Not essential, but damn close.

how? can't I just eat a chicken breast instead?

Not necessary. They give you more freedom to eat whatever you want for calorie goals since you protein goals are more simple to hit

They're a fucking con created by big pharma. Eat more fish, chicken and soy and you won't need to waste money on that shit.

it's cheaper per gram of protein then chicken you mongoloid

Soy??????

>roid
yes
>natty
no

I don't eat meat, so without shakes it'd be very fucking difficult for me to get gains

>cheaper
beggars should not lift

No, you may ejaculate into your mouth to meet your protein quota.

No, but they're cheap and convenient. Literally the only people that has a negative opinion on it are retards that don't even lift

I like them because I can still have fruity flavors like banana while practicing low carb.

>Eat more fish, chicken
Dude, I can't eat more than 300-400 grams of meat a day, any more just makes me sick.

I'd rather pet my protein from a slain animal than some fucking processed powder milk garbage

>SPIKED PROTEIN POWDERS
what is this?

its easier to drink 2 scoops of whey than eat an additional 50g worth of cbreast

Eat lentils, nuts and other food with good proteins then

50g of chicken is like 3 bites, wtf man

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess he means 50g of protein worth of chicken, since 2 scoops is usually about 50g of protein.

Yeah that would make more sense

stopped taking protein powders

ama

Why?

what kind of oats should i mix with protein shake? and is 30mg cholesterol bad?

Attached: 1519954234036.webm (720x1280, 1.74M)

gave me the shits, had diarrhea all the time and I'm not lactose intolerant

Companies add shit to increase overallprotein content but actually only has half of the quality protein content it says on the tub....my protein bulk powders and ON have been tested and are free from! This

get a stronger stomach faggot

What were you putting in your protein shakes?

Hmmm never had that before and been drinking the stuff for a couple of years

When i stopped taking protein shakes i got leaner and stronger.

Mostly because it forced me to clean my diet, i'd rely too much on protein shakes before and would just ate trash then chug a few shakes to get enough proteins.

nothing the shits only started happening recently. I dropped the shakes and they went away.

I still drink milk and other things and I have no shits with those.

No. You can eat actual food.

>inb4 I need 400g of protein a day

That's assuming whey is 100% pure protein, which is not true.

Not necessary just very convenient.

The problem is that most people think protein powder are a magic solution.

kek

This what I currently eat; red lentils, mussels and spinach. Not expensive and a fuckton of proteins

1-cook the lentils
2-throw in the spinach and mussels
3-eat

Just wondering, how much protein are you aiming for?

its a waste of money and most whey is absolute shit-tier garbage full of fillers and heavy metals from poor manufacturing standards.

do you weigh 500 lbs?

Your farts must be toxic

Yeah, I alternate.
Last week it was red lentils, fish and arugula

>The state of that hob.

Are you a UK student by any chance?

>hey're a fucking con created by big pharma
Woah, those pharmaceutical companies are really get rich off fucking protein powder

No, they're supplemental.

BUT

depending on where you live, it might be the best protein/money ratio, if you buy big ol' bags

>jesus fucking christ
What? You think it doesn't look tasty? You'd rather eat food that feels yummy-yummy going down your tummy instead of food with top-tier macro/micros?

Nope

clean your stove you barbarian

>mfw bought 3 kg of cheap whey, no soy, like good deal
>mfw it's spiked with BCAA and glutamine, arginine
>I just got jewed

Is this a troll post...?
If not, pretty much all food have BCAAs, and glutamine is just one kind of BCAA. That's why BCAA supplement is probably the stupidest thing you can buy

jesus christ user what the fuck

>360 calories
>28g proton

Topkek dyel. You can get 25g for 100 calories from shakes.

>accuses of "dyel"
>points out a food with less calories

Bitchboi

>t. 50% bodyfat

Veeky Forums here, that is absolutely horrific user

Why, what are your concerns here?
Elaborate

No, but they're incredibly useful

120g. I'm having problems bulking tho, as my appetite is usually pretty shit. I feel like I'm stuffing myself constantly. If I'm having particularly troublesome thoughts, I may end up not eating anything a day, so protein shakes help a lot.

grams of meat, not grams of protein, brainlet

>he thinks 10.9 billion USD is a lot of money on the global scale

Bayer alone had a net income of 9 billion USD in 2017

When I was in the Air Force I had a roommate who was a nasty mother fucker. Left dirty dishes in the sink for days, would cook oily as fuck foods and just let that shit sit on the stove, and just got shit everywhere. Once he shit in the bathroom, clogged the toilet, and simply left it there. You remind me of that dirty mother fucker.

Yes.

Whey has the absolute highest bio availability of anything, and comes in the most easy to consume form. It also doesn't have the problem of containing estrogen like other dairy products containing fat.

It's just too perfect.

>the greatest Olympian ever is a soyboy

No it isn't necessary at all. It can be convenient to have on hand though and it's cheaper per serving than meat. The whey isolate I have costs like £0.25 per scoop.

Don't know why some people get so holier than thou about it

bro if you go to Veeky Forums you know they are the worst at cooking out of all the boards

Just like how Veeky Forums is bad at fitness?

can someone help me out?
you can post replies here or there I just need help

Best results i have ever seen is eating food, protein shakes are not necessary but it's great if you dont got time to cook

Yeah, it's pretty good.

So should I just get all the #1 's in the category I use

If you can afford it?

Yep your right I can't afford this shit.... its a shame trying to be healthy costs so much money

Correct! Eat more soy fellow white people! You're welcome!

^this

Its just a easier way to hit your proton goals.

I'd say damn near essential if you want to maintain any semblance of strength when cutting

"hurr i believe memes even though soy is some of the best shit for protein durr"

No they aren't necessary, but they make life easier. I can't get one gram of protein per pound of body weight without them.

exactly

100% unnecessary if you eat enough.

Good post till the soy part. Stop being a faggot and eat red meat.

Protein shakes are terrible because you need vitamin A to digest that much protein, so you end up taking it from your liver and end up with a shitty liver after a decade.
