Vegan Protein Powder.

CokaColumbo · 2010-04-23 16:23:27

Hi, I am a vegan and have decided to return to weight lifting. I want to increase my protein intake and am wondering if anybody knows of any shops in Dublin which sell vegan protein powders. Also, is 1g of protein per pound of body weight a good guide for daily intake during a weight lifting programme or is that too high?…

All the major supplement shops carry soy powder, and some of them carry hemp or pea protein as well.

1g of protein per pound of lean mass is a good guideline, unless you are cutting extremely hard as well. Then up it to 1g per pound of total weight.

Most lifters post in the fitness forum, which could well be renamed the weightlifting forum. There is a dedicated sticky thread on supplements there, first at the top. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=252

Many use myprotein in the uk, you can see a 5% code below, you can see their vegan proteins here, the ones with a solid green circle with a white V in it,

Some Irish stores too
www.irish-lifting.com
www.pronutrition.ie
www.thesupplementfactory.com
others would be listed in that thread.
