Fabbers since new year new start restrictions lifting people back to their activities, let's talk about diet.
I had a thought earlier which promots my first question, what kind of protein do people buy that one can add to a beverage? I have heard of people doing it and i have tried with the protein i use and nope it doesn't work the consistency ends up all lumpy. Anyone know?   |

Are you taking it for post-workout or just to boost your protein intake..
Always best to get it through your nutritional intake of your meals, but if you don't like the powdered drinks you could always eat protein puddings |

Thank you actual i got an idea from that i could just shake it first with water then add to the hot drink. Good woman yourself why didn't think of that before. Sugar is my down fall i can cut carbs easily enough. I just thought of a good idea why not add protein to your whisky lol. |

Carbs are good for you though, don't cut them out too much or you'll attack a bakery for all the bread
Scrap that, I'll come along to make sure no one gets in the way of your refeed |

Why do you need to take protein powder? Why not eat more foods full of protein?
Avonmore do a fantastic protein milk which has 21g of protein in it. I’d highly recommend it. |

Why buy Avonmore protein milk and not just get your protein from food?  |

Because i can't eat as much as i need and have poor digestion so protein shakes work i make them with water because i don't like to have to much milk, i add berries, banana, spinach and other fruits depending on what's there. I will check out that milk though sounds good thanks. |

"Aldi do Skyr Icelandic yogurt pots and pouches that are high in protein 10-12g and the Brooklea yogurt is 25g...Great snacks!"
These are a great source, you should be able to match all dietary needs from natural protein food sources, the powders are convenient so of course heavily processed and there are impacts on your digestion, liver and kidneys, they are a short term rather than long term thing. I'd talk to a nutritionist rather than a swingers chat forum for health advice. |

I am not looking for a nutritionist i actually have one but only spoke once with her so far, just chatting about diet because i enjoy it. I know what my digestion issue it has been diagnosed and i will not go into is here but there's no quick fix to it. Yes convenience suits me with protein powder everyone to there own way if doing it. |

"Protein milk is good.Its cheap and has 50g protein per litre.How many grams of protein do you need per day?"
Not sure must check again but am sure it's 45/60grams it does change with the amount of training as well. I just remember it was two or three times a day. But i get as much with food as i can but sometimes with the busy schedule it's doesn't work out to be prepared all the time every single day.

So if I weigh 64kg and I am strength training 3 or 4 times a week to build muscle, I need about 110grams of protein a day! Id say I struggle to get in 50 or 60.
Whats the upshot of not eating enough protein? Is it that you will never build the muscle? |

You need to eat calories and protien to build muscle. You should be eating around 2100 cals a day maybe 2300. You can't build muscle unless your in a calori3 surplus. Protein helps with repair the muscle and allowing it to grow. Forget the protein if your not eating enough calories you'll never grow muscles. |

Ah ok, im trying to stay in a calorie deficit to loose fat. Combining cardio and the weights to build muscle and cut weight at same time. Might be wasting my time  |

Not fully sure that's correct, I read its unlikely and hard to do but possible. But yeah it's obviously better to be in a surplus for building. Though I'd still say being in a deficit whilst hitting your protein target will at least maintain muscle... hopefully
And OP why don't you get a plant based protein shake... digestive issues are usually down to dairy and whey and casein can have a bad effect on some people |

Being in a deficit whilst hitting a protein target will still result in muscle loss. |

Won't matter. Deficit for loss
Maintenance for maintaining and surplus for gains. Those are the 3 stages. Ideally want to be spending as little time as possible in a deficit. |

Tuna , blend that into your coffee in the morning.
Protein keeps you fuller for longer and it actually helps lose weight because of the thermic effect of food and the presence of nitrogen on the protein,makes it slightly harder for the body to breakdown than carbs which have the same amount of calories, 4 per gram.Fat is the daddy , it has 9 per gram but if you gave an abundance you store it instead of using it as fuel.
As for sugar and craving it, it's like most addictions, will power and goals will help. It is the body's preferred source of energy and the problem we have is it's too easily available and absorbable.
As for adding protein to your whiskey , whiskey sour, the whites of the egg contain nearly all the protein and none of the fat, although the alcohol contains 7calories per gram and it's easily absorbed.
Only joking about the tuna. |

Off course its possible....if someone is looking to improve there body in some way and if they have excess bodyfat then yes you need to be in a caloric deficit...nothing major...300-500 calories below maintainence and yes keep your protein high....as domeone said atleast 1 gram per lb of bodyweight...protein keeps you full longer,takes more energy to breakdown(thermogenic)and feeds your muscle.
Do your cardio and resistant training...eat well within reason...dont fret over everything...enjoy the journey
But def if you do those things you will see changes in weeks,months...may it be a drop in dress size...some shape changes...baby steps  |

I personally use bodybuildingwarehouse whey80....they slways have %deals on every week/month so ya can get it for like 50-60% off...i never do shakes...dont fill ya tbh...i put it in my breakfasts...may it be porridge/cream of rice or french toast...aswell as a scoop in a cup of greek yogart for the flavour boost and the extra 20-25gm protein ontop of the 15 in the low fat yogart...mix in some berries.
Even shake a scoop or 2 in 300ml or water then pour that over your cereal of choice...theres an extra 40-50gm of easy digesting flavoured protein and say 200-240 calories(if using water) depending on your protein powder nutrition figures |

But def if you do those things you will see changes in weeks,months...may it be a drop in dress size...some shape changes...baby steps
Is there an easier way which doesn’t involve any lifestyle changes or work?
Asking for a friend…..
Nope..its all on you tbh.
Little changes and mini milestones and goals on your journey
Small changes make a big difference..try n get into a routine wgere it becomes basically a normal thing u do and enjoy,and work on you for you "
Got to be honest with you, not the answer I for was hoping for….. 
But I do appreciate the input and advice, it’s the one thing I do have control over
I’ve been guilty of over rewarding myself for being good till it’s just a trade off between one and the other and nothing really gained….
By the way, what’s your take on grapes?
I’ve an awful weakness for them, a 500g serving is quite common…….
Is it a thumbs up or down for them?……. |

Ah ok, im trying to stay in a calorie deficit to loose fat. Combining cardio and the weights to build muscle and cut weight at same time. Might be wasting my time
Without being blunt you really are. It's not scientifically possible to do both at the same time.
Off course its possible....if someone is looking to improve there body in some way and if they have excess bodyfat then yes you need to be in a caloric deficit...nothing major...300-500 calories below maintainence and yes keep your protein high....as domeone said atleast 1 gram per lb of bodyweight...protein keeps you full longer,takes more energy to breakdown(thermogenic)and feeds your muscle.
Do your cardio and resistant training...eat well within reason...dont fret over everything...enjoy the journey

If your doing the exercise eating well and not getting anywhere then 500g of grapes could be the 300-400kcals that make the difference in loss.
Of you are having them as a daily extra treat.
I'm just saying cause the same thing caught me back in the day I used to eat about the same amount frozen every evening as a not of a treat.
I trained myself to not crave that post 8pm snack anymore just by lowering portions and distracting myself with more active stuff in the evening than to.
It's not that the grapes were bad it was that I was using them to kill boredom than anything I didn't need that extra food and don't miss them now. |

This is my big let down is tracking calories i find it's to much work trying to find the items and put them in and just thinking about it all the time. I tried and every time i gave up after a few days of it. |
