any recommendations for protein powder?
how often should I take it & how many meals should I eat in a day ?
also is it true working out in bursts in a workout is better suited for a leaner ectomorph build such as myself as opposed to slow & steady weight lifting ?
Read the sticky (seriously).
1.5grams of protein per lb of bodyweight, whatever it takes to reach that daily.
Eat at a surplus, work out 4-5x a week.
blah blah blah, read sticky.

Myprotein impact whey - chocolate smooth is the /fit/ protein

wasn't aware it went that in depth I'll check it out, but to be sure 1.5g of protein per Ib for me would be around 220-230 grams of protein per day ?
>>41455545
<-- ?
>>41455627
Yep. 1.2 -> 1.5g per lb is what you're aiming for.
Also the whey you posted in you original post is fine, but there's plenty of good brands out there. I use the one you posted.
Also, look into Athlean-X on YouTube, maybe Scott Herman too (I like Athlean more though, better explanations). You can learn everything you need from that channel.
>>41455627
Yes that. Also that's way too much grams of protein. It's suppose to be 0.88-1g/lb...
>>41455695
That's too much protein it's useless

>1.5grams of protein per lb of bodyweight
what are you talking about? first of all, the meme is 1g/lb. second of all, it's bullshit. http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/
if you eat/drink more than 0.8g/lb of protein then you're literally pissing money away.

>metabolism is fast as fuck
pray tell how did you measure this?
>>41455721
Eeehhhh... Yeah actually I have to admit you're right. I don't think 1.2 is out of the question, but 1.5 is probably excessive. I've just heard those numbers from a lot of sources. Honestly I've never felt the need to actually measure out my daily totals.
OP just listen to your body and eat what feels right, just make sure you're gettin your leans.
>>41455721
Yeah, they're trolling You about how much protein. .88-1 g per lb is good for bulking. Also, milk should be a close friend. Chocolate milk made it enjoyable for me.

just that I'm a pretty skinny dude & get hungry after a meal fast lol.. is there an actual way to measure it or ?
>>41455805
the thing about that is I'm satisfied with a meal like halfway through eating it, when I continue to eat it just feels like.. I'm eating to eat, you know ? there are times that I need to basically overcome this feeling & force myself in a sense, right ?
>>41455809
didn't think about choclate milk, I'll keep that in mind lmao

it's your choice between MyProtien and Optimum Nutrition Gold
statistically speaking, MyP is better, but the difference is pretty negligible
I'm a ONG user and I love it
up to you OP
