Bodybuilding protein drinks.

[Mad Cyril]

Does anyone else think these take a lot of the pleasure out of eating protein?

Why don't they do them in meat flavours such as steak, chicken, bacon etc. instead of chocolate, strawberry and banana?

 

[chapperzUK]

Are there any drinks that taste like meat?

Protein shakes are just a quick way of getting protein into the body, so I've never thought about the taste. Usually have a proper meal after one with either chicken or turkey.

Mmmm Bovril.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

They taste like ****. Would love one to taste like a full English

 

[Greebosan]

Bah, all you fitness freaks.

I won't touch them until they make them Benson & Hedges flavoured.

Has anyone tried the protein chocolate bars? Honestly the hardest thing I've ever had to eat. Takes about 20 chews to swallow a bite and you feel full-up after about half.

Didn't Panorama prove that these drinks are a complete waste of money for most people? They proved that the only people that really benefit are professional athletes like Jess Ennis, and even then the benefit is tiny. This is just a way for people to feel cool and make these companies huge amounts of money.

Those drinks are a for waste for anyone, if you want more protein just have whey mixed with water. Or like Ron Swanson eat Turf n' Turf.

Agreed. Supplements in general don't make that much difference to professional athletes, let alone us mortals.

I'd rather mix whey protein and water as it will be a lot cheaper.

Aren't these things the staple diet of the kind of tattooed ***wit that starts leaving the house in a vest once the temperature outside hits 5 degrees celsius?

Yes.

I wear those multicoloured baggy bodybuilder trousers as well.

There was a program about sports drinks (lucozade etc.), that might be what you're thinking of.

Nope. They looked at supplements, sports drinks (rubbished those aswell) and running shoes.

During the programme the professor at Harvard who did most of the research into running styles and shoes which spawned the industry said he had changed his mind! The only thing you need on your feet is a pair that you find comfortable, or nothing at all, i.e. run bare foot. It doesn't matter if you over-pronate like I do, all you have to do is change your running style and the shoes won't matter. That was news to me, especially as I'd just spent £140 quid on a pair!

Ah yes you're right I remember now.

All in all no different to a 'healthy' breakfast cereal. All BS but wins the consumers over with brilliant marketing

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

Just drink milk!

If people use them to bulk up, why not try Guiness? Seems to work for me.

Some cans of Bitter a day and I get all the fermenting malted barley other grains and yeast I need.

Only trouble I have is with the labeling, a six pack only helped me develop a one pack. :winking:
