I’m 37, male, and weigh about 170 lbs. Groceries are already expensive and only getting more so all the time. Some people recommend consuming almost 1g of protein for every lb you weigh to build muscle mass, but I’m already spending almost $200/month on protein powder and bars and still only getting about 75-100g per day. It’s also hard for me to stay in a calorie surplus with my current lifestyle and budget concerns. Should I switch to a high calorie/protein mass gainer instead of just whey protein/isolate? Any recommendations on protein powders that don’t break the bank? Thanks!
I don’t even understand how this is possible. Spending $200 a month on protein powder and only getting 75-100 day. That math doesn’t check out.
Right? You can get 39 servings of 30g from a $33 tub of Body Fortress chocolate, which is a totally fine tasting powder. The math is real off.
Right ? What is op actually eating …a tub of cottage cheese cheese has more protein than most bars and is cheaper, for one example. I don’t think they’re using their brain.
Whole milk and 10lb bag of optimum nutrition protein. Stock up on eggs and high protein yogurts for breakfast. $200/month for just protein supplements sounds crazy
Protein powder and bars might be one of the more expensive ways to get your protein. Bars more than powder.
Chicken breast or thighs, eggs, ground beef when it’s on sale, canned tuna.
I’ve started adding more healthy fats and my hormonal health has improved.
Creatine and this diet is basically a legal cheat code. Great stuff.
Does this help with the ‘pump’ or is it mostly for overall recovery?
