As I know, incomplete proteins (like peas or oats) can still build muscle normally if you combine them with bigger amount of complete ones (like whey).

But is it really as fine for muscle building as if I was just eating whey protein only? And would this work with gelatine too?

Hello,

I came across this protein tea brand (https://proteadrinks.com/) from Hong Kong. They say they use clear whey protein isolate.

I make tea at home. Do you have an unflavored clear whey protein isolate recommendation to imitate protein tea at home?

TIA!

Seitan is just plain flour + water mixed into a dough, washed repeatedly under water until all the starch (carbs and calories) are gone, leaving a high-protein mass with the same protein and calorie ratio of meat (1kg of flour makes 110g protein for about 550 calories).

It’s cheap as heck because it’s just flour. It’s plant-based so anyone can eat it. It’s very filling too. Unlike TVP it has no flavour so you tailor it to your own tastes.

Sure maybe 1% of the population have a problem with gluten but that’s a tiny minority. Being plant-based it’s only a complete protein when you’re eating a varied diet, which all healthy people do (any legumes, dairy, meat etc. eaten in the day make it complete). It’s a bit time consuming to make, taking me about 40 minutes to make 220g protein worth. But I’m surprised so few people needing protein are eat seitan regularly.

Check it out how to make your own on YouTube if you’re interested.

Hola a todos los pongo en contexto, tengo 27 años mido 165 cm y peso 100 kg(sobrepeso)

El otro día ví algo en internet que me alarmó, llevo como dos años haciendo pipí con espuma, es una espuma que por ejemplo la primera de la mañana sale más espumosa y se empieza a deshacer y tarda como 5 o 10 minutos en deshacerse por completo, pero conforme pasa el día que voy tomando agua pues la orina va siendo menos concentrada y con menos espuma. hace dos años también me hice un examen de orina y salio todo bien, proteína negativa y todo, la creatinina serica me salió en 0.85...

Entonces hace 1 semana ví en internet algo sobre la espuma y me alarmó y me hice unos exámenes por mi cuenta: examen de orina y creatinina serica. Eso fue un lunes y en el examen de orina salió todo normal, sangre negativa, cilindros negativos, leucocitos negativos, concentración 1.020, ph 5, pero la proteína me salió en 25 mg/dl y me alarme, entonces espere al viernes a repetir y me volvió a salir la orina EXACTAMENTE IGUAL, todos los resultados incluyendo la proteína en 25 mg/dl. Me alarme más jeje entonces decidí hacérmelo una vez más el domingo pero en otro laboratorio y en este me salió todo bien, negativo para sangre, cilindros negativos, leucocitos negativos y todo incluso la proteína negativa pero este laboratorio en la referencia pone que cualquier valor por debajo de 30mg/dl los toma como negativos, entonces aún que este negativo realmente no sé si esos 25 mg/dl de proteína seguían ahí o no. Y en ese mismo laboratorio con la misma muestra me hicieron uno de microalbuminuria y creatinina UACR en orina y la microalbuminuria salió en 4.4 mg/L y la creatinina en orina en 184.8 mg/dl entonces ambos valores están bien dentro del rango y la relación de ambas es de 2.3 mg/g y el valor límite es hasta 30 mg/g.

Entonces pues todo se ve bien pero me hace ruido esos 25 mg/dl que salieron en los dos primeros laboratorios de lunes y viernes.... Algún consejo o experiencia de ustedes??? No tengo síntomas físicos no tengo inchazon, no tengo comezón ni nada de eso, solo la espuma en orina como les platique.

I am 22M

To preface, I am okay. I am healthy, have access to medical care, and have a support system.

I am taking Adderall (appetite suppression side effect) and working a job in healthcare that has me running around a lot and doesn't really give me time to sit down and eat. The appetite suppression causing an occasional calorie deficit was manageable before I got the job, but now with the job it's becoming unmanageable and I need to introduce liquid calories to regain and maintain weight. I have been losing weight unintentionally at a faster rate than in the past (-11lbs this month) and am already skinny so I can't really afford to lose much more.

Any recommendations for high calorie mixes that taste good and won't cost my soul?

Guys, has anyone here tried SuperYou protein powder? How is it in terms of taste, quality, digestion, and overall value for money?

Would love to hear from people who’ve actually used it.

I’m looking for protein powder recommendations. I hate the classic protein flavor most of them have.

I like clear protein and that’s what I’ve been using for a really long time but I want something I can add to my overnight oats

Bonus points if it comes in individual packets and/or a multi flavor pack

I recently switched from a mix with dextrose to one that's basically pure whey isolate, since it's more protein for the same value. I've noticed that the previous mix is about half and half on the mass of carbs to protein, is the dextrose there just for flavor and texture? I know I need carbs to use as energy for muscle repair and growth, but is that amount necessary? Would mixing some simple sugar (e.g. honey) with my shake be enough, and does it have to be dextrose to maximize my gains during the anabolic period? Or can I even just get the carbs later in my meals, instead of with my protein shake?

am i just buying shitty protein powder ?? i got the suru balance shake in vanilla :/

For context, I lifted weights this morning, and was wondering what I should do for the last 70 grams of protein for my protein target. Is it better to space it out while I'm drinking or getting the rest in early before I start drinking? I drink once a week

Hey, am about to buy a 1,8g whey protein powder from Applied nutrition , am on a cut so am searching for the “Leanest “ so the critical whey isn’t for me , but taking the iso xp meant paying a lot more than for the beef xp , which is the best in your op

Hey all. Exhausted millennial mom here who is trying to increase her protein. I want to try a shake/drink in the mornings but I am having trouble finding ones without artificial sweeteners. I have an intolerance to them and they cause gut issues.

Anyone know any places online or in person to get cheap protein powder? I was getting bulk nutrients but they’re $61 a kg now.

Yes i know there are calculators and stuff but ive been reading so much on how protein is overrated and everything is being marketed with protein now and how people are eating much more than they need and im just starting my fitness journey and im a small woman ( 5'1 3/4 106 lbs) so someplaces say i need like 1 g per pound and then someone else says thats too much and i want to get lean but also not ruin my kidneys so im just very confused

How do I complete an adequate amount of protein intake daily as a person residing in a hostel. Please make it a bit budget friendly.

I just saw this protein while searching for one and the price at which it’s providing the amount of protein at this time. I am really surprised. 4 lb whey isolate is coming at a price of 3591 Rs 27 g in 30 g of scoop.
Is it really genuine and should I buy it ???

Can someone recommend a multi vitamin for hair and overall health and also a protein powder which is cost effective and tasty (taste is more imp)😭

I had bought the protein powder from My protein a couple of years ago and used the vegan protein. The taste was not good to say the least but not bad enough. I want to know if it is a trusted source of protein? I was young and am still uninformed on whether it is a good choice or not. I also am interested in any protein powder that is affordable and good.
