Buy chocolate, some ppl like vanilla. Some brands of cookies and creams are ok, all other flavors are disgusting in my opinion.

My favorite standalone is chocolate. I use the vanilla if i'm putting in things like strawberries, banana, greek yogurt, etc. in it. I've had some strawberry flavors that are decent as well.

I agree with decaf. Chocolate and vanilla are usually solid. I actually really liked a strawberry one I got but probably not for everyone.
I have a chocolate currently but will probably get vanilla because you can blend a wider variety of things with it.

As bodyweight and general activity levels increase, are you supposed to increase your micronutrient intakes as well? Is it proportional to the increase in macros?
|
Najda, I think so. I couldn't find much definitive info on whether increased physical activity warrants increased micronutrient intake, but here are two studies:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10746356
Prolonged strenuous exercise performed on a regular basis may also result in increased losses from the body or in an increased rate of turnover, resulting in the need for an increased dietary intake. An increased food intake to meet energy requirements will increase dietary micronutrient intake, but athletes in hard training may need to pay particular attention to their intake of iron, calcium and the antioxidant vitamins.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10610072
The available data suggest that micronutrient requirements are increased in physically active people because of increased losses through sweat, urine and faeces, and an increased need for defence against free radicals. However the evidence is controversial, and it is not possible to make any quantitative estimations. Micronutrient requirements in moderately active people are not likely to be very much above the levels recommended for the general population.
takeaway points 1. moderately active people probably don't need much more than regular people 2. we're not sure exactly how much more micronutrients physically active people need, but they probably do need a bit more
So if you're increasing macro intake, I don't think there's any reason not to do so by eating foods that are nutrient-dense anyway (if you're gonna up carbs, eat a wide variety of veggies and rice and sweet potatoes rather than just white rice).

Does anyone here do protein shakes without powders? I've been doing some with 150g of pumpkin seeds (~990cals,45g protein,60g fat, some carbs) and frozen strawberries/banana which are pretty nice. Any other nice ones out there?
|
Seed protein is less bioavailable, and seed fats are often oxidized before ingestion. This makes seed-based protein supplementation a less than optimal idea.

Man I would really like to eat like the OP recommends, but it is just to expensive. The meat alone would cost me like 6 € per day (800 g meat, 190g protein). That is already about as much as I spend for food overall now.
The standard protein powder recommend here I have seen going for 24 € / kg which would be 30 € / kg protein. Assuming I eat 200 g protein I end up at 6 € again. I would have thought that protein powder is cheaper than meat per kg of protein, but both seems to be about 30 € / kg protein.
Are my numbers wrong here? What is the cheapest way to eat protein?

What numbers are you trying to hit for calories and protein? Chicken is typically the cheapest for protein, but all your protein doesn't have to come from chicken. I know prices here won't be the same as they are in Germany but they shouldn't be too far off; I've been able to eat ~3300 calories ~180g protein at $8-10 a day.
This is an example of a pretty basic day for me: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/JordanBourne?date=2014-03-14 (ignore the meal titles, I usually just put things wherever all at once at the end of the day) but you can go forward/back a couple days to see the variance (some days I didn't have any chicken but still hit protein goals). I only logged for like two weeks because I eat only a few things so I found it redundant to keep plugging it all in.

