So Iv started using muscle moose (cheap from b&m) towards the end of the month, while awaiting payday 😂 but stick to my usual the first few weeks.
What’s everyone’s thoughts, if any on muscle moose? It tastes nice, doesn’t seem to mix to well with water, but not sure of the results as of yet…. |

You would get a lot more benefit from a high protine diet and it's cheaper |

Salmon (when it's cheap), tuna, chicken, steak, raw eggs, and as a reserve I take casein blend whey protein shakes (strawberry flavour). Get them cheap sometimes on the bodybuilding warehouse website. Been taking them for about 8 years. Although I love a juicy slab of prime beef steak.  |

"Never tried it, but then about 98% of my protein intake comes from food rather than supplements. "
I get what I can from food, and usually I’m good. Currently on a cut and struggling to hit my protein, just want the shakes to give that final boost |

"OP. Never understand the before/after payday scenario. You know your incomings v outgoings. If the cheap stuff is ok to put in your body that's what you use all month. If if not then why use it"
That’s the idea of the post, to get other’s opinions on it, have only just started using it and what their results have been |

What areas are you falling short on? Protein?
Try this;
200 grams - Arla Strawberry Skyr Yoghurt.
50 grams of Raspberries
10 grams honey
For that, the Macro’s work out at;
18.4 grams Protein
24 grams Carbs
0 grams fat
It’s my go to when I’m short on my macro’s, and it’s damn tasty! 😁 |

Food sources over supplements. However it depends what your after taste Vs cost. Generally the pricey ones taste alot better. However keep an eye on the ingredients list making sure it's as short as possible avoiding fillers etc. |

"You can get everything you'll ever need from a sensible diet of normal food.
As a bonus, you wont get the thrupenny bits that most people suffer from when taking protein shakes."
I need about 160-200g of protein a day, when I go to the gym, again, and I'll start in a few weeks, I'll need over 200g of protein a day. Already, it's insane for me to get the protein I need without forcing tons of chicken or tuna down my neck.
I need protein shakes to be able to get my protein up in a more enjoyable way.
MyProtein do a salted caramel mouse that actually tastes like a delicious mouse, in a 200g pot, that has only 200 calories and has 20g of protein.
Because you can usually get them on offer, I have the "For Goodness Shake" shakes, which I can often pick up for £1.25 which have 35g of protein. |

"Mackerel is a good one if your diet is fat friendly.
£1.30
18g protein
12g fat bundles of omega3
0g carbs"
Personally I'm running a deficit. I love smoked mackerel but it is very calotific so I have to be very careful. And with tuna, I have to be careful again because of Mercury. But Basa is a great way to get low fat high protein fish that is not full of mercury and isn't expensive.
I quite like smoked basa in an omlette. Or used in a fish pie. |

Exactly this! I’m trying to get in around 200g of protein while staying in a deficit, I’m eating what I can, but without spending a small fortune, the shakes help to bump it to what I need |

I just start starting using it for similar lar reasons.
I use it as a quick breakfast when I'm running late in the morning, which is quite often.
I have mine with milk, 1 banana, 3 x eggs, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, a handful of nuts and a teaspoon of manuka honey.
Is it any good? Fucked if I know?
But it tastes great and fills me up until I get to work or the gym. |

I can just about do it, but it's hard, because you literally get to the point I'm forcing food down my neck.
but also remeber the thermic effect of food (TEF). It's why you get meat sweats. Whilst all the calories of fat will become calories for energy in your body, and 90% of carbs, your body will burn 20-30% of the calories of protein to turn it into energy stores.
So you can eat a little bit more in calories and still be in a net deficit, even if your gross seems tight.
I'm in general cutting 500-750 calories a day and still managing to get my protein, but it is hard.
Stay away from the protein bars because they are higher in calories. Basa is great. Remember not to look at protein per 100g, look at protein per calorie. Chicken isn't always the best option, and sometimes you are sick of it.
