protein

[lilwoday09smb]

ive been taking protein for the past year. only really been lifting hard for a year. however i notice i feel really bloated and watery on the protein. i was wondering if i would be better to skip the shakes and try to eat one more protein meal a day. however by doing this i would probaly loose out on about 50 grams of protein. right now a normal day for me looks like this

7 am : 6 eggs

10:30 am: protein shake about 45 grams

lunch: 2 cans tuna w a lil mayo or 2 chicken breast sandwich

pre workout: protein shake or 2 scoops peanut butter

post workout: protein shake

dinner: chiken, steak, turkey. ect.
(really dont have much choice over dinner considering i live with parents)

you can replace the protein powder with food if you have the time... however, i would suggest that if your protein powder makes you feel gassy and bloated, you probably bought a cheap one....

ive been taking Optimum 100% Whey Protein. im really just trying to loose a lil more body fat. 2 percent would be perfect. i do the cardio and eat pretty clean. i just feel bloated after the protein. like it waits me down more than solid food

Try Brewers yeast. 16 grams of complete protein in two tablespoons-  easily digested/assimilated (no bloating), plus about a million extras (trace minerals, fiber etc).

drink more water.

[sarcasm]

drink more water.

or mix it with water, he's probably mixing it with milk which is never necessary and will cause gastric problems in the majority of people, i mix ON 100% Whey with water and never have problems.

no i use water, about 20 oz for 2 scoops. and i try to drink alot of water all day. i guess its just the constent eating. i used to wrestle so im used to having an empty stomach. i feel like 95 % of the time i eat  im still a lil full from the previous meal

Protein & peanut butter are not interchangable foods

[lilwoday09smb]

i understand but if i take protein sometimes ive thrown it up more than once, i take peanut butter on leg and back days otherwise theres no way im holding it down

Eat a whole food meal before your training session in place of a shake.I feel 2 shakes a day is all that is necessary as long as your other 3-4 meals are whole food meals & well balanced.

Yeah, I found I bloated off any more than that....2 shakes a day does it perfect for me.
