I thought this article was interesting, especially on the area of sports drink and recovery items.

i dont know wether it is worth me spending money on protein shakes for post gym activities when i dont need it...not really willing to spend 25 quid on something i dont need.i find that if you just talk, your mouth comes out with stuff - Karl Pilkington0 -
You don't need it. There's no reason to consume your nutrients as a drink - they're already in your food, so just make sure you eat a healthy diet.
It's baffling how many people fall for the marketing hype.0 -
yeh thats pretty much what the personal trainer said to me. am avoiding stuff like that.i find that if you just talk, your mouth comes out with stuff - Karl Pilkington0

You're referring to weight lifting of some form I assume. If not let me know.jakjtb wrote:T.M.H.N.E.T wrote:

The programs claims were not about protein but about associated stuff like BCAA's making unsubstantiated claims, anyone with a reasonable interest in sport should know that protein is an essential building block for muscle fibre.
I worked out roughly earlier that 1 serving of myprotein impact whey - is cheaper and contains more protein than a pint of semi-skimmed milk from ASDA. If you really need it outside of typical diet, there are ways and there are price points.0 -
its not hardcore weight lifting but yeh essentially. trouble is you get so many different opinions that you dont know what to do.i find that if you just talk, your mouth comes out with stuff - Karl Pilkington0

RDA's of protein vary between lazy people, endurance sport and weightlifting disciplines but 1.5g per lean kg bodyweight probably isn't a bad place to start. Just multiply your weight by 1.5 and if needs be use programs like myfitnesspal to give you an idea of where the intake is,how much and where you could get more.jakjtb wrote:its not hardcore weight lifting but yeh essentially. trouble is you get so many different opinions that you dont know what to do.0 -

Even if you're a hardcore weightlifter, there's no need.jakjtb wrote:its not hardcore weight lifting but yeh essentially. trouble is you get so many different opinions that you dont know what to do.
My brother was an European championship weightlifter, and never bothered with any supplements. Just a healthy diet, and a fair bit of meat, and some eggs.
Just normal food, basically.0 -

The lack of evidence to support sport foodstuffs. Your go. Unless you can offer up some comprehensive studies supporting them, then kindly F the F off.0
