^^That's the rule for active people.....and it's for everything you eat in a day....It's cheaper to get most of your protein from food than from protein powder, but the shakes are easier....

Thanks bro.

What supplements if any are you guys taking or took in the past?

yeah it's 1-1.5 grams total including shakes

and real food is actually better than shakes anyways... you should get MOST of your protein intake from actual food... I'd only recommend a shake right after you workout.. maybe in the morning and some casseine or slow digesting protein before bed... if you're pressed for time it's cool to drink a shake real quick... but you're better off eating some chicken or something

as far as how much protein in a chicken breast... depends on the size... I think it's like 39 grams in a 6 oz. chicken breast

whey protein, syntha-6 protein, fish oils, amino acids, multivitamins

I've taken cell mass, no-xplode, ce2, and animal pump in the past

I'm currently using jack3d which is a preworkout supplement

supplements are cool... but your diet is the main thing that's gonna determine your progress

I use Optimum Nutrition, works great. They have pretty much every protein (blends, iso, whey, soy, casein, organic) and tons of flavours. I also use a flax seed oil gel pill, and Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men multivitamin daily...

I know all about the diet thing. I just like supplements, it seems like they give me a lil more "umph"

I agree... I like supps to get that little extra edge

a lot of people are way too hung up on supplements though

people will have a shitty diet but hit the weights and take no-xplode and wonder why they're not getting swole
