Good Tasting CHEAP Whey

[gstacker]

so i should have fast carbs right before my cardio? i thought the whole point of pwo cardio was you did it when your glycogen was already depleted just like when u do fasted morning cardio...?

i could be wrong but my logic is this...you just got done hitting the weights an you need to feed your muscles and replenish them with glocogen and if you dont and you go running your going to burn off muscle....corect me if im wrong?????
anyways if i add in a lil cardio at the end its only like a 15-20min blast if thats what your doing i wouldnt wory bout it...
but then again im at 18% like you so maybe listen to someone a lil leaner than me lol

Im 15, been training for about a year now. I used whey for quite a while and bought the unflavoured sort in bulk, it was cheap as fuck but tasted like ass.

Just before the summer I decided to drop the whey and concentrate on my diet, I had started getting lazy and just using protein shakes to replace meals. This is my usual diet right now, I am doing a clean bulk w/ cardio and slightly restricted carbs. Im having the best strength gains of my life, gaining mass slowly and also loosing bf slowly. I am 170-175 atm 17-18% bf and 5'8"

Breakfast:
50-75g oats + 200ml whole milk + either blueberries, dired apricots or raisens made into porridge - aprox 45-60g carbs, 10g protein
3 whole eggs, 200-250g or organic cottage cheese protein is either 20g or 28g from this, almost no carbs and 15g fat if I have the eggs.

11.15:
100g chicken w/ wholemeal pitter bread + salad - 20g protein, 30g carbs

12.35:
100g chicken w/ wholemeal pitter bread + salad - 20g protein, 30g carbs

4.00-5.00pm:
either 200g chicken breast, 4 whole eggs or 190-225g lean steak with either brown rice, wholemeal bread or cous cous. Protien and carbs vary here but usually 30-45g protein, 30-60g carbs

8.00pm: (post workout)
usually 200-300g lean steak w/ 200g potatoes & broccoli

11.00pm: pre bed
250g organic cottage cheese or more eggs if I havnt had them earlier with veggies. Or if I went to the gym later than my post workout meal is eaten at like 9.30 so I skip this meal and go to bed at 10.30-11.00...

I usually average 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight, 160-200g of protein every day. As I said this is working great for strength gains but mass gains are pretty slow.

So I was wondering would it be worth buying some whey again to add another 30-50g of protein to my daily intake and see if it helps mass gains, my post workout meal isnt always in the 30minute "window of opportunity" which is always talked about so I could get a shake pwo and then eat after...

What does everyone think? And if so, does anyone know any decent tasting whey that a punk ass 15y/o without a job could afford

MUST BE AVAILABLE IN THE UK.

I'd go quality over quantity and price. My camp uses only the best,,,Synthepure.

fasted cardio for fat loss. meal before cardio for heart health. its really one or the other. their are some things you can take to help preserve mass and still be fastede but not shakes.

muscle milk, monster milk are both extremely good tasting shakes. when price is compared to food its usually cheaper than food.

imo the only time a shake is better than food is when you are really depleted. if not a shake i would go for tuna, white rice, water and creatine.

think is i hate tuna man. SO if no shakes should I just carry on w/ steak and potatoes pwo or did you suggest tuna because its more mushy so to speak and so i guess more easily broken down? In which case I could always get some scrambled egg postworkout and have steak pre workout with some brown rice or somethin...

all i was asking is do people think adding 40-50g of protein to my daily intake on workout days via whey post workout would make much differance in mass gains...

getting quick digesting nutrients will make a difference vs slow digesting nutrients. the shake is probably the fastest for protein. eggs probably wont be good especially whole eggs. maybe some verry lean tender chicken with white rice and a sugary drink. the amount you chew your food helps also. chew it up real good.

I love muscle milk. Cookies and cream and cake batter are the only ones ive tried and love them both. theyre about 40 bucks for 5lb tub. my pwo shake right now is 50g dextroe, 50g maltodextrin, 1 serving muscle milk. then have a big meal 1 hour later, chicken or steak with white rice and some evoo for cooking the meat.

nutrisport 90 + whey/caesin 44gbp 5kg tub chocolate tastes like cocoa

Wow. Protein factory looks great. Forget Costco. Time to start buying from Protein Factory. It's almost half the price of Costco's $29 6lb stuff (although the Costco stuff also has egg protein, not just whey).
