Protein ideas

[Toasted1]

Besides shakes what to you guys eat to get a lot of protein in, my usuals are almonds, yogurt, peanut butter, milk and sometimes string cheese besides the obvious shitload of lean meats.

Shakes are pretty good when I make them in the blender but at work I don't have access to one so breakfast is usually the only time I have to make a shake and would prefer a big breakfast of eggs etc than a shake.

[farmerehsan]

bannanas, i kno meats do but then its breakfast

[Toasted1]

no protein in bananas or at least not much

[UCP]

I've got some protein for ya....

Tuna. Tuna has a shit load of protein. My doctor recommended I eat a lot of it if I planned on doing any physical activity. (My metabolism is really fast... so, if I don't eat before or after strenuous physical activity, my muscles get really sore, and I've even had DOMS a few times. (When it feels like your muscles are dying and they tighten up.) It especially used to happen when I skateboarded. My body didn't have the protein to repair the muscle. lulz@meh.

[Captain Ahab]

Eggs, egg whites, turkey, whole wheat bread, cottage cheese, deer meat, lean beef, chicken, tuna, tilapia, brown rice, milk, fat free cheese.

And ON Whey Protein.

Staples of my protein intake.

[slim8605]

Isn't too much tuna bad for you though?

[UCP]

If it's a large, long living breed it can have a higher concentration of mercury.

Cottage cheese and sunflower seeds are my favorite alternative methods.

[farmerehsan]

non salted seeds right?

Yeah.

i try to drink low fat milk a lot. i'll also have a bagel w/ peanut butter. i think each bagel has like 9 grams of protein and peanut butter adds up too.

[junior]

Assorted nuts(yeah, yeah insert joke here!) are good protein sources, are great for CLA's and EFA's as well. As shitty as it tastes, tofu is high in protein. Home made jerky is a quick way to get protein as well. When I compete, I take dry cottage cheese and mix in some Crystal light powder, and it tides me over any time I have a craving for something.

[pl8er]

Most of the big ones have been mentioned here (nuts, poultry, tuna, etc). Can you buy a blender for work? Or is that not possible? GREAT protein shake:

2 cups of skim milk
3 scoops of protein
1 heaping scoop of peanut butter
1 scoop of ovaltine
1 banana
Some crushed ice

Enjoy :)

I drink a lot of the boost low glucose shakes (16g protein, 3-4g sugar) and steak thats practically raw.

I do this for different reasons than you guys, but i have noticed its put mass on my body... which has not been the intention.

[pl8er]

What reason is that? You are a rather frail fellow.

[Sex Cells]

blood sugar. i need a lot of protein and carbs to make it through the day too. when i was boxing i would just make a lot of protein shakes. aside from having to shit twice a day it was pretty nice.

[pl8er]

Do you have diabetes or just a really really active metabolism?

[Sex Cells]

Do you have diabetes or just a really really active metabolism?

i'm hypoglycemic and i have a very active metabolism. which is only compounded by me constantly running around and lifting shit at work. running in the morning, etc. etc.

i have the same problems if i just sit on my ass at home though.

Protein won't do much to raise your blood sugar. Take in complex carbs to burn throughout the day(rice, potatoes, bagels, etc.) Simple carbs(fruits, vegetables, sugars) will raise your sugars quickly, but won't last too long.

i dont eat fruits, they make me crash. carbs help, but dont have any legs. i have to have protein or i get weak and dizzy.

the natural peanut butter works pretty well. the stuff dillons sells tends to only have a few grams of sugar per serving.

[Sex Cells]

i honestly am not sure how much it has to do with my blood sugar, but the symptoms of hypoglycemia tend to parallel to mine.

Gotcha. Protein will actually help slow down carbs from being burnt up in your body. So that makes sense. Breads and grains should help as well.

Sorry if I sounded like an ass. I'm a diabetic, so I kind of understand where you're coming from.

Have you been diagnosed? You might actually have a condition there. This will sound fucking weird, but if you don't eat a bunch of food does your piss turn dark almost like Dr. Pepper? The guy I lift with is 42 eats 7 times a day, takes in a 900 calorie shake just to maintain 154.4 lbs. Eat 8 times and he may see 155 (it is the most he has EVER weighed). If he drops to 2 or 3 meals, not only does his piss turn pop colored but he will just start losing weight. I'll find out the name of it if for some weird ass reason you have dark urine. Cause its an actual condition.

