Is it bad to do strength training if I can't afford protein powder and can't get enough protein from food alone to cover my daily consumption?
I'm a little bit overweight and I'm trying to lose weight while also gaining some strength.
Would it be best to just do cardio right now for weight loss and skip the strength training? I'm thinking I might do serious damage to myself if I keep lifting without protein.
Will bump your thread because I'm interested in this too
Still do the strength training. Get as much protein as you can and don't worry about hitting a certain number.
I'm living with my parents and the food I they make is pretty random.
It can be anything from fish, chicken, spaghetti, pasta, tacos, rice with beans, pizza, salads, soups.
Aside from fish and chicken I rarely get any protein. There are times when I go almost a week or two without any real sort of protein to having a good source of it 3-4 days in a row.
How would it not do serious damage to my muscles if I lift and get so little protein that it can't repair the damage done?
Can't you afford buying like a jug of protein like once a month for like $25? How fuckin old are you? Lul
Wallgreen's has that Six Star Whey with creatine for $20 if you have a Wallgreen's card.
Probably not the best shit, but better than nothing if you get that little protons.
Or buy unsalted peanuts for like $0.50 a pound.
I'm 21, unemployed and have literally no money. All I have is a gym membership.
Get a fucking part time job. What are you doing lad.
I have a store called winco near me
They sell things in bulk
I get the weigh protein and put the flower code on it
Sweet gains for 30 cents a pound
I've been sending applications to various places all month every single day. I'm trying.
