I'm running out of my Dymatize 12 hr protein MRP

Just wondering if there are better options available?
I've determined that I need an MRP.

Worst case scenario I guess I can throw in 2 scoops of whey + oats + peanut butter (fat to slow whey absorption) + other crap to increase the calories.

[hal0g0dv2]

oats and whey are a good mix

Make sure the ingredients on your peanut butter just says "peanuts". Or "peanuts, salt". Although I'm not a big fan of peanut oil, since it's very high in omega-6 and you are probably getting way too much of that already. At least you're not using "vegetable" oil though.

Also coconut milk/cream is a very nice filler. It tastes REALLY fucking good, and is full of healthy fat.

Try flax seed meal instead of oats.

My favourite shake right now is whole milk + coconut milk + water + chocolate whey + golden flax seed meal, chasing a tablespoon of lemon fish oil :)

milk + chocolate whey + flax

you'd be surprised at how well the flax fills you up

also put it in the fridge in a tight container also , flax goes bad quickly iff not stored properly

[SkinnyPupp]

"meal" = ground

[jeffh]

i do 2/3 cup of oats plus a cup of fruit plus cup milk and protein for my breakfast shake, i also eat 2 slices of toast with heaps of penut butter at the same time

i find if i have just a shake i start feeling kinda funky

where do u buy all this stuff? coconut milk + golden flax seed meal + lemon fish oil?

[SkinnyPupp]

Coconut milk you should be able to buy in any grocery store that sells Asian food. Make sure there is only ONE ingredient: Coconut Milk (or Cream). Chaokoh is my favourite brand, and the most common in Thailand.

Flax seed meal, look for it at any health food store, or even in the grocery stores. Make sure it comes in a container that is not clear, and keep it sealed and stored in the refrigerator.

Fish oil, the best deal I have come across are the 500 Ml bottles of Ascenta from YVS. It's about $40 for a bottle, which should last a couple months, depending on how much you are using. For fat-loss, you should be taking 2 Tbsp per day, so that's 2 bottles a month. This is one supplement that is totally worth paying the price for. If you were to attempt to do the same with standard capsules, you'd be looking at taking 20-30 pills a day.

holy shit man $80 a month if you're consuming 2 bottles/month

XD I like how you said a bottle should last a couple months depending on usage, then say for 2 tbsp a day you'll need 2 bottles to last a month. 2 tbsp isn't a lot man lol

[unit]

personally i cant stand the taste of flax seed meal

yeah dude i use the same stuff at take 2 tbsp and it last month and a half i think

[SkinnyPupp]

I just did the math

2 tbsp = 30 ml
1 bottle = 500 ml

500 / 30 = 16 days appx.

1 month = 30 days

30 / 16 = 2 appx

So approximately 2 bottles a month, if you are taking 2 full tablespoons every single day without skipping dosages.

[E=mc²]

lol I did the math too
I'm not saying you're wrong

I think there might be some confusion. I just thought it was funny because while reading your post I went from "wow $40 can last several months depending on dosage" to "wtf 2 bottles a month????" for what looked like a pretty standard dosage (2 tbsps a day). You had my hopes up for a sec there XD

Anyway enough about that,

For now I'm just finishing up my Wild Pacific Salmon Oil from OmegaFactors. 1000mg 210 softgels. I only got it cause it was like $17 at Popeyes lol.
Of course, not saying these are any better. In fact, I know fuck all when it comes to picking your brands for fish oil. One thing I know for sure though. I hate softgels.

[SkinnyPupp]

2 tbsp is not a "standard dosage", it's a very high dose that you take if you want to enjoy the weight-management benefits of fish oil. Most people don't realize that with any supplement or food, you usually have to take quite a high dose to get anything from them.

If you're just looking to help balance out your omega 3 - 6 ratio, then 2-3 teaspoons should be enough, along with removing all the garbage oil in your kitchen (canola, soybean oil, etc) with good oil (olive, coconut, lard).

[E=mc²]

oh is it? my bad then.
What I meant was standard if that's what it says to take in the bottle. ie. if the bottle has a recommended dosage of x amount, then that's the standard. I just assumed 1 tbsp twice a day would be what it says.

Just wondering, what DOES it say on the bottle? Like the recommended dose? Not for fat loss specifically.

[SkinnyPupp]

It says 1 or 2 teaspoons a day I believe

[hal0g0dv2]

lard ?

[SkinnyPupp]

What about lard?

[hal0g0dv2]

What about lard?

u eat lard ?

[SkinnyPupp]

Of course I do! Lard is a great saturated fat, full of good cholesterol.

If I can get flax seed meal (and yes, it's just ground flax seeds) in grocery stores in Hong Kong of all places, you should be able to get it at any grocery store in Canada.
