    Who is still around here? Question on getting protein in the M.E.

    Hey guys,

    Ive been out of contact quite a while. Im back in the US for a short time, and will be leaving for somewhere in the Middle East. Can anyone who has lived in the region comment on how easy it is to get quality non-counterfeit protein and other supplements?

    Nope because real bodybuilders eat whole foods as much as possible :-)

    Good to see you here! Several of us were wondering if you'd be coming back! How was Eastern Europe?

    Haz, ohhh we have a comedian on our hands here. Where Im going access to certain foods is completely impossible to get. But rather, I am looking for a high cal, high carb, weight gainer because of the heat in the area, I need to stay hydrated but Ill be burning A LOT of calories everyday, so I need a real excess.

    Kel, where I was staying, it was absolutely beautiful. I actually hope to make my way back there, and am even thinking about buying an apartment in the capitol, depending on whether or not things calm down a bit. The week before I left a car bomb killed a journalist very proximal to where I lived. And now there are 40k Russian troops at the border. Its a tenuous situation there, but they're quite resilient people and forge ahead no matter what.

    Ive lost quite a bit of weight because of my working hours and conditions, I am now quite skinny, and while not at square one, am at a point where I can build myself back up from the base I have. Im no longer interested in being huge, I need to focus my efforts on a more athletic physique, granted, I still want to fill out my shirts, etc.

    Well, it seems as if you made your exit at just the right time. Hopefully it calms down and you can return if you wish! Muscle has a memory as you know. It'll be back in no time if you want it to be.

    It you have a couple pics, throw them up if you can!

    Are you wanting to purchase it there or have it shipped to you? I know True Nutrition will ship to APO/FPO/DPO.

    This is what I was going to say or have someone re-mail it to you from the states.

    Im not sure if thats an option in this particular country. I will be staying on a base as opposed to when I was in Europe living in the capitol. The gym on base is really nice actually, so Im going to imagine there will be a place to get protein at the least.

    I would ask, you guys cant get care packages when deployed? You might not be able to get it through that particular country's mail, but through the forces I would think.

    LOL Imagine a moped speeding up to your base with your pack strapped on the back and they shoot that sucker to bits........"Guys that was my protein!"

    edit: How about pre-purchase and bring it with you or ship it through the forces right before you go?
