On: Ramen May Lead to Chronic Illness Study Says

[csytan]

Why choose protein powder instead of natural protein?

[daniel-cussen → csytan]

Probably because he wants more than the natural amount of muscle.

I think of myself as Rocky Bilboa making a comeback.

I've got to go up against you punks and win, so I train hard and watch my diet.

And who's to say what's natural? The withering muscles of a pencil-necked geek who sits in front of a computer all day and into the night? Or the massive frame of my brother-in-law who works on a road crew?

[daniel-cussen → terra_t]

That's great. Just for context, I'm taking the same stuff: whey protein (with dextrose and creatine), vanilla flavor.

[ShardPhoenix → csytan]

It's easier to eat in large quantities. (For some people. Personally I can't stand it.)

[yesimahuman → ShardPhoenix]

Try a different brand/type. I personally love the stuff and how I feel when I'm incorporating it into my diet in place of some of my poorer choices.

[Devilboy → yesimahuman]

I had to try several ones before I found one I could drink on a regular basis and not get vomity.

Wow, thanks for taking me back to my youth:

> Bentley. Everett. Miss Logan's going to have dinner with us.

> Whip up a liver and whey shake.

It's super convenient to have a whey shake once a day or more - especially if you're trying to have 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 2-3 big ones.
