I always see threads on creatine, but not on this shit.
Anyone use it?
Does it actually help?
What are the benefits?
Useless garbage.

I go to the gym at 4am i eat breakfast before but i still can't get enough calories at that time of morning to get me through a workout so i use bcaa as energy while I'm working out.
I take LMAO 2 SCOOPS a day, one breakfast and one evening. Seems to help me maintain mussel better when on a cut, and don't lose my pump as quickly when not.

Most powdered protien contains a full profile of bcaas

Interdasting... Do you hit your protein macros?
>>41123342
pfft duh. You think I'm some kind of nutrionlet?
>>41123367
Just asking cuz according to the others if you hit your protein macros it shouldn't matter, only one way to find out tho.
>>41123471
I can hit 200g of brotein a day at 900 - 1500 calories and I still burn through muscle p fast at that point. Protein is most certainly not the only factor.
>>41123521
mirin, wtf you eating so protein based
>>41123537
That was just a hypothetical... Or rather, it's what did for two cuts that were both disasters because calories were too low. But it was literally just brotein powder and water or brotein powder and milk.
>>41123521
I struggle to even get to 90g a day with 3 scoops and usually 4 eggs minimum for just protein on a 2000 cal diet, how does one 200g a day?
>>41123611
Eat more meat my nigga
>>41123521
>900 cals a day
>200g protons a day
>>41123660
I'm so fucking poor.
I saw a good deal on soylent so i pretty much got 5 months of food for 180 dollars. I feel fuckin great and its easy to track calories but not enough protons.
>>41123611
6 meals a day
Double scoop shake plus cheerios wake up
8 eggs plus oat meal 4 hours later
8 oz chicken plus rice plus 12 oz milk
Double scoop shake plus pretzels after lift
6 oz ground beef plus bread and veggies dinner
Any mixture of the above before I go to bed
BCAAs are useless unless you're a vegan, in which case add some taurine too and don't forget the extra creatine too.
t. vegan
>>41123611
more scoops breh
>hurr but protein powder is so expensive :((
No it's fucking not, myprotein sells 11lb bags for $65 before shipping. That's 32 cents for one 20g scoop.
>>41123680
Soylent or similar meal replacment smoothie things make great breakfasts and launches and are very good to replace 2/3 of your diet but eating this stuff 100% is depressing.
>>41123755
I know and i have an 11 lbs bag of strawberry cream and its fucking fantastic, but it seems... unnatural? more than 5 scoops of protein a day cant possibly be healthy
>>41123771
yeh it is... but it was so cheap + no prep/dish cleanup its kinda awesome, got the nectar which is not too bad so it could be worse i usually have at least one normal meal a day + proton shake.
>>41123809
It's literally the only way to hit 200g protein if you want to keep calories low but also don't want to spend half the day prepping and eating.
>>41123680
I wish we had soylent in aus
>>41122846
>>41123611
>egg whites
>kidney beans
>lmao1scoop
>chicken breast
>greek yogurt
Also I don't believe you. Fuck off you're getting less than 100g on 2000 kCal. 3 scoops alone is over 60g.
>>41123972
I don't have any of the foods you listed except eggs frendo, I usually 2 scoops and eggs which are usually available, but its a struggle. Maybe 2 bottles of soylent a day for 40g of protein and whatever else is laying around usually comes to about 2000 calories and a bit under 100g of protons for me
Not gonna lie I feel stronger if I take them 20 mins before workout. *if and only if I haven't had anything to eat in about 5 hrs and don't have time to eat* I swear I feel better or stronger or some shit. Sometimes I have to work out after work around 5. But my lunch time at work is 1130.
>>41123740
Elaborate?
>>41124063
Drink milk you soylent chugging faggot.
>>41124238
I'm lacktoad intolerant mother fucker.
>TFW still drink milk, but i can only drink it when i know im not gonna go out for at least a day or 2 or else my stomach growls like a fucking toad, gas out the ass, diarrhea every 10 mins.
You have no idea frendo, what i would give to have milk and cereal whenever i would like.
