what would be the best timing to consume?
i have lunch at 1 and gym at 530 - dinner at 8
sometimes already hungry before hitting the gym

hmm.. one is whey and the other is BCAA.

but, if you are comparing Dymatize Elite Whey and ON Gold Standard 100% Whey (still with BCAA though), I would pick Gold Standard due to its taste & texture. It may be bland but its flexible to be consumed with just water or milk. very thin making it easy to gulp. Dymatize on the other hand, a bit too sweet and thick.

great. will test both of them and review thereafter.

you can take it anytime to supplement your protein intake. if you follow broscience and consume after your workout, you will probably eat less real food for dinner at 8pm (coz tummy is filled with brotein whey).

if you are hungry, eat fruit as snack 1-2hrs before workout. i prefer something carby as it gives more oomph.

It depends on your weight.

For example, you're a 150lbs guy, so you should consume 150g of protein a day. However, the maximum amount of protein our body could absorb is only up to 60% and the rest goes into your sh*t.

So my recommendation is taking 2 scoops a day is good enough. Unless you're a skinny guy then take mass gainer, but you need to work hard.

Preferrable time to consume, morning when you wake up cause your body will have more time to break the compounds and 30 minutes window after post workout, the reason is meanwhile your blood is pumping hard in your body the absorbtion is better.

Hungry or not before going to gym is not an issue. The issue here is what are you consuming and is it giving you enough energy?

so does that mean that after taking protein shake, i wil not need to have my ordinary meal if i am full?

assuming if i need to take 2 scoops, can i break it to 1 scoops in the morning and 1 at night after work out? what about water level for 1 and 2 scoops?

as the rest goes into sh*t. does that make our sh*t hard?

By priority
1) Food quality in a day
2) Total calories count a day
3) Macros count a day
4) Train
5) Sleep
6) Meal timing

Don't shit yourself by looking at the small thing before you get to see the big picture. Focus on how many grams of protein you optimally need to take, what kind of food that makes up the whole count, etc, before thinking when to eat them for best result.

TQ bro for your tips. I have been working out and can see some muscles. just wish to see a better muscle grown.

just to check if 5lb whey, 2 servings per day. can last for how many days? how many servings are there in 5lb?

Haha.

i am new to nutri. have been focusing in working out only.

lets see if supp can push me to a better level of body shape

Read the nutritional label. Or use a calculator to divide. You 5lbs and my 5lbs might be different. The whey package you bought might be crap with loads of fillers and mine is definitely not.

Supps is not going to push you to a better level if you do not know what you are eating the rest of your day. Looking at your posts from other topic, you do not know what you are eating. Fix those, before you waste money on your supps. Supplements are meant to be supplements to what you cannot get enough from your real food. Identify your real food, then think about supplements.

Guys,

Anyone knows the difference between ASPEC Whey vs Gold Standard Whey from ON?

whats aspec?
i can only find 1 instance of it thru search, and seems to be titled wrongly...as it looks the same as the typical 1.8lbs pack.

so yea...apart from the minor differences in the composition...all ON claims is the non-gold mixes easier...

Right.. Seems like not much of a different.

Anyway, I have some good deals 4.5lbs + 1.8bs + a ON Towel for RM139 from RM240 (100% Genuine)

Stay tune! I will post up the link here. haha

Since it's the same, this is a much cheaper option to go for compared to Gold Standard..

Boys,

It's time to stock up your whey protein!

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/optimum-...s448609200.html

This is not Gold Standard but the ASPEC Whey Version as per shared by Everdying

Are you sure the surprise bo x(RM99) is ASPEC Whey non Gold version? Sounds too good to be true.
Read the Q&A, the seller said it could be gainer or whey.. Hmmmm

But thanks for the link anyway

same seller, but this package is quite good.
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/optimum-...267dY31rQ5&mp=3

im just confused on the seller, cos i see their website says they're based in ireland...
so prices are like too good to be true especially when u factor in shipping etc for something so heavy.

Gonna take a leap on this, fingers crossed.

Trust me guys, I know what's inside. haha

Return that damn thing if it's a gainer

But this is not bad too

Use ONBDAY code RM188 with RM15 off. Final price landing at RM173

Glanbia Performance Nutrition is a legit nutrition store like GNC.
