No more protein shakes

[mendo]

I would eat whole food proteins for EVERY MEAL (except post workout) if I could bro. It just doesn't work with my schedule. I think you're better off than guys who drink shakes for 90% of their protein.

 

[trickassmark]

yeah ur better off taking as few shakes as possible... I try to keep it at one a day without including post workout. The more u can eat whole foods, the better.

That's all you need, big man. Shakes are not necessary.

I know this isnt the correct forum but the guys I need to hear from dont frequent the other boards.. Here's my deal.

Im about 6'1 215lbs always under 10% BF. I look good.. Eat right, Train smart. Use my gear sparingly. My question is... I cannot stomach protein shakes. My buddie is a general manager of LA Fitness so i have tried absolutely everything out there. I just cant do it. Right now I consume about 6-7 whole food meals per day. Clean carbs, EFA fats about 30-60 grams of protein per meal. My only shake is my post workout shake. I drink a gatoraid with some additional dextrose mixed in and about 50mg of a RTD whey drink.. Usually an isopure or a "clear" shake. My stomach cant handle that nsty chocolate crap.. Am I losing any gains by eating whole foods rather than MRP's and SHakes?

rtd cans are not worth the money. buy muscle milk and a potent protein blend. mix the two together. powder form is a much better buy. caned concentrate takes too long to enter through your system. better yet add a meal replacement in with it as well. all three. 1 serving of meal replacement, 1/2 of muscle milk, 1/2 of protein blendalong with a 1/2 cup of oatmeal all blended. for post workout shake.

Blah protein shakes are a waste of hard earned money. Why spend the cash when you can buy a can of Tuna for $1.50? It's real food, REAL protein. Just throw some chunky blue cheese dressing on it and down it after a workout. 50g protein.

IMO protein shakes are in fact a necessity you just have to find which one works for you and in my opinion optimium (55g) is great it is a egg blend and very easy to digest if u use water instead of milk.

your all set bro.

Our digestive systems are meant to breakdown whole foods anyway... not liquid foods. You will burn more calories through the day eating a ton of whole food frequently as well... so if you want to gain and are not, add a few meals.

keep like RADAR and your good: lol, eat on brother

thanks for the replys guys.. I know my food intake is fairly on track but I just ATE protein powders. I can stomach one for my PWO shake because i have to. But other than that I wouldmuch rather chow on some burgers than a glass of calorie countdown milk and whey or even worse water and whey... I really appreciate it.
