Hi

Having started in the gym a while ago, i have started to notice very slight gains.

i mentioned my plan in this thread, which i enjoy. Ive upped the weight of most of the dumbells in the exercises though.

Im concerned that i dont get in enough protein. I track my daily diet on www.livestrong.com and a lot of the time the protein is down, or i dont think its enough "good" protein

in the gym the last few times, i got some protein bars, the two i picked up were Supreme Protein http://www.supremeprotein.com/supp-fact-panels/45g-cc-spbar-supplement-facts.php and a maximuscle cyclone bar.

I wonder if there are better ones out there than these?
Ive been looking in the supplements thread but its huge (48 pages :eek:)

anyone any pointers on what i should be looking at? I would almost prefer bars to shakes, but if they arent that good at all ill go with shakes

Protein bars are full of sugar so whey protein shakes would be a better option if you really can't prepare chicken fillets, steak or even open a can of tuna.

Try this -> http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/protein-powders/impact-whey-protein/

Mint choc and Banana are nice.

I'd recommend getting a casein protein also to take before bed and this explains why -> http://www.supplements-explained.com/casein-protein-the-night-time-protein-source/

These flapjacks are really good, I've had both the raspberry and chocloate chip, prefer the raspberry but thats my opinion.

Just if you cant stand the shakes and cleanup.
I use the myprotein shakes too and have found the chocolate shake good and the bedtime extreme in the formulas section for before bed of course :rolleyes:

Good luck.
