Protein Oh Yeah!

Just wondering what everyone is taking for protein through food and suplements. Also, I just had this new bar today, called the Oh Yeah! protein bar. By far the best tasting I have ever had. 26g of protein, very very tasty.

oh yeah? jk... i should try that. I used to like the detour bars but i think they changed thier recipe because now they taste too sweet. I use costco protein, 5lbs for $20. I think Sam's Club has EAS for 5 lbs @ $20.

I'm actually trying to gain weight right now. I'm at 175, tryin to get to about 190-195.

My favorite source of protein is Tuna! But, I'm a tuna freak...

as for the bars, I've never seen Oh Yeah! Bars...We have Power Bars though, they are actually pretty good. 20 Grams of protein. Way outta my budget though

Tuna... yuck lol. I can only have so much tuna.
McFrosticles, do you have any good tuna recipes? Right now im using white rice, scallions, lemon pepper seasoning, and tuna heated for like a minute (learned from FLEX).

I like Optimum Nutrition. I get it from www.musclesurf.com for about $30 with shipping. Tastes great and mixes well with water or anything else.

You have to be really careful as MOST protein bars are also really high in carbs and calories.
Prostar Whey powder only has 130 calories and very few carbs.

a lot of carbs and calories?
who cares?
you need carbs and calories to build muscle.

mind you, a lot of the carbs in protein bars are simple sugars and thus are only really suited for post workout. still..

Wow, must be nice to have a metablosism like an incinerator. Sure you need energy from carbs but for most people we need to keep in check the total number of calories and carbs that we eat during a day. You can only burn so much energy during a workout - everything else goes to your hips and it takes an hour and 45 minutes of running (for the average person) to lose 1 pound. Diet is 80% food and 20% exercise. Just because you are exercising it doesn't mean you can eat tons of carbs and calories. That's the mindset of most people today.

If you're trying to gain weight, then that's exactly what it means.

Does that mean im saying you should fill your mouth with sugar, fast food, etc? No, but that does mean that you should fill your mouth with quality carbs and calories. Anyone who's taking protein bars im assuming is taking them to gain weight, and usually taking them after a workout(why eat whey any other time?). After a workout you need a ton of high and low gi carbs to get your insulin levels back up, as well as a ton of protein to get your body building muscle.

And diet isn't "80 percent this, 20 percent that". You can't put a ratio comparing two things. Every factor involved is equally important.
