Have you tried taking protein powder along with your diet? Depending on how much you want to gain and the type of shake you get, you'd probably want to drink one within 20 mins of a weightlifting session and one a day in the morning.
- yummyfajitas 16y agoI will try this - I've already tried eating more eggs/beans, and my diet is primarily rice and veggies right now. Can you recommend any particular brand/kind of protein powder/shake? Google gives me a bunch of spammy looking sites that I don't really trust.
- eru 16y agoIf you don't care to drink lots and lots of fluids, then you can just as well drink a few (say, 4) litres of milk a day. If you do the maths, you will find that there's a sizeable amount of proteins to be had this way.
- Gormo 16y agoA cup or two of lowfat plain yogurt will provide as much protein as a typical shake, and is a much more healthful option.
- sbov 16y ago1 scoop of many whey proteins provide 20+ grams of protein. If you throw 2 scoops thats 40 grams. Most yogurts don't even approach this. Then add milk, peanut butter, etc. Some people also mix their whey with other things, such as in their oatmeal. You can just eat more yogurt, but a lot of people go the shake route because its a lot easier to drink large amounts of protein than eat it.
- eru 16y agoQuark is a pretty decent source of protein (casein). I often put quark, milk and fruits (and oat meal) in a blender to make my own shakes. At least when I am too lazy to prepare a proper meal.
