0 for me. I pretty much stick to whole foods. Gains started increasing for me when I did this. I eat every 2 hours so its mainly chicken, tuna, eggs for protein. I get home not long after working out and eat some chicken, eggs and some wholewheat toast.Just curious to see how many protein shakes a day you drink on your workout days ?
There has been some discussion that the body absorbs nutrients from whole foods better than from processed sources. Also when you factor in that protein shakes supply relatively few micronutrients when compared to whole food choices, there are some good arguments to be made in favour of whole food diets.As much talk that goes on on this board about protein shakes this, and protein shakes that, I would have expected to see more people drinking them. Makes me begin to wonder if I should stop drinking them, and or maybe onely drink one a day. I have heard that they were sooooo good for you..
Guess I will wait to see what more this poll shows before I change my mind.
Well that is certainly the predominant theory supporting its use (and often the associated high GI carb). The problem I have with it is that it implies that whole foods are not up to the task; which is something that, as far as I know, has never been conclusively supported by experimental evidence.Anyway, to Nitrox: I see the merit in eating whole foods as the #1 protein source, but isn't there something to be said for the rapid absorption of whey protein to support your workout energy and recovery?
Hi....I'm whole food....nice to meet you.Heck, I take a shake when I get up, a meal replacement pre-workout, a protein smoothie post-workout, a shake before bed, and I'll even get up in the middle of the friggin' night and drink some protein. lol Gotta like that.
