Protien Powder - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Ironman · 29-09-2005, 11:15 AM

I was hoping to find out what kind of protien powder poeple here took and could recomend.

I usually take MRM whey - but this is working out quite costly as I get through a tub a week 1/2, and even with a 20% discount i get it still works out at 30 quid a tub.

Are there any cheaper aulternatives out there that you would recomend as im hitting a bit of a financial rock at the moment?

Just bought 2 of your finest tubs of mrm - cheers for the heads up!

Thats a lot of Protein powder your getting through. How many drinks a day?

Ironman · 29-09-2005, 02:54 PM

I get through 4 on non workout days and 5 on workout days - I mix my shakes with 2 scoops of powder and a whole egg. Each one contains approx 50 grms protein.

Wow, 200g of protein in drinks alone on a non-workout day! How much food do you eat?

Ironman · 29-09-2005, 03:43 PM

On top of that I get through about 6 egg whites and 3- 4 whole eggs, 2 10 oz steaks or eqivalent chicken breasts, bowl of oates, 250grms of rice, 1 large baked potato, some bread, couple bowls of shreddies. 2 bananas, 2 oranges and some ice cream if I fancy it. Depends how hungary i get.

I was going to suggest that you eat more food instead of having so much protein powder, but looking at that list I'll not bother! Out of interest How much do you weigh?

Ironman · 29-09-2005, 04:41 PM

Weighing at the moment 17st give or take a pound - I try to eat as much whole food as i can but i put a 65 hr week split between 2 jobs - so the shakes are more of a convience.