[dragnix]

i heard semen has protein, wanna drink some of mine?


Why the need to take extra protein though? Unless you do some endurance shit the extra protein won't help much

[pl8er]

Although semen does have protein, it is a VERY small amount. It is actually less than a single egg white.

[pl8er]

I'm actually forcing myself to drink down this shake right now before bed which is why I'm sitting in the office talking with you fine chaps.

[dragnix]

I see you have experience in this area. No fair comparing it to egg whites, which has lots of protein

Normally try for around 11-11:30, but I have a supplier coming in and the account they are trying for is worth a tad over 2 million. So I need my A game.

[dragnix]

good luck with that

[pl8er]

good luck with that

Thanks! I appreciate that. Kinda easy when you are the buyer, but the trick is to get them into a mode of desperation so they feel like they need to start low balling just to get my attention. Lock them for at least a year and save some money. I want a 15% reduction. I realize you don't care about any of this, but it helps me to think about it right before bed.

And my shake is gone ....whew

he is in sales of certain industrial equipment and some buyers are straight idiots. :fuckoff: like i said though only some buyers.

Your dad would love me. I'm highly educated on my material and very willing to give up information. I don't play the hold back info game.

Ended up with about 22% reduction in price on the main material and almost FIFTY! on the other. Go me.

Not weird at all. But no, there is little variation in my urine. Nothing that would raise a flag, certainly nothing i could derive a correlation from.

And thats really the problem. Finding correlations. I've noticed that if i eat a lot of protein and carbs, i have energy more consistently. If i cut out sugar, i dont crash near as often.

Now i'm trying to figure out why caffeine will have me buzzed sometimes, and not do shit others.

The energy from protein and carbs make sense because the protein sustains the carbs longer in your system. Sugars will make you crash because simple sugars break down very quickly, which will give you a quick rush, but burns very fast, causing you to crash.

As far as the caffeine, it could be in relations to you hydration. Caffeine is a natural diuretic. If your not hydrated properly, the caffeine can play tricks to your body.

It may have something to do with your digestion system. Might want to ask your doctor to do some tests to see if he can find something. Just a thought.

Glad I came back to this thread. I'll get the name of the disorder. Urine is just a tell sign, not the only one. You show some of the other symptoms. Good news is that its nothing life threatening. More than likely you will just be very skinny your entire life (if you had this). I'm emailing him now.

Yeah it sucks LOL...he lived with me for awhile and he would come out of the bathroom, walk to the kitchen grab a candy bar and start eating. I'd just look at him and he would say "my piss is brown" LOL

[Sex Cells]

I have a bit of muscle on my body, its really defined too because i cant retain fat. People ask me if i run a lot, i tell them my aids is bringing my abs in.

[pl8er]

Same with my buddy Chris. He lifts with me and is all shredded muscle. If he could get past 155 and up into the 180's, he could be pro...i kid you not.

We are in the end of bulking and he is 8% body fat. Normally he is right around 4-5%

[Sex Cells]

Its really hard for me to put on mass. Its pretty much whatever my body decides. when i was around 16 i got upto 160 (i was 5'6) and thats the biggest ive ever been. that required me constantly eating and drinking shakes

[willyg4444]

Home made jerky is a quick way to get protein as well. When I compete, I take dry cottage cheese and mix in some Crystal light powder, and it tides me over any time I have a craving for something.

When I was a non-fatty I had cottage cheese every night with a 10 calorie jello pack mixed in. Took care of my sweet tooth. I also used to eat a lot of black beans for protein with brown rice

[Captain Ahab]

I'm gonna have to try that crystal light/jello powder mix.

Same reason why people with cancer continue to work. You don't stop lifting because you have a disorder. He still wants to be fit and have a bigger frame. Just takes more work for him.

i have no clue. I got 365lbs last March, this week a year ago in fact. I'm 12 lbs lighter now though. A good bit more lean. haven't strength trained in close to a year. I figure i could get about 350, i'm 188lbs now.

Its weird, I have lost strength on my flat bench, but not my squats?

You'll lose strength quicker in upper body movements than lower body movements because your wrist and elbow joints are smaller than your knees. When you start losing weight, you lose water and fat in your joints which act as lubricant, so you have more friction happening in them.
