hi, I'm new in bodybuilding. i used to drink protein but i think it's too expensive. can i just eat egg whites? like some 8 ,9 eggs one day? is that enough? plus i'll eat chicken meat during lunch and dinner. not really big amount but it's like 1 or 2 dishes of the 3 dishes i eat together with rice is chicken. sometimes during weekend i'll take more chicken. is that sufficient?

haha... most important question i guess is... how heavy are u? =.= if u are very heavy, then its definitely not enough! if u r around 50kg, it may be ok. 8-9eggs, protein would be roughly 30g. ur lunch and dinner, if u can get 70-80g then it will be just nice for ur 50kg. but if u weigh much heavier, then haha... sorry to say, its not enough at all

If you're 60kg. 60 x 2.2 = 132 right? Then 132g per day of protein

well, if u dont have money to even eat eggs, then bro... sorry, no one can really help u. eggs are the cheapest source of protein. if u want to get supplements like whey, its up to ur budget and ur need. if u all also cant get, then slowly gain ur size la. eat wat u can, and just let nature do its course. no one can give u any help on this. wat u need to repair ur muscles after workouts are proteins. one piece of chicken? gosh... we do not eat chicken wing or drumsticks here for goodness sake. u need protein, and get it from breastmeat pls... drumstick and wings? big no no... coz, they are lesser compared to breast meat. breast meat probably 20-30g depending on size as well.

Depends on ur lifestyle, i dont really think money on food is the major issue. even if u consume 20 - 30g of protein tats like 100g of chicken so.... 1 week u only need like RM100 for all ur protein source and 1 month it is like RM400 -RM500 only, it is fairly cheap thou.

Wee...started taking AnimalPak. Took it after breakfast as I read that it will slow down absorption and that the infamous neon green piss will not be so obvious. Definitely hard to swallow those big pills, total 11 pills to swallow, some big some small. Drank a lot of water to I do not want to see neon green piss or dark yellow piss. So far so good, just clear but very light green/yellow piss. Anyone out there tried AnimalPak also?
