Best Protien source

[Mr I]

I am getting things together to do my next course in aprox 3-4 weeks, I'm aiming at about 8 weeks on Trenbolone, and winnie/anavar.

I'm looking to gain some hard muscle with little water retention, I don't suppose those particular AS are gonna require nolva or proviron as they dont aromatise much. One thing always bugs me though when I go through a gaining phase, I try and increase my protien intake above my norm of say about 200-220 grams per day (I weigh 231lb), I am quite busy during the day and although I do eat regularly, I tend to have to play catch up on protien intake at night through protien shakes, the problem is that they always seem to bloat me and make me hold water, hence the name Mr incredible.

Can anyone explain this or recommend a protien shake that doesn't have this effect?


Thanks for any help in advance

do you take them with milk? do they have carbs in them? I don't see why they would bloat you.

[Mr I]

I usually take them with water, Protoplex, N-large, and Pro peptide are I think the brand names I have tried

At 231, you should be taking in a lot more protein than you currently are. For example, I'm at 180 lbs and taking in 410 g of protein. 50 grams x 8 meals.

[Mr I]

410, thats impressive, what are your sources (sh*t am I alowed to say that)?

tee hee

8 meals at 50 grams each, you must be using protien shakes to get that, any brands you recomend?

My diet's posted on this thread:

I try to stay away from shakes as much as possible, with the exception of two instances. In the morning, I use a whey isolate for quick absorbtion since my body has been without food for 8 hours. After working out, I use a whey isolate, again for quick absorbtion. Any good whey isolate will work ... Syntrax Nectar tastes good. I use EAS Precision Protein in the morning.

If you must use a protein shake in lieu of real food, be sure to use a slow absorbing protein, i.e. casein or egg protein. I use EvoPro by CytoSport.

[Mr I]

Thanks Curls, I'm gonna start my shopping list this weekend, whey isolate it is!

[Mr I]

Hey Curls, whats all that flax stuff in your diet for? is that some kind of digestive aid?

[Curls4dGirls]

Only use whey in the morning and immidiately after work outs. It absorbs fast, so you get a burst of protein. Say, for example, you wanted to drink a protein shake before bed. If you drink whey, then you'll get a quick spike and then nothing. If you drink the same amount of casein, you're body will absorb it over a longer period of time ... better for muscle growth.

Flax is simply a clean fat. I use it to reach my target fat grams for the day. Actually, I use a combination of flax and fish oil.

I strongly believe in high protein diets but your body can only absorb so much. It is a big misconception to eat an infinite amount of protein to gain weight. I think for most people anything over 350+ grams of protein is a waste. Try to think of carbs to and the good fats that your body needs to grow as well.

[Curls4dGirls]

ahhhh .... the ol' how much protein is too much debate.

I shoot for 2g per lb of body weight.

food bro food. protein shakes are for when you cant get food.

For bulking, I try to take in 100% whey isolate shakes 3 times per day (morning, after training, evening, and get in 3 servings of lean beef per day. Other meals consist of chicken or pork (usually fairly lean pork like a smoked chop or tenderloin).

Variety is important, or you'll get sick of eating pretty quickly, but I find that I grow best when beef makes up the majority of my meat protein intake.

I eat steak in the mornings and afternoon if I wish and choose leaner protein sources as the day progresses. Switching over to whole foods more I have started increasing my lifts in the gym every week for 3 solid weeks now. I do eat whey after I workout along with amino's glutamine and creatine. All this seems to have made a huge difference for me thus far. Whole food is where it is at, take Bouncers advice of " food bro food". He should know what works better than anyone here as far as that is concerned. Protein shakes bloat me as well and seem to make me hold more adomenal fat for some reason. I have been told whey shakes spike your insulin levels and really none of the shakes have enough fiber, however I do not have any hard data to back that up. Try making your food in advance, it is the only way I can stick to my clean diet. Good luck bro
