Who else here doesn't consistently take their protein shakes???

[eviction]

Just curious because no matter what I just can't stay consistent with it. I hate the way it runs right through me and so I don't feel it's a good sacrafice if I have to go to the bathroom too much. I know I have to start and maybe take it little by little and maybe with food but I'm just not consistent with it. I like to get my nutrition from regular foods but I know it's not practical to get all the nutrition one needs for optimal gains so I guess I'm not doing what's optimal....

I'll try to take it AT LEAST for post workout. That should make a good difference just from that.

i hate protein shakes, i do like these "high protein" bars from powerbar that have 24G protein per bar.. 4 of those a day is a good extra 96 grams, and they taste great!

but when i was drinking shakes, i would get the protien as dissolved as i could possibly get it into 12oz of milk.. then i'd do the man show chug on it, slam it like a beer chugging contest... god i hated it, but it was a quick 30+ grams of protein

Have you tried MedRx or IsoPure? They are pretty good.

Bars are 99% junk...........ok...90%......mostly fillers and shit you dont need nor use for positive gains...............powders aren't the best (as real food is numero uno) but are benfitial........just ditch the bars........

ronnie is a freak - if you have not seen his video he probaly eats a couple of chickens a day... All he does is eat in his squad car and train... AWESOME...

i feel more dense physically when i have one mrp and a couple of shakes on top of 3 real meals... I could never put down 6 full meals a day, i have tried, i cant do it (i weigh about 265)
