It was the ads that always made me skeptical about how bogus the supplement industry is. I tried a bunch of different stuff, but would always focus on real food.I could stay all day here posting shit ads from Muscle Tech and others.
Yeah because cooking food in comparison to making a protein shake is so much harder
brb, cant be arsed cooking food but can be arsed to work out.
people who have this lazy mentality will always be fat slobs.
interesting, might be switching to ON....do they have a good chocolate flavor?
Not every day I can be arsed to grill chicken (which usually tastes like shit from day to day) or make an egg whites omelette.
There's really no point in making egg white omelettes unless you're a bit broken and prefer them. That particular bit of nutritional science has long since hit the wall.... thank god (I used to do the same, once upon a time).
Oh, and if your chicken tastes like shit you're doing it wrong
(Breasts for life!)
My chicken is fine. I just dislike how its flavour changes over time, specially if reheated. Yuk.
I also love egg white omelettes. What can I say.
Perhaps I'll try a different protein powder once my 5lb bag of Muscle Tech runs out, but my bench max has gone up 60 pounds in the past 10 months using no other supplements besides fish oil and a multivitaminMuscle Tech is the king of trash supplements and health claims. Maybe their protein is fine, but I doubt it.
I spend way too much money with you guys.I actually work for MyProtein and I can go through the details of what we put in our products.

Definitely not a proper diet lolGoing to make some assumptions here but it was most likely proper diet and training that contributed to that.
Just confirms what everyone already knew about a lot of these brands. ON 100%'s all I ever used once I knew better.
Hey smartass, I cook most of my food, but I can still find value in shakes and how convenient they are. Not every day I can be arsed to grill chicken (which usually tastes like shit from day to day) or make an egg whites omelette. Good isolates are also excellent for cutting and eating copious/frequent amounts of food may upset more than one stomach, not to mention drowsiness.
The fat slobs remark just goes on to show how off base you are.
eat real food.
That I can agree with.
Also, holy shit, some guys at Reddit made some HARDCORE LAB BROSCIENCE with American Whey's shitass powders and results were amazing. The company replied that they tested their powders using "certified professionals in a certified laboratory", but apparently said laboratory was nothing but a fake company created by the manufacturer so they could claim a % of purity.
Insanity.
Definitely not a proper diet lol
I was previously into weight lifting in high school and my bench max then was 255. I stopped working out all together for 6 years and over the course of that put on 40 pounds (230). When I started again 10 months ago, my max was an embarrassing 185. I'm not at 245, which is still disappointing since my 18 year old self was stronger than I am now at 25.
lmfao. Not eating 2,000kcal is apparently taking a placebo.
Did they give the other group chalk to eat instead of calories? I think you mean control, you massive asshats.
I'd actually love to be proven wrong on that and find that these people were eating some sort of fakery rather than real calories.
I spend way too much money with you guys.
Also, what the hell happened to your muffins? You only seem to sell the muffin mix now, but the pre-made muffins were delicious.

I eat a balanced high fibre diet with lots of raw fruit, vegetables, nuts, grilled meats, oily fish and pasta. Never had a protein shake in my life.
Am I doing it wrong?
Do you even lift?
It sounds like they're citing some study that has nothing to do with Mass Impact. In the study people that ate more gained more muscle. Then Mass Impact is saying eating Mass Impact is eating more, so more muscle.
ouch, might gotta switch up this syntha-6
This is what I don't like about this study. They lump everything that contains protein together.
Synta-6 looks to be marketed more as an MRP than a protein supplement. If people want pure protein, it's better to look one of the isolates, NOW ISO, Dymatize ISO, ON Hydro
Let's break this down a little
Synta-6 serving size is advertised as 47 grams
Label indicates 6 grams of fat, 22 grams of protein and 15 grams of carbs total of 43 grams of macros, which leaves 4 grams of filler, most likely the cocoa powder, artificial sweeteners and lechitin.
Checking the labdoor website, they measured 20.4 grams of protein per serving, compared to 22 grams advertised, that's pretty good.
The data they present can give you a lot of information, but I am afraid it's being interpreted the wrong way.
The post workout chicken isn't really a meal but a snack ,a quick way to get protein in my system once I've worked out, I prefer to wait a while after my workout for a heavier meal.
I've also found a way to cook my meals ahead of time for the week. Basically I spend a couple hours on Sunday preparing and freezing my meals for the week ahead.
I hit up Costco and get 8 lbs of chicken breast, I butcher that myself and grill it into 6 ounce portions, freeze it in ziplock freezer bags. Defrost as needed the night before in the fridge.
4 or 5 crowns of broccoli get steamed for 20 minutes then immediately frozen to go with the grilled chicken.
Also get 4 lbs of ground turkey and make a turkey meatloaf out of that which I cook with broccoli on the inside of it and root vegetables such as sweet potato, beets, and turnips in the roasting pan.
Another 3lbs of grass fed ground beef which I will make chili with, throw in random veggies
I'll also cook about 2 cups of steel cut oats, fill up mason jars and seal them up in the fridge with some walnuts for the week.
The prep work is under 2 hours with cutting up veggies and preparing the chicken, the rest of the stuff like oatmeal, chili, and meatloaf cook themselves.
The only thing I end up having to cook daily are my eggs to go with the oatmeal for breakfast. If I eat out I usually go to a portugese bbq and get half roasted chickens with vegetables or some kind of grilled fish.
Full disclosure, it's winter now, and I'm not as strict with the diet as I tend to get from February - August.

I actually work for MyProtein and I can go through the details of what we put in our products.
The standard impact whey concentrate that we sell is literally just whey protein concentrate that we get from a supplier and a concentrated powdered flavour mixed together.
The banana powdered flavour is extremely strong so we don't add as much of that as we do with the other flavours, so that has a higher protein content than other flavours.
We obviously don't use powdered flavour in the unflavoured IWC so that has an even higher protein content than the flavoured varieties.
Every single batch is quality checked (including a taste test) to ensure it meets our "gold standard".
It's the same deal with the impact whey isolate that we sell.
Since we're based in the UK, we have to abide by the UK FSA (along with many other agencies).
Whey protein is considered a food here, not a supplement so we do keep a high standard in our production.
I've no idea. We normally get the premade muffins/bars/cookies from a supplier and then dispatch them out. A few months back we did get a dodgy batch of toffee muffins from our supplier, so maybe we stopped selling them after that.
The MyProtein whey is sourced from Glanbia, correct? Same company that own ON..
That is a looot of meat. I eat a pound of chicken on off-days and that plus cottage cheese are still not enough to fill my protein macros. So I have to drink 1-2 scoops of protein every day. Would cook more but cleaning dishes already takes too much time from me
Don't get me wrong. It's a good amount of work but its easy to stick to a diet when you have all your meals ready to go.
If I have protein its first thing in the morning or some casein before bed.
