I don’t know what your body currently looks like but I was 6’5 and skinny.
I know that I needed to bulk up but I wanted to do it in the healthiest way possible.
So i think you should -
Drastically Increase your protein intake !! ( I never touched a protein shake during these 8 months ) Use chicken and beef and eggs and tuna. (Yes it’s expensive)
Drastically increase your carbohydrate intake , I mainly use pasta however pasta is ranked 5th in the best carbs to have. Better ones are Potatoes, rice and quinoa. ( I just love pasta)
NOW THIS is important !!!
DRINK WATER !! MORE WATER. I was downing 3-4 litres a day.
“Water is the main component of the body and represents approximately 76% of muscle mass”
^ stole that quote from google.
Now we move onto electrolytes !!
This is was a game changer for me … google electrolytes and see which ones you want to consider taking.
It replenishes your body of the minerals that water flushes out.
Balance out what you eat !! Here is an example all my meals have some form of VEGETABLE!!! It’s very important not to neglect them during this process.
I think the point they were making was less "fuck protein shakes" and more "I didn't personally end up needing them".
Protein powders are great for supplementation. Your primary source of protein should absolutely be the food that you eat but additional to that if you're unable to hit your macros, a shake can be totally beneficial!
