because the supplements are a good drink on the go thing and also come in good flavours. it gives an alternative. and the reason i posted in the supplements section is because i wanted recommendations on which one to take- opposed to posting in the diet section, where i could have asked how much of x food gives me y amount of protein.

2bh i have read endless points- yep it's possible to gain without supplements, yep it's possible to gain with supplements. take your point also.

i posted a revised diet up and was given the all clear. Tuna I'm not a massive fan of, have it in bread as it disguises the taste.

This fits your requirements very well:

BSN Syntha-6 - available in Chocolate, Banana, Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate Mint flavour

It's a mix of these type of proteins, all with different digestion speeds and bioavailabilities:

* Ultra-Filtered Whey Protein Concentrate
* Micellar Alpha and Beta Caseins
* Micro-filtered Whey Protein Isolate
* Egg Albumen
* Calcium Caseinate
* Milk Protein Concentrate

It also tastes yummy, as people have pointed out in the past. We have it on for less than 26 quid.

if it's just quick meals your after, i'd go for protein flapjacks.

they're tasty, easy to store, easy to carry with you, easy to eat, and give a good balence between slow release carbs and protein - both of which you need for bulking.

you can either make your own (check the recipes section), or buy them. they'll cost between 15 and 25 quid for 24, and are usually around 200-400 calories each, depending on brand.

yeah but you shouldn't have more than 30-35g of protein per meal/serving. So I worked out, I'd need a protein meal replacement for breakfast, pre-work out and before bed. So estimating that each of those 3 servings gives me say 30-35g of protein, I would take between 90-105g protein daily from supplements, leaving me to gain the other 90-105g daily through physical foods. 180-210g daily protein is still more than I need for my current stats, but I feel with the proposed diet it's achievable.

So I need to find one that gives me a blend of isolate & concentrate at those values above for around £30 per month.

The reason I posted was in the off-chance someone knew of one which would fit my requirements as otherwise I will probably have to stump for one that would probably give me the protein requirement but last me 3 weeks and not 4.

from what i gather this really depends on a myriad of factors, eating 50g times 6 a day would probably be more beneficial I reckon then 6 x 30g imo, better to have more then less thats my motto

posts on this forum have said that the body can only work with 30-35/40g protein per serving so technically yes you can consume more protein per serving but if your body can only use 30-35/40g of it, any more than that you consume is a waste. also heard people at la fitness say this and done a google search which correlates this.

of course all up to opinion but this must have come from somewhere if lots of people say this.

for me, weighing average 53kg, consuming around 180g protein daily is more than i need and technically is for someone weighing around 90kg so im sticking to it as it's achievable and double the 1g protein per kg bodyweight which everyone talks about as it's 2 x this amount.

think on cost, i'll have to sacrifice one serving of supplement and eat a protein meal to compensate.
