Whey protein

**rock1849** · 03-06-2012, 12:18 PM

Does anyone actually know the recommended intake of protein from shakes would amount to? I currently have about 120g from whey and 130g from poultry, fish, eggs etc

i think you have too much from whey, my total intake is 300g, less than 50g from whey

You must be a millionaire! I tried eating more from natural sources but it killed my wallet. Being a part time student does not help with trying to eat clean

my meal plan costs about $20-25 a day. all high-quality fresh foods. Not that expensive, I am also a student

I'm going to try and eat 200g naturally and see how much it costs. I'll let you know how it goes

I get about 100 grams through 2-3 protein shakes per day and the rest in food like eggs,,beef,,chicken,,fish..etc..

That works out to roughly $600 - $750 per month just for food, which for some is actually quite expensive. Esp if they're on a low, or fixed income.

It's great if you can afford it, but for a lot of people, who still want to stay fit, and eat healthy, it is quite expensive. Just saying.

I agree, 750.00 a month fir one person is extreme, I eat 4000+ cals a day very clean with 300g+ protein with2 shakes, I do spend that much cash a month but I feed a family of 4!!
