[darkripper]

Try MyProtein, cheap.

Optimum Nutrition also not bad.

 

[boiboi123]

Myprotein is imo cheapest

 

[galapogos]

Myprotein is very affordable and lab tested. Lion Lab Nutrition is also very affordable and claims to be lab tested, but I've never tried them before.

 

[renneths]

Myprotein, probably the most worth for quality and cheapest bc of monthly sales that can go up to 45% off

Any one tried Weight gainer blend?

Any one tried Weight gainer blend?

Yes I ever tried it, but from experience over the years I have also learnt to make my own meal replacements / weight gainer shakes.

The commercially available weight gainers are full of sugar and its different forms. Usually they are not really healthy. This is what bumps up your calorie intake, so that you are actually consuming more calories than your body burns, in order to put on weight.

You could try making your own shakes as well. I bought a blender for this purpose.

A standard breakfast shake for me would consist of half a cup of rolled oats, 3 tablespoon of black sesame seeds, a scoop of peanut butter, one banana, one scoop whey, one scoop casein, one cup milk. Blend and add water to desired consistency.

You can experiment with different fruits, berries and ingredients to see what best suits your taste, as well as supporting your daily caloric needs.

is MusclePharm (Combat Protein Powder) still recommended?

It was pretty cheap on iherb - @sgd41/4lbs free ship when they had some sales

How about herbalife?

How about herbalife?

Forget abt it.It is as much marketting and a pyramid scheme on top of being a sports supplement.Stick to dedicated sports nutrition which is ideal for you.

Respect the dedication.This is the best if you have the time and discipline.

Experiment with a few.Till you find something that you like the taste and works for you.Protein powder is not magically gonna help you grow.Its just a supplement.But is easy to down 30g of protein since most of us are time deprived.Real food intake is your winning .For me,it was to help with doms.Stuck to ON cos of its cleaner formula and taste.

[gpangpingpong]

Usuall can take 30g to 50g per day bro

 

[linghuanghottie]

the protein requirements for an adult male is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, according to the National Institutes of Health's Dietary Reference Intake (DRI), studies evaluating nitrogen balance—a product of protein breakdown—suggest that athletes may need up to three times that amount

 

[linghuanghottie]

Means I need 60grams per day.... wow - more than I’m taking!