Protein powder is junk....a lot of them have steroids an chemicals in them that are not good for you (a lot of protein powders have been exposed lately for this reason).
Also, Paleo is a fad diet for sure. If you're looking for more protein I'd get a cheap bag of beans for a $1 and a bag of potatoes which go for around $1.50-$2.00 at most places for a 5 pound bag. You can make a nice meal with a cup or two of beans, corn, tomato sauce, and a potato or two as your base and get in a lot of protein a long with the minerals and vitamins your body needs.
Potatoes, beans, and corn are not only high in protein but also very low fat and high in minerals most people are deficient in such as potassium & magnesium.
Sure, you can buy chicken but 5 piunds of chicken where I live is a good $15-20, high in cholesterol and fat, and more than likely has been fed all kinds of junk. *Organic* chicken is even more expensive.....chicken also contains no nutrients the body needs besides protein......
Don't listen to a lot of the people recommending a lot of protein though as recent studies have shown that your carbohydrate intake is much more important than your protein intake when it comes to building muscle. If you eat a plant based diet (You don't need to completely avoid meet of course.) you'll save a ton of money, feel better, and be much much healthier plus get all of the protein your body needs as well.
The reason why I call the Paleo Diet a fad is because it's slowly dying down and being disproven. Legumes for example have been shown to have much less phytic acid than almonds and practically all foods contain some anti nutrients (anti nutrients nly suck out the nutrition from the food with the anti nutrients and not your body). Also potatoes and other starches are being accepted and even wheat is making it's way into the diet.
Eating plant based is as cheap as hell as well.
I can buy 10 pounds of bananas for $2.50, 5 pounds of poatoes for $1.50, 1 large bag of beans for about $1.25, and frozen vegetables are extremely inexpensive.
Blend in some frozen fruit with almond milk or rice milk and you have an amazing pre workout smoothie that fuels your body with the nutrition and sugar that it needs. It's also a very cheap pre workout drink.
Meals are also very inexpensive. It only costs me around $5 a day to feed myself and I'm getting in more vitamins/minerals/and anti oxidents than 95% + of the population and my shakes taste amazing as well and are cheap.
If you ever have meat cravings I've found beans help with that by a TON.
Also, too much animal protein is hard on the kidneys. Google it if you don't believe me. 200G protein is CRAZY. I probably get in around only 40-50G a day and feel fine and still have a very muscular lower body (calves & quads) and can Dumb Bell curl 50 pounds for 3-5 reps yet I don't workout at all.

Where do you come from? Are you like a diet advice cicada?
Can't get big eating beans. Potatoes get you big if you are eating a steak with them.
No evidence that animal protein is hard on normal functioning kidneys.
Pics/video or it didn't happen.

I heard that street food in China can contain poisons like arsenic guys. Best to not eat anything at all.

There might not be any evidence that protein is hard on "normal functioning kidneys" but there is also no evidence that eating ice cream and doughnuts is hard on the heart or that smoking pot does not increase your risk of heart disease yet we know that people with high cholesterol or heart problems should avoid those foods and should avoid smoking pot.....
Basically what I'm saying is that there might not be any tests to show the small amount of damage that a ton of protein will do on kidneys over time (not in one shot of course) but there is evidence in people that have even the slightest of kidney problems including those that get kidney stones easily that a diet high in protein will make their kidneys even worse as the gap from slightly bad or bad kidneys to them getting even worse is measurable and noticeable in the person with the bad kidneys.
In the case of someone having healthy kidneys the damage will build up over years just like bad eating in general, this is why most bodybuilders and weightlifters in general have bad kidneys when they hit their 40's....even Rich Piana who looks like a blown up balloon because he is so big recommends staying away from a diet high in protein as he knows it damages the kidneys and he;s been lifting and reading into this stuff before most of us were born.
Google vegan or vegetarian body builders and than try to tell me you can;t get big off of beans or potatoes. Beans have a ton of protein.......1 cup of black beans for example has 42 grams of protein.....I can easily take down 1 cup of beans as a side dish in just 1 meal. If I eat 2 cups of beans in a day I'm looking at 84 grams of protein easily. If I add in starchy potatoes, corn, and other vegetables a long with some nuts I'm looking at around 120-140 grams of protein in a day without even trying.
I also get in all of my Omega 3 as green leafy vegetables, fruits, and even beans have a high Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio in what little fat they do have (around 4 to 12 percent).

That's false. The kidneys have to be pretty messed up for them to be damaged by a high protein diet. No evidence bodybuilders have worse kidney function, and Rich Piana has 1) done a bunch of drugs and 2) has no idea what he's talking about.
Most veg bodybuilders converted after they were big. Doesn't count. Otherwise not very many.

That they have "steroids" in them seems a stretch though. And as you say, it's not impossible to just buy the ones that are not crap. This might be a silly question, but how are you supposed to tell in advance which are crap and which aren't? just read around?
