Just talking to a friend last night who works for Optimum Nutrition. He let me know that while the "industry" isn't really talking about it, wholesale whey prices have dropped a buttload after rising for a long period of time. You can buy WPC80 for about $1.50/lb if you buy by the truck. WPI90 is just a small amount more. They were very quick to raise the prices through the roof when Whey prices skyrocketed but don't expect them to lower them much any time soon or to talk about it. Guess it goes along with airlines not lowering prices despite huge drops in fuel cost.

That sooo describes them perfectly. They really seem to feel they're vastly superior and elite by eating nothing but whole foods.
Bah, fuck em...

Protein powder has been giving me stomach problems lately, it's been a few weeks and there's no negative change without it. I don't think I need it.

Haha thought the same thing.

Protein powder is a depressing meal for me, last resort if i have to go out short notice or w.e.

In-N-Out... the best junk food ever made!

One of the few things I wish would spread from gh15 is the adamant disregard for supplements.
Unfortunately, people still poison their bodies with this garbage and get no results. If you poison yourself with anabolics at least you get something to show for it.

Never understood the "eat real food" argument. Talk about bro science bullshit. No one is saying only drink whey protein shakes. No one is saying whey protein shakes are superior. However they make a good quick ultra easy to prepare quick protein and or carb meal if you add carbs in if you are in a hurry to supplement your "real food."
People seem to think your body sits there, looks at the whey and says, I can't use this shit because it isn't real food. Your body will process the protein, carbs, and fat in it just like any of the real food you eat.

I often wonder how people fall for the one whey protein is better than the other when they buy their whey in bulk from the same source.
-
hahaha, look at these bigtime powerful guys on here talking about protein powder. I wonder how many of you mix it with your oatmeal in the morning. ::)

Whey protein. Lol. The butter and cheese makes found the most gullible bunch of fools in bodybuilders to buy the run off liquid they used to flush down the drain. Ironic that optimum is owned by the Irish butter maker. So their cost for whey is zero fucking dollars.

Track your macros for just one week. Weigh and write down every single thing.
See how much protein you get... you'll probably be surprised to see it's higher than you think, especially if you tend to stay away from processed foods.

For me it's a time thing. I have a bucket of grilled chicken in my fridge. The time to kill a protein shake is like 5 seconds. The time to choke down a chicken breast is more like 5 minutes...and the fucking dogs are always hanging around like a bunch of Mafiosi looking for their "cut"
-
It's convenient and one of the best protein sources out there plus many of us don't feel like spending half the day chewing on shit. I'm not going to be one of those pudwhackers eating out of Tupperware every 3 hours.

No time to eat yet you have plenty of time to post on getbig. Need to know your prioritas

Sorry, sir!!!

I get my protein powder (whey isolate, casein, and vegan protein from grains - I don't drink the vegan one though) for free, so I go through quite a bit of it since its just cheaper that way.
I trust the company I get it from, especially since I work for them part time haha. I never get stomach issues, bloating, etc... If I did, I'd just sell what they send me, but so far so good!
I guess unless you're having digestion issues with it, or some sort of allergic reaction I don't see why you couldn't save a few bucks and drink a shake and have a handful of almonds instead of chicken breast (which is pricey up here in Canada).

Getbig needs to hold a ceremony to honor the warriors who make it through their day "protein powder free"
An inspiration to us all, don't give up the fight fella's, we believe in you!!!

great idea
They have amazing iron will to resist the ease of drinking a shake and shouldering the task of eating their protein
The dedication of meal prep for the week
Carrying the tupperwares and stopping what they're doing just to eat their meal
Lol the foolish clueless poor souls who drink their protein shakes
Burn the shake drinkers at the stake

"I wouldn't be Mr. Olympia without my protein shakes and pre-workout supplements," said no Mr. Olympia ever.

What's been strange for me is that I have slowly become lactose intolerant. Never had a problem digesting lactose in protein powders, cheese, milk, cottage cheese before. But now that I'm in my 40's, it's becoming a bigger problem with each passing year. Always thought lactose intolerance was something you're born with. Didn't think it's something you can get later on in life like that. Strange.

In-N-Out is a LOT tastier with an Orange Soda...

I recently read somewhere that its very common for people to develop a lactose intolerance later in life. The article also talked about different races developing at different rates and some having a very low chance of developing it at all. I think it said Caucasians were very likely to develop a lactose intolerance later in life.
After a quick google search I saw this:
But as you get older, your lactase levels can start to decline, which means there’s nothing stopping the lactose you consume from going to your colon undigested, where bacteria break the sugars down and create excess gas and fluid in the process.

Possible, but it would have had to drop considerably even more since December.
