I only bought my 6Lb Pro-rated brand whey protein at $30. 22g protein per serving. I think that's way way cheap than buying a steak

 

 

dude i don't get it...

you spend $30 on a 6lb pro rated brand, that is 1560 (correct the conversion if i'm wrong) in Phil peso.

it seemed you already have a decision even before asking your concern if food supplements will indeed benefit you,

so why bother ask?

 

steak isn't the only natural source of protein there's also skinless chicken breast, egg whites and peanuts, the fact that you're so keen on mentioning "steak" as your target food would only mean you can afford it. besides, while others here can only hope to get whey protein sold locally for an affordable price, you're acquring it using your $$$...

 

i'm amazed :blink:

 

 

 

 

just sharing my POV, peace

Then why have this thread when all you can recommend is to go natural...

 

kse nababasa ko dito eh ang suggestion eh to go natural by all means. Yes, that's the best but then again iba iba ang schedules/preference natin. Titimplahin ko lang yung protein shake ko eh less than 5 minutes lang as against magprepare pa ko ng natural food.

 

Generally mahal yang protein shakes... but for other people, mas mahal yung TIME nila. Convenience can be pricey...

Part of the problem is that most trainees put FAR too much emphasis on protein and not enough on essential fatty acids (EFAs), fiber, and total calories (not derived from SUGAR like in weight gainers). What you get is guys who can't lose fat when dieting (because they are eating too much protein) and guys who can't gain weight (because they think that all they need is protein for a positive nitrogen balance).

 

Protein is insignificant in comparison to total calories. Total calories is the key to growth as total calories is the key to weight loss/dieting.

 

I can feel the heat from the guys that will jump on me for what I've just said, but I used to believe the opposite until I got my degree in biochemistry and spent time researching wasting diseases and disorders. The human body is an incredibly efficient machine, and will grow with even 50 grams of protein per day (even if the athlete is 200lbs) as long as there are enough calories present.

 

I used to religiously drink 200 grams of protein per day and didn't eat enough. I made zero gains. Then I learned how to train properly and once purposely avoided protein for a month when getting back from a long layoff following a minor surgery. Within that month, I gained back a large portion of my strength and lean mass. When I tried dieting once I kept my protein very high but my calories moderate. I couldn't lose fat because my body couldn't handle 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. I cut the protein in half, and lo and behold, my bodyfat level plummeted and I was lean in record time.

 

If you want REAL results, eat REAL food and balance everything. It's much more difficult to do this with supplements.
