What protein mix are you using? One of the best I found for bulk was this,

I'm still looking for a good quality natural powder. Been back at the gym for 2 months now and I still haven't decided on one. Don't want to bulk, I'm already big enough. Looking to lose the gut and slim down while adding some tone. Any suggestions on powder?

Also. Why powder so expensive????

Its still cheaper than the equivalent protein of say chicken breast, with much less cholesterol depending on the brand. Just look around for one that has what you want in it. If youre trying to maintain get something with as little carbs, fat, cholesterol, and sugars as you can find.

I don't know a whole lot about the powder tbh. Here is what I do know.. you want a high quality powder if you want to build lean muscle. If you do want to use it, you need quality protein from a well-known brand. (i.e. my link has 1g of sugar, and 1g of fat, for 24g protein.)

The reason it is expensive is because milk is expensive. In the past, most quality milk has come from the US. I read something recently about China not importing as much milk, and instead making their own. With less exports, I would imagine milk prices would decrease within the US, but who knows.

I bet someone on the forums has way more knowledge on this, and a good answer.

What Nilbog linked is definitely one of the best products on the market. It's predigest Whey protein so it breaks down rather quickly. If you're active, or plan to be active it's going to be your best bet in my opinion. The performance line that I linked previously has the benefit (or detriment depending on your goals) of higher carbs/calories. I like the extra carbs in the morning in my shake since I cut out milk from my diet so that product works well for me.

In regards to your concern about price, really none of them are 'cheap', at least not ones that you'd want to buy. There's a lot of science that goes behind the powders and quite a bit of manufacturing and processing expense that drives up the cost as well. I would say I probably blow ~$100/mo on the shit.

With that said, I also run up a grocery bill of about $170/week, which leaves me with 4 meals a day and 2 shakes.

Pictured doesn't include my dinners which is the 3 lbs of veal wrapped up in the bag in the back. There's also salmon in the fridge. This is really just what I take to work. The overall diet gets boring, so I change it up slightly week to week, but nothing that exciting.

Oh ok, so its about 50g from the powder for 2 scoops of gold standard natural.


Not even sure about the bread, because i make it from scratch. its quinoa and flax, because celiac disease. any carbs i eat after that are usually from brown rice, though carbs arent a huge deal at the moment since im not cutting. 2 tbsp of natural peanutbutter (not the sugary salty jif bullshit) isnt that much at all.
