protein powder for Shakes ... Anyone use them ?

Quest bars are very good. Especially the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.


But the absolute best is the Muscle Pharm combat crunch bars.

The macros are not quite as good as quest. A few more calories and a tad less fiber. But they taste just like those 100 grand bars.

Clif bars are not protein bars

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Cliff bars are what fat girls and liberals eat at lunch while discussing how unfair it is when the Mexican gets arrested and they both will come to an agreement that his civil rights were not protected. Both of them will have hair in their armpits and wear glasses.

I work out 3-4 times a week and take a pre-workout solution called EVP (Evopoietin One Alpha). It's grape flavor maximum strength and really gives you a boost pre workout. I also take a Whey Protein 3 times a day called Isolyze Whey Protein Suplement 27g muscle building protein per scoop. I have another pre-workout I take sometimes called Modern BCAA +

Love the Modern BCAA. Drink the blue raspberry during workouts a good bit

Has there ever been scientific evidence that you need all these high levels of proteins or your muscle will deteriorate like someone with muscular dystrophy?

I've seen a few articles ... but not sure because they were too long winded. lol

on another note, reading a bunch of stuff and came to a couple of places that say you need to eat 1g of Protein per Body weight ... Really ????
To help burn Fat....

Protein does not burn fat.
If you believe that you would be wrong.

Calorie deficit burns fat.
Protein might help you eat less and in turn the eating less will burn fat.

But protein itself does not burn fat.

Not 1 ounce of fat. Nada,zip , ziltch

The 1 gram of protein per pound is for building muscle.
Protein does help build muscle but it does not burn fat.

Protein when combined with your carbohydrate intake does help minimize the insulin spike. And that is important for fat burning. When insulin levels are is high, triglycerides don't break down as easily. If they don't break down, they can't leave the cell, thus they can't be used for energy.

This is something like I read...

My bad, i said it wrong

 

[Betallsports]

Right, Protein will full you up...

Hey learning something new for me

Protein can help increase the calories out if someone starts substituting Simple carbs for Protein but that is more of a case of the lack of carbs then it is the protein.

So it can appear that protein is burning fat because you are trading out simple carbs for protein.

Its really the carbs that was hindering fat lose. So if you take protein instead of the simple carbs you can lose fat.

But you need to give the credit to absence of carbs and not the addition of the protein.

 

[CHOPTALK]

And of course the protein companies are going to give the credit to the protein for the fat loss because in an indirect way people did lose fat on the protein because they lowered carbs.


But if you eat the same exact food but add protein to what you already eat. Not only will you not burn fat. You will gain fat.

Just throwing the body a curve ball can get a nice result. Of course it's limited. The body is amazingly adaptive. You can restrict and she will be more efficient. If you get too calorie heavy she gets less efficient. So what you say is true. When bodybuilders cut, the drop carb intake. But again, it's only for so long then you should mix it up, imo. Given enough time, even on low carb diets, the body can begin to design it's own carbohydrates. I believe the process is called neoglucogenesis. I believe it takes roughly a month to get to that state, but I'm not sure it's something you want to do long term. It takes a large amount of protein to run that process.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Carbohydrates is the only Macro you can survive without . You can't live without protein or fat.

You can go a whole lifetime without eating a single carb.

Your body gets its energy from carbs and fat.

If you remove the carbs (which is your bodies preferred method of getting energy) it forces your body to use fat for its energy. And that's when your body goes into the fat burning process
