I have not tried protein b4, thinking of getting casein and whey protein as supplements.

But i have no clue whr to start, hoping you guys who take protein often could shed some light onto this, whr and which particular product shud i go for?

How much and how long can a tub of protein powder lasts?

Thanks in advance~

you have to read on how many servings per tub it has. thats how long it lasts.


Chow

check on the packing..

like ON Gold Standard 100% Whey 10lbs, 154 servings..

hey depends on what u want if u wanna gain some serious mass take those casein, mass gainer proteins. Brands like muscle juice and universal are not bad. But if u want to maintain ur weight and build muscle try whey protein. How long a tub last depends how often u use it if u take 4 to 5 scoops a week, 2months or more look at the weiht of the tub. And look at its serving size how much protein and carbs etc it has in 1 scoop(per serving). And for price you couldnt pick a better time usually the have sales near the end of the year, try going to egonutrition, they usually have the best price. Avoid GNC thats just an expensive brand. Goodluck hope this helps

thanks for the info, btw how much does it cost for 154 servings?

Thanks for all the input, will definitely pay ego@curve a visit then.. never thought it would be so expensive...

Currently training without protein supplements... will results be loads better if i train while taking protein supps?

ermm try musclejuice rm100++ after disc egonutrition subang parade.my friend just bought he is also tryna gain mass, try cookies and cream flavour. yeah it will be but remember these are all just supplements at the end of the day you musnt skip meals especially if u wanna gain weight try high carb and high protein diet. Results by 1 week can see weight difference, if you train correctly and gradually with 3meals a day and complete rest, in a month you can SEE results.

so everyday eat how many scoops? 1 scoop of protein powder + milk? water can also rite?

so if 1 scoop = 20g , so 1 day i nid to drink 7 scoops? according to my weight i think it is recommended that i drink 140gs of protein a day..

7 scoops?? Lolz I think something's wrong there

haha then how does it work im 70kg, suppose to eat 140grams per day if im not mistaken?

1-1.5g per lb of bodyweight. So you would need a minimum of 154g a day. (1g/lb) And whey is a supplement, meaning you use it to add onto the protein you consume from REAL food, ie meat, eggs, milk, etc.

yeah, no need for you to take 7 servings of your whey..
balance your food intake to your daily protein needs..

mass gainers such as muscle juice has about 55 grams of proteins out of 58 or 60 grams not sure. It says take 4scoops but since its ur first time take max 2 scoops per day after workout, during rest days are up to you whether u want to take or not. Better mix with milk, helps u gain weight faster, plus mix with water it just tastes weird. warning a shaker will also cost you another 20 or less jus a heads up. Try cooking ur own meals like buy fish fillets(dory), chicken fillet(breast as it contains more protein from supermarkets very cheap. cooking part very simple and easy find recipes on9, this is a better alternative to high protein meals as alternatives o buying food try kfc, get the breast as breast contains most protein. LOL no seriously check their nutrition fact their breasts contains about 30+ grams of protein, so far its the most cheapest way to get protein besides cooking urself. And once u've gotten to ur desired healthy weight, please change ur diet back to a normal high protein diet, during bulking up phase u can eat anything no worries but once u have ur achieved size and weight ur going to have to change ur diet, but thats a long way from now.

Thanks for the input, btw my priority right now is to gain muscle mass. I eat quite alot already and trains 4days a week. On rest days i do cardio.

It would help if u guys would be kind enough to recommend me some supplements such as type and brand of the supplement that can help me? Thanks alot sifus

I am 175cm tall and 71Kg right now, been training intensively for more than 6months now without eating supplements.

What type of supplements to add into my diet would you guys recommend for me then? (dont think i wan weight gainer as i weight reasonably heavy now i think)

try whey and sounds like ur training is enough maybe try to cutdown gym hours 3times a week(but make each session intense and aim for more reps per set,the last few reps are what really matters, and less cardio walking for 15mins is enough for now. And have proper rest try not to sleep late, get enough and proper rest for ur body.

Thanks for the good advise!

Ah thanks dude I gained some info from you too
