    It's fnuking gorgeous, almost sweet and super delicious on hot pita bread. Cashew butter and hazelnut butter are absolutely delicious too.


    Hazlenut butter tastes like pooh imo. LOVE almond and cashew butter. Love smoothies with oats, banana, blueberries , glenisk yogurt and spoon of almond/cashew/peanut buuter to boost. NYOM

    oh and mash a banana with the almond butter onto that pitta ftw!

    iv occasionally seen the small tiny jars of almond and cashew butter(meridion brand) in health food stores and holland and barrett.

    Any nut butters can be bought in a good health food shop (Holland & Barrett def stock them) - Meridian is one of the better brands out there.

    I always find i am ravenously snacky after being in the gym which is ok in the middle of the day cause i can have my lunch or dinner after but what about at NIGHT? I try not to go too late (usually around 8pm) so that i am not home and hungry before bed....
    Should i have protein or what? am confused.... i know i shouldnt eat so late but i really want "something" just after the gym.... what are the rules with this?

    If training in the evening (9-10pm) I find this works for me:

    - Immediately after gym on walk home --> Banana & 30g of whey in water.

    - Before bed if hungry --> tin of tuna / oats / glass of milk.

    Avoid the mars bar! The banana is your sugary treat.

    protein shakes are ok if you are doing some serious max strength weights!! but if its for weight loss/fitness dont bother!! and alot of protein shakes are made in factories where steriods are made!

    First of all, no. AFAIK nutritionX is owned by Glanbia. Unless thats what goes into supermilk, i didn't think they were into pharmaceuticals.

    Secondly, a lot of medicines are made in the same factory as steroids are made. Are you saying we should shun calpol?

    I'm not saying take proetin shakes, and i am not saying don't, but don't believe the hype. They can be useful to supplement your diet if you feel you are not getting in sufficient protein for your goals, or if whole foods are inconvenient immediately after your training.

    Post workout is the only time a supplment is better then real food. Protein shakes have a place- if i was bulking i'd take them loads as its easier then eating loads - not ideal, but at least you can be sure you wont get fat while bulking

    Ha, I don't know what it is. I always cook them in batches and for the first time these ones are just crap. Crap meat I guess.

    I thought Steroids and synthetic Hormones are different?

    Well they are, sort of.
    Steroids can be found naturally in the body (eg sex hormones), but the media over the last few decades have made steroid a bad word, thats associated with anabolics only. And not all proformance enhancement drugs are steroids, even though the media refers to them as such.
    Not all steroids are synthetic hormones, not all synthetic hormones are steroids (and even less are proformance enhancing)

    And almost no protein drinks have any of the above in them.

    How profound a statement, you are clearly a well travelled knowledgable individual. Im pretty sure that dairy companies are not involved in international steroid manufacturing practice. Also get a spell check Dr. Podge.

    footballers constantly bring up chicken and pasta when asked about their diet. But too much of the same thing is boring.

    all_smilz I really like to sometimes have an Alpro Soya chocolate dessert after a workout. It's like chocolate custard. It's low in calories and saturated fat, but is a good source of plant based protein and has 13g of sugar in it. It's cheap too, and widely available. Perks me right up. :pac:

    You will find it in SuperValu, Tesco, Dunnes and usually Spars and Centras. It's near the soya/alternative/organic packaged foods. I put it in the fridge though, and it's really nice.
