EVEN for a woman? wtf is that supposed to mean?
In any case, you don't need one specific sort of protein to grow, regardless of your gender.
Eat a balanced bulking diet and you should be all good.
If you don't know how to design one write up a post requesting help on the matter. You can bulk with whole foods, although it can be a bitch.

Peace

ye exactly like eating junk, or half a chicken and feel full up

The reason why I mentionned Tuna cans its because they have 0.3 g of fat, and no carbohydrates. You can eat up to three cans without feeling full up. Plus they aren't expensive. Also other fishes are great too (salmon, Red snnapper,......). She asked for the best source, and its even better than protein powder...... tell me that I'm wrong ?

hey manny,,, if i eat all that tuna, dont i have to watch out for the sodium, i know i should be drinking tons of water anyway but would the sodium be an issue,also is tuna better to eat then chicken??

if you want to put on some size, you have to remember that post workout nutrition should include carbs and protein....so all those high protein zero carb stuff may keep you out of catabolism, but from my personaly experience no size gains unless you use something with moderate to high carbs.

I'm trying to gain now, and didn't start feeling fully recovered or gains till I upped the carbs post workout.....No insulin, no growth.

My favorite protein: blended....majority milk protein....MET-Rx Extreme Chocolate is my fav.

My protein shake:

I take 1/2 envelope of Myoplex lite and add one scoop of ProLab Pure Whey. I mix in the blender with about 8 oz water and some ice cubes. It comes out moderately thick like a milkshake, and I think it tastes very good. Here is the nutrient breakdown

Calories 210
fat 3 (not including the flaxseed oil)
carbs 15
protein 35

Also. after I've blended it, I add in a squirt of flaxseed oil. You can't taste it, but it gives you EFA's (essential fatty acids) very helpful for leanness. You don't want to actually blend the flaxseed oil - supposedly it breaks it down (a tip I got from this list).

The Facts

Whey is the quickest protien asimilated by the body, breakdown time about 20 mins. So, for ANYONE whey is the best choice right after a workout so your muscles are fed asap. Soy takes a little longer to be digested, so use that during the day (the soy isoflavones are a positive benifit for women).

Personnally Tuna is better than chicken...at least i dont get full up so i can eat more. As for sodium a Tuna can has 235 mg of sodium (at least mine) ...I've seen worst....

gender is definitely not a factor when searching for a protein that is right for you. you will have to test out all types and see which ones agree with your body. i personally eat egg whites, chicken, turkey, tuna (you can rinse the tuna out to get rid of most of the sodium or buy low sodium), red meats, whey, casein, soy (i don't buy this in a powder to drink, i use soy milk and soy flour), and a variety of different beans. you also don't have to stick with one thing, it gets boring if you do. happy hunting!

I personally like Myoplex and Met-rx. Yummy, with lots of protein in them to grow.
