I've had ensure and musle milk, but bolthouse farm is best. Bolthouse farm also makes great tasting smoothies. Their vanilla bean and moca cap. are very great tasting protein shakes! How about you? What protein shake brand do you find is best?

I just purchased Muscle pharm - cookies and cream Here.

Pretty sweet - but relatively tasty. I didn't feel like shopping around and the convenience factor was there + the price is right. Some people have mentioned this stuff is good because it has BCAA's (although no amount stated!)

I used to buy flavorless protein in bulk, but I don't use it any more. I stopped using it about two years ago and haven't noticed any difference in performance or muscle mass. Now I just try to get my protein from food.

I use hemp protein powder, with a greek yogurt and almond, cashew, or flax milk.  Throw that in a blender cup, shake it up and enjoy.

15grms protein in the hemp powder, 12grms protein in the greek yogurt, so that's good for my recovery.

I used to buy brand name shit, now I just buy generic hydrolyzed whey protein in bulk. Lab certified, no sugars/fillers and delicious as fuck.

You're joking right? Most meats are 25%ish protein. Lean beef is 27% protein; 500g of lean beef and you're already there. Lentils and nuts are about the same proportion protein. Reaching 130g of protein in a day is trivially easy. I find it very difficult to get through a whole day without eating at least 130g of protein.

And plus, the whole "one gram per pound, or per kilo of body-weight per day" isn't very scientifically sound. To maximize protein synthesis (and therefore muscle growth) from your diet, you need to maximize leucine levels in the blood, and to do this, you need a small source (20ish grams) of protein every three or so hours. This number may vary a bit from person to person, but my point is that most strict adherents to fitness industry dogma over-consume protein. I weigh 290lb and lift weights regularly, and having ceased taking protein supplements, and with food as my sole source of protein, I haven't noticed any significant difference in my gym and sporting improvements, or my muscle mass, even with as little as 100g of protein per day.

Protein supplements can help some people, some of the time, but most of the time they are unnecessary, and all of the time they are overrated.

EDIT: Didn't mean to sound combative here: Having experienced, tried, and analyzed most theories floating around the place I'm just very eager to share my views on the matter when I come across the many very common myths surrounding diet, and the entire fitness industry for that matter.

Yeah - I am aware of the exaggerated claims regards how much protein to consume. Consensus seems to be .7-.8g per lb of body weight although the evidence is thin.

No worries with regards to "sounding combative" - It's food for thought. I am likely counting my macro's wrong (especially with meat) and will reevaluate.

(TBH - i am using a pot scale to measure things trail mix, nuts and oatmeal, and calculate wet ingredients by either volume or eyeballing ---> I suspect my meat calculations are way off and should probably buy a dedicated food scale.)

I don't like the idea of eating a powder and would vastly prefer obtaining my protein through my diet.

Good post btw.

I drink a powder called protein and greens, from paradise herbs every morning. I can buy 4-5 jars which lasts 2 months for $100, so divided by 60 days $1.66 for my breakfast every morning.

It's just for food intake, I don't work out or anything. I think it's cheap and healthy. Not sure if I'm gaining weight because of it...

Actually the consensus is .75 grams per kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight, and that's for athletes. Average person doesn't need that much.

4 hamburgers is 80g alone, throw gulping down 4 raw eggs and you got yourself 120g right there.  1 scoop of protein shake if you feel a little hungry = 140g.  Eat a fuck ton of chicken and rice for dinner and right there you got 180-200g.  Honestly exercise is not the hard part its the will to eat that much food.

Yeah I have nothing against protein supplements and I can see myself potentially using one in the future, however, I see so many young guys that think it's necessary to use protein powder to get any gains whatsoever. Supplement companies have been successful in spreading this idea.

You get 300 grams of protein from shakes alone?

I use Supplement RX building blocks protein.
My gym gives me a good deal for it.  I can get 4 pounds of protein powder with a lot of pre-workout powder for $60.

Idk if it's the powder or me working out a lot and hard, but I have had at least two people I know say I look "jacked" or "big" over the past few months and I've been going at it hard for about 8 months now.  I gained around 13 pounds of muscle during the first month and a half of working out, but I haven't been able to gain any more since then.  Perhaps I'm not increasing my weights high enough... I don't want to injure myself, though, so I'm being a little cautious.

This is impossible, especially without steroids.

FYI - I understand what you mean, and that you made good gains - however, that number is much too high. I believe a gain of 1.5-2lbs lean muscle mass is the HIGHEST possible in professional athletes. This is well documented.
