Supplements: Necessary? Anonymous
Sup /fit/. I started lifting regularly about a month ago, and have seen some small improvements. (The tendons and veins on my hands are visible again, pants are looser etc.) However, I am super dirt poor, and can't afford all this fancy dietary supplement crap. What I'm trying to say is; can I still see decent improvements if I just try to eat lots of protein instead of making chemical milkshakes all the time?


Pic related, I want to look like that. (Without the why-am-I-so-baldness, and the broken ass nose.)

Probably not, but it'll probably help.

Just keep eating, as long as you're getting enough protein and calories, sources don't matter.

How much protein is enough? I heard that cheese is like 1/4 protein, and eggs are quite high in protein. I live with a vegetarian =( so theres never any fucking meat around. How many eggs would I have to eat to get a decent amount of protein?

bout 20.

However, if you drank 2 litres of physical skim (my chosen milk brand) you'll get 100g from that
then 6 eggs for breakfast = +40
Then everything else I eat works out to like 250g or so, but that's excessive for most (I seem to need to 10x the normal human calories, lol)

but yeah, your weight in lbs = minimum amount of protein in grams.

If you weigh 180, you need 180g protein, MINIMUM.

Start reading labels.

Cottage cheese is fantastic before bed, or as a snack (slow digesting protein for before bed, but because you can eat half akilo of cottage cheese in 2 minutes also makes a good breakfast)

I like drinking alot of milk (obviously) just because I find it quite easy to do
Lots of legumes will also help push your protein intake up.
