.19 grams of protein per $1
>Walmart
gross
Even at a more common $2.99/lb it's still better than whey at 25.14 grams per dollar. Also this is buying whey in frickoff bulk, whereas the more common tub sizes the price per gram is worse (around 16 grams per dollar).
Chicken thighs are moron proof
>Chicken thighs are moron proof
it's not about ruining but it takes too much time
They also cook fast, ~15 mins in the oven
yeah but then you have to cook it
damn how is chicken that cheap in america
walmar chicken must be absolutely unedible
Walmart is typically only cheapest when it comes to slop (frozen foods, cereals, junk food, etc.) Regional grocery chains have the best deals on meats and produce.
When chain stores buy something in bulk they usually get it for a buy in bulk price themselves or they themselves have ownership of said food source so they can control the price. If you lived in "America" you would have a better understanding of that eurogay
You can only absorb so much powdered protein. It’s called a supplement. Not an alternative. It supplements the protein you consume through food, not replaces it.
My bro science intuition says that best ratio is like 70-80% of your protein from real food and 20-30% from powders, getting all the nutritional benefits of natural protein sources with the concentrated density on top. This just makes sense.
Get unflavoured powders and ur fine.
>What's the catch?
meat tastes better
I'm sure it does
> Big
> Fat
> Protein
> Shits
And the downsides?
They almost doubled in price the past few years
May as well eat chicken/bad steak pieces
cholesterol and artificial flavors and preservatives. Buy isolate.
>he thinks protein is all you need to build muscle
ooof
what else do you need?
Vitamins and minerals
Cholesterol
this
cholesterol is atype of fat which is used then by the body to make hormeones ( testosteron included). That being said your body can only digest like 30g of protein per around 2 hours so in theory you will need to drink that whey every 2 hours which will cause a rapid intense spike in available protein.
eating a healthy chunk of steak or beef or other meat will slowly release the protein into the system.
so I can eat only protein and fat?
What happens if I eat only protein and carbs?
>so I can eat only protein and fat?
if you want your body to go into ketosis
>What happens if I eat only protein and carbs?
your body will break up the carbohydrates and deposit them as glycogen in the muscles for use when you need the energy.

you know what idgaf go to ChatGPT im not here to spoonfeed newbies
also picrel is a good read
You need everything. Essential fats, high bioavailability ptoteins, complex carbs, sugars, some fiber, everything.
Do not listen to any moronic diets, eat what you are, eat what builds you.
You will make it 😉

It may be cheaper than beef, but it's definitely not cheaper than chicken and a lot of cuts of pork. Although it can be competitive with chicken in some cases if you buy it at wholesalers like Costco.
