Here, enjoy these wallet gains.

I wouldn't say it'll make you fat, but consuming too much just isn't healthy.

As for a shake or smoothie that tastes great with low calories I'd recommend making a shake consisting of:

• protein powder
  
• PB2 Peanut butter
  
• Spinach (sounds weird, but it doesn't really have a taste)
  
• Ice
  
• Almond milk
  
  This is usually my go-to for something that tastes good, and is filling also.

Chicken breast or turkey breast as a staple for one of your meals will help a lot. Chicken breast has approximately 25g protein per 4oz serving at only around 120 calories. Typically I eat double that for dinner every (or almost every) night. I also eat cottage cheese, jerky, lunch meat, string cheese, greek yogurt (Yoplait has 100 calorie greek yogurt with 14g of protein per serving). I also drink milk with dinner and that provides a little protein as well. Protein shakes can also add some substantial protein in your diet as well, such as this one (24g protein for 120 cal) or this one (30g protein/140 cal).

To confirm, is it this one?

If so, that's a total of 3g net carbs per serving for the powder alone. If you add it to anything other than water you'll need to factor in the possible carbs from that as well.

The sugars listed under the "Total Carbohydrates" are already included. When we talk about net grams of carbs, we talk about subtracting any fiber. For sugar alcohols, it's a bit more complicated.

Costco Canada appears to only have vanilla

Your best bet will be Amazon at CDN$79.94 for 2.27kg. And they have nearly every flavor variety.

I did exactly what you want to do the first time, got 5 pounds Whey Gold from Optimum Nutrition and Universal Creatine, and yes, i did do the loading phase for a week, then i reduced the intake to 5g a day, it does work, you have a lot of energy and feel like you can weightlift more.

My advice is, skip the creatine powder, and wait till you run out of protein, then get protein powders like MuscleTech NitroTech Whey Protein Powder, as it already has creatine in it, remember that creatine is not water soluble, so when you take creatine, you have to add water, stir it, drink, then stir it again, and drink until you are done, having in it in a protein shake solves that problem.

Creatine is not a miracle supplement, so i don't see why would someone spend $20, maybe $30 on creatine, when you can get in included in your protein shake.

Is the one I did. When I bought all my ingredients, Choline Bitartrate wasn't on the list.

Even included is vitamins to take to supplement what you will not be getting.

Price can vary, I went ahead and bought a large quantity to force myself to stick to it (50 lb bag of masa). Price is cheaper the more bulk you get. The flaxseeds to my knowledge are just there for fiber, and they have a weird texture, so feel free to cut them if you don't like it (fiber is good though, and filling).

I actually suggest flavored protein powder, as it can get bland. Or you can do as other people do, and add different near 0 calorie flavors to it, including cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla.

I personally use Protein Powder for protein powder instead. Good macro nutrient profile, and a ton of flavors to choose from. My favorites are Cake Batter, Banana Cream, and Rocky Road.

You will have hunger cravings for 2 weeks if you only use this as food. They WILL go away if you can be diligent for 2 weeks though. This is the same with any diet if you have tried though.

I started only drinking soylent for awhile, but decided for social reasons I would not kill myself over eating real food.

I have been using Soylent to try and actual eat more calories/protein so I started mixing in 2 scoops of protein powder per pouch ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSTBNS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 ) so far I've tried cake batter and extreme milk chocolate. The chocolate is much better but its nice to have an easy way to switch up the flavor. One major downside is that it gets a bit more grainy so I have to let it sit for at least 8 hours or else its a bad texture, could probably fix that by mixing in more water too.

How much protein are you getting a day now? You might be fine at your current levels. But if you want to add protein without adding more carbs and fat, you could use a whey isolate protein powder for protein shakes. They're pretty much all protein.

Something like this. One serving is 24g protein, 1.5g fat, 3g carbs.


Also, nonfat, plain Greek yogurt has fairly high protein, no fat, and low carbs. 1 cup of Chobani nonfat plain is 22g protein, 0g fat, 6g carbs

I generally stick to Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, and I get it from Amazon. I find it mixes easier than other protein powders, and I like the carb to protein ratio.

