Which Whey?

[MattUK666]

Hey

There are so many different Whey protein companys, I am not sure which is the best one?!

I want to buy it from Ebay in the UK, because it saves alot of money than buying it in shops.

My goal is to accomplish 400 grams of protein per day, so, I need a high protein shake to take after my workouts.

Or is Whey like test? As in, there all the same...lol?

Thanks!

Found it, you mean your on this stuff? It looks good!!

Ok, just read it, 2 scoops is 60g Protein, and £28 gives you 28 scoops, Man it costs alot to be big! haha!

Totally worth it.

Ok I think im going to go with this one and buy it now seeing as your on it and it looks good.

Thanks!!!

Yeah, the weight gainer I used did have whey in it, I just mean ive never used just whey.

I know you have probably seen 5000 other posts by now, but remember my diet post with the shake I was using in it? 1200 calories, 120 carbs, 80 protein? You said it was no good, so I didnt buy any more.

I am not so much trying to gain size anymore, im trying to gain definition, so im guessing pure whey is the whey to go

[MattUK666]

Jammy how many shakes do you drink per day of pro complex?

And how much protein do you have per day?

Thanks!

[jamyjamjr]

i drink 1 shake a day...

im a big guy dude.. im 6'4 275 at 15% so my protien intake ranges from 350-400g a day.... not an easy task, but i do love to eat..

[jamyjamjr]

i love choclate...

and cake... (where's T when u need him.. lmao)

[MattUK666]

Jeez you are a big guy!

The reason I want 400g of protein, is because of the video I watched that you gave me, he said 2g of protein per pound of body weight, which amounts to around 386, so im saying 400g as a goal, even though I know it will be tough.

Thanks for your help!

u really dont need that much protien bro....

whats your tdee/bmr??

what's your split gonna look like??

a guy your size can get away with doing 300g easy bro.. your body isn't gonna use 400g...

[MattUK666]

Yeah your right, 400g is too much, hmm, but he did say 2g per pound? I really do want to push it?

300g would be a much easier goal...lol...im not sure what tdee or bmr mean?

Split, well I train 3/4 days per week, I do arms usually twice per week, then back and bi's, and chest on the 3rd day.

BMR= Basal Metabolic Rate and is the number of calories you burn on average in a day if you didn't get out of bed(no activity)

TDEE(TDCE)=Total Daily Energy Expenditure(Total Daily Calorie Expenditure) and is the total number of calories you burn in a day with an activity factor calculated, btw TDEE is more accurate than TDCE IMO and i'll explain why if you like though it's kinda trivial


Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )



once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
