(1) Ditch the gatorade. It's mainly table sugar. Get your parents to give you the equivalent money for protein powder.
I'm not going to bore you too much with the details, but the high degrees of fructose in gatorade means its not optimal PWO.
White rice, white potatoes, bread, or rice would elicit a higher insulin effect and be better.
(2) Suppose you cannot get protein powder, what do you do?
If you can't get whey, your disadvantage will obviously be the absence of fast absorbing protein.
However, you can mitigate this substantially by consuming protein immediately b4 your workouts.
Just have C + P before and after weights.
Consider say 3 slices of bread + 150 grams of tuna b4 and after weights, and if ur not happy with your weight gain, add a glass of milk too!
The need for a fast absorbing protein is going to be less if your already in a "fed" state.
Good luck - I wish I started training at 14 and not 24
