I gave up on supplements a long time ago. They seem like a huge waste of money and I get the best results from straight up food. I have been slowly building muscle and dropping weight the past 5 months. The toughest meals to get in are the ones at work during the day. Breakfast and Dinner and late snack are pretty static.
Typically I eat every 3 hours so when im on the go I either pack a loaded turkey breast sandwitch with whole grain bread and eat half for one meal, then half another. Another quick but monotonous meal is A can of Albacore Tuna (in water) drained and eaten with about 9 triscuits ( I like cracked pepper and olive oil). Its not pretty, but its cheap and good quick protien.
I used to eat Apex Bars and whey protien back in the day, but a lot of bars are expensive as hell and jack for protien and are loaded with sugar and the whey protien was just a pain in the ass to mix.
