Whey Protein Denaturing
- Thread starter FeeltheBern
- Start date
I'm a fan of protein shakes, but I've done my homework on protein spiking (go with MyProtein).
Meat is cool and all, but it's easier to mix up and chug a protein shake (especially in the morning) than it is to sit down and eat ten ounces of chicken or a dozen eggs.
I always chuckle at fans of Shakeology, they have no idea what they're getting.
3 eggs is fuck all for protein or calories. You're looking at 210 calories and maybe 21 grams of protein, tops. I get that much protein in one single scoop of whey.

Brah, I'm fully prepared to defend what I think in a coherent manner. I also agree with the analysis of the sexual market that is accepted on this forum; I really don't see why I have to be a 'full political convert' to come here, talk about weight lifting and how to improve my game.
I also thought my username was a funny pun cause of weight lifting + it succeeded in rustling so many jimmies.

I think this thread is not going in the direction OP hoped...

I agree with Repo. If your diet has enough protein intake required for your growth, then supplements are unnecessary. But mine has not (not serious lack, but slightly below what I require), so I consider using whey.
I think it's common to overthink diet a lot, I'm lazy as fuck when it comes to food, but I'm currently 10% body fat and almost 200 pounds at 6'1". I adjusted my diet a long time ago with inspiration from what the trainer working with the actor I spoke of:
It's super simple, here's all that I buy each week:
1. (3) Rostierre chickens from Costco - $4.99 each
3lbs each, about 1,500 calories and 275g of protein in the whole chicken. I eat half a chicken a day.
2. I buy 5 dozen eggs from Costco for $6
I eat 6 eggs a day fried in Coconut Oil, so the 5 dozen lasts for 10 days. No it's not unhealthy, the old health myths about eggs have been debunked.
3. I buy (2) 5lb bags of mixed frozen vegetables from Costco, I eat about a pound and half of mixed veggies a day.
4. On days I workout (3 - 4 days a week), I eat a pound of steak. I can get steaks at Costco for as little as $5/lb.
Red meat health risks are also overstated. The majority of cases that correlate red meat to colon cancer are in people that are obese and already a minimum of 25% more likely to develop colon cancer just from being a land whale.
5. I throw in some fresh veggies and fruit too, I just buy whatever looks good that week.
All in all, I average maybe $70/week on food and it takes me only 10-15mins to prepare each meal. I don't get bored eating the same things over and over, it's just fuel, and it all tastes great.
My calorie breakdown ends up looking about like this:
Workout days: Eggs, chicken, steak, tons of veggies: 3,000 calories
Non-workout days: Eggs, chicken, tons of veggies: 1,800 calories
It's the easiest diet I've ever had in my life, I'm on autopilot with this thing, I'm never ever hungry. It's impossible to screw up.
