I like chocolate for any kind of protein I use, but that's personal preferrence. The powder in bulk tends to be cheaper and you avoid the thickening agents in pre-mixed drinks i.e. oils, Carrageen, etc. Creatine can mix with anything! Like Couch mentioned you can choose to stay away from it if you wish, it's not vital. I use it without any side effects. DON'T eat steaks...U'd have to eat like 30 of them to get a useable amount of creatine. Not to mention red meats are high in saturated fats and Cholesterol! www.dpsnutrition.net! Quick and reliable! GNC sucks, they're overpriced and force products on you. |

I take one-a-days as well and definitely notice a drop in energy/alertness when I stop taking it regularly. One of the better multi-vitamins I've taken.

They sell "comfort bikes" which are sort of like mountain bikes in stance but they have more of a road type wheel, materials. So you have less rolling resistance, etc. These can be found in the ~$300 range or so, so I might try one of these.. This is what I had in mind: http://cycleloft.com/itemdetails.cfm...gId=39&id=4006 Again, I'm a complete bike noob.. Feel free to offer your advice.. Commute (one-way) is 7 miles.

As far as Multis go, I love Orange Triad, it also has a joint care portion, which never hurts if you're doing anything athletic! Ask 100 people about multis, and you'll get 100 answers.
As for Whey, 20 minutes before, and immediately after workout. Whey is a fast absorbing protein, and tends to cause a significant spike in blood amino acid levels, that will then taper off, which is why it's important to consume healthy whole proteins like chicken or fish throughout the day, to keep AA levels from dipping too low. Downing a shake 20 mins prior to work out (with some carbs. oatmeal, rice, etc) will keep blood AA levels up during workout, which allows muscle recover to start quickly, and downing another immediately after is even more important. The best time to build muscle is immediately after a work out, so post workout nutrition makes a big difference. That's where you should eat your biggest meal of the day. I usually down a shake (and creatine, if you use it. Absorbtion is highest after a work out) right after a workout, then eat a meal with chicken and rice, eggs and salsa in a whole grain tortilla, something to that effect. Carbs are imporant post workout. If your muscles are a building, proteins are the bricks, and carbs are the workers that lay them. If you're going to have sugars, workout time is when you want to do that too, as your body will be able to use them, instead of storing them as fat. |

If you ask the butcher at the store, they usually have high quality chicken in the back that they can trim and weigh out for you. But be warned, can be really really expensive. Quote:
My allergies have been out of wack for the last year. Just didn't feel right for the last 7-8 months. So much so I went and had blood work done and everything. I feel so much better now. Even my co-workers have noticed a difference. I just recommend at least giving them a try. And if you try another multi make sure it contains NO iron. |

I use Myoplex powder, it's pricey, but it definately works. The whey protein is perfectly fine too if paired with a Multi-V. The only real diffence is that myoplex combines whey, soy and egg proteins for a time release effect, and it acts as a meal replacement to curb hunger. |

Sorry, I know very little about this stuff.
I'm one of those scrawny asian guys that always try and gain weight and add muscle. Anywho, everytime I try to do protein shakes, it upsets my tummy (like someone already mentioned here). Is it the whey that does it? Yogurt has whey, but doesn't upset my stomach. Is there something I'm missing? Or does someone have any alternatives/brands I can look into? I'd like to take protein, but don't want to always have to cropdust at the office. |