> don't know exactly what a whey protein supplement is

Protein powder, like the protein shakes you drink after a workout, etc. E.g. this stuff.

> or how much people took to get results

Study says they took 2 28g servings (so two scoops; presumably mixed in water) a day for 8 weeks.

Agreed. I buy it on Amazon. Extreme Milk Chocolate is my favorite flavor.

1. Ditch the cup, just wear compression shorts.
   
   
2. Eat more protein, sleep more, foam roll. Make sure you give your body enough time to recover between training sessions. You'll be able to train more frequently as your body acclimates to grappling.

I'm planning on stocking up on protein powder again, but what I usually get (ON Whey Protein) jumped in price a bit, and a different protein (MET-Rx Whey Protein) is about $20 cheaper. Is there any reason I shouldn't get the MET-Rx over the ON?

ON

MET-Rx

Nobody has suggested protein shakes yet. They provide a lot of protein (~24g/serving) for relatively cheap.

Not sure about cost/availability in the UK, but optimum gold standard is low carb/fat.

Not OP but I've tried a random variety of protein powders, and Optimum Nutrition is far and away the best. It comes in a ton of flavors and the couple I've tried (Extreme Milk Chocolate and Double Rich Chocolate) aren't too sweet, like some protein powders can be. But the best part it that it completely dissolves so it doesn't make your smoothies gritty. I also just drink it straight mixed in water a lot, because I'm lazy haha. Optimum Nutrition is recommended a lot all over this sub and r/fitness, and for good reason!

This one, right: https://www.amazon.ca/OPTIMUM-NUTRITION-Standard-Extreme-Chocolate/dp/B000QSTBNS

Now I just need to find a much smaller size to try it lol

Does anyone ever have trouble with camelcamelcamel reporting a low price, then you go to the amazon page, and the price is something else? What am I missing?

Price History

I've usually used Optimum Nutrition when it's come to protein powder and can get it through Amazon or supplement stores around me.

What would you recommend as a keto-friendly option, and how much protien powder per serving / per day would I be using?

I personally think the label of Super Fiber should be adjusted to fit when you order them next. Would streamline the DIY process. Its not too crazy though, just add the servings to get the daily and divide by the number of meals each day.

You mentioned cream, I thought I read that I could sub the cream out for olive oil or canola oil? Or are the servings portioned specifically for cream? I was looking at it mostly for the Omega-3 and 6 it would add. I'm sure the cream would taste better though haha.

Thanks for the advice :) I went and purchased this instead: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QSTBNS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

Is this what you use?

Edit: was originally going to buy this one before but then I saw the USN for cheaper, guess I'll learn from that mistake and just try and sell the rest of it to someone aha

I liked extreme chocolate and cookies and cream, but I'd buy a small bit before buying a big tub to see what flavors you like. Amazon #1 best seller for protein

the downside of aerobic exercise is how boring it can be. It's long, tiring, and gets to be very monotonous. Some people can get into it. That's great if you can, me personally I'd just have a hard time sticking with it. I focus on anaerobic exercises. They're better for strength and muscle growth anyway. I've seen some amazing gains. Not necessarily size gains either. I mean, obviously, I've gained some muscle but I've developed more in a definition sort of way. I've actually lost a pretty significant amount of weight doing the exercises that I do. I started out at ~170 but now I hover around ~157 and I've got a six pack for the first time in my life at the age of 23. It's easy to get intimidated by the gym, but fuck it man, don't worry about it, everyone is in there to become better versions of themselves anyway. We all had to start somewhere. I personally like seeing out of shape people in the gym. Better than them sitting in front of a fucking television anyway. For my workout routines, I find the website www.muscleandstrength.com to be very resourceful. There are some great motivating articles in there, very knowledgeable users, and that's where I learned how to do certain specific exercises. Starting out, I followed this 3 day split for about 8 weeks and then I switched to this 4 day split that I'm currently following. I take whey protein supplements and do cardio on Saturdays/Wednesdays and use Sundays as a rest day. For protein, I use this delicious powder using a blender bottle I picked up at GNC. For cardio, I use Dr. Layne Norton's 'Best Damn Cardio Humanly Possible in 15 Minutes'. I love talking about exercise, and I try to recommend it whenever I can, it's the easiest way to start becoming a better you!

