Protein Intake

Comrade C

Hey! Im a 16 year old and am not entirely skint on money! I av been at the gym for 4 months now and am about 68 kg! Im wondering if im better off either jst getting about 80g to 100g of protein with food or start taking supplements, the main concern is money wise, as i can get food with no cost!

What Makes A Bodybuilder calculate much protein, carbs and fat do you need.

If ordering is out of the question, then these foods should help:

Red Meat. Ground round, steaks, deer,
Poultry. Chicken breast, whole chicken, turkey, duck, …
Fish. Tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, …
Eggs. Eat the yolk, it’s full of vitamins.
Dairy. Milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, whey, …


Combine these and you wont really need supplements.

Aim for about 140 to 165 grams of protein a day.

you get a point for every pound you spend, so if you spend 50 pound you get 50p off your next order or save them up.

But the best part is the referral points. You give your discount code to your mates, poeple at the gym etc and when they spend a pound you get 5 pence back.

Basically if someone spends £50 pound you get 5 points for every pound they spend, giving you £2.50 in points.

Pass on to ten people and earn between £20 to £30 for free.

Its pretty good, i am only a customer about 2-3 months now and i have about £15 to spend for free. I use a gym in my shed but a mate of mine goes to the local gym and he passed on hi code there and he has about £30 in a month to spend, thats a free tub of whey.

Gonna spend my referral points later in the summer,let them add up for a bit.

Even if you dont pass your code on the value for money is outstanding in my opinion.

All you have to do is compare the prices to your local store or irish online store.

But only invest in supps when you have your diet decent and if you are training enough to need them.