I used food as a comfort and as a result gained 40 pounds in college because of the stress of school. It's now coming off. ^^ I was definitely addicted to bad food though. My primary strategies for breaking that addiction were:

• Spices as a replacement for craving greasy food. Specifically garlic powder, black peper, and cumin. These have no nutritional value but make dishes taste delicious. My rice and beans dish fulfills what deep dish pizza and other crap used to fulfill.
  
  
• Fruit and protein shakes for caving sweet food. The protein shake a make literally tastes like a chocolate milk shake. I use this powder in the extreme milk chocolate flavor.
  
  The above two strategies got me started. Now that I've lost a decent amount of weight, it becomes self reenforcing. I like looking good and the positive feedback I get helps to counter the need for emotional eating.

I read the ON comments on Amazon, where I buy mine. There are many suggestions regarding the different flavors and which are gluten free etc. You can search the 4k+ comments for the word "flavor"

I've only ever ordered the extreme milk chocolate, which is yummy.

it is nutrition facts

What are your guy's favorite protein powder flavor? I just tried Whey On Extreme Milk Chocolate and it tastes soo good!

Just asking so I can get some future flavors for consideration.

Personally, I don't think it matters a huge amount. It is more important to try and get as much protein from food and your diet, only using protein powder to supplement that. That being said, any whey protein will do the trick. Aim to get one with 90% protein.

Others may disagree. I know that gold standard protein is popular in this subreddit

I'm confused too, but here's what I'm finding:

It looks like there are two kinds: "natural" and "non-natural".

The "subscribe and save" option only exists for the natural one.

The natural one has three favors (vanilla, chocolate strawberry). It's naturally flavored and has 5g of carbs.

The non-natural has like 20 flavors, and only 1g carbs (or maybe 3 grams... The description says one thing but the image of the nutrition label says something else).

They both have 24g protein and 5.5g BCAA. Natural is 130 cals and unnatural is 120 cals.

I know nothing about tastes, but the reviews seem to say both are good.

This is my choice. Also you can check this list. ;)

>So, should I be eating a surplus on my rest days/weekends if I'm doing SS 3x a week?

Yes. If you're concerned of gaining too much fat during your bulk, it's recommended that you begin counting Calories once again to prevent under or overeating.

>Also, which protein powder is best to mix into oatmeal?

While I haven't done it with oatmeal, my favorite powder so far to mix with milk and cereal is ON Gold Standard Extreme Milk Chocolate.

I was using this before i started keto, and im still using it. Its the most delicious thing ever. And it doesn't even taste bad with just water (always heard that protein is horrible with water and before keto i always drank it with milk) but it was great. Not exactly low-carb, but it smells and tastes almost like Nesquik.

Also, there are plenty of really good tasting proteins out there. I usually stick to chocolate (hard for them to mess up), and go with brands like Optimum or Dymatize. You can add some cream to it to up your fat macros and improve flavor/consistency as well. You could also try keto chow.

What's the difference between ON whey isolate and ON Gold standard whey? The isolate is supposed to be better, but looking at the nutrition facts they seem to be about the same. Does it matter which one I get?

I found the regular simple protein powders to be fine.

If you use a regular protein powder then make sure you're also taking 1 'heaping' teaspoon of creatine per day too.

I like the Optimum Nutrition Extreme Chocolate (https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Extreme-Chocolate/dp/B000QSTBNS) but go with whichever you like the taste of best.

Make sure to get a shaker cup (like this: https://www.amazon.com/TOP-QUALITY-Shaker-Blender-14/dp/B01DTHWY5O ), it helps make sure it is good and mixed up.
