Protein Sources

cottage cheese is a good source, the whey protein in the powders are more economical in the big containers -- but maybe a friend or a good store will let you sample some smaller sizes for taste. I personally like the taste of the whey products better than the soy protiens --- but that's a personal thing.

I often each cottage cheese and yogurt (low fat, low sugar) as a mid day snack.

tuna in water is probably the best source of protein you can get.

i eat 6xday. i have def. leaned out as a result including an increase in energy! i have 3 meals and 3 shakes in between. gnc has great whey protein for a great price.

I use nitro-tech protein powder. I don't know if it is all that much better than regualr whey like it states. I noticed no difference over intaking the same amount of whey protein. So in retrospect I may switch to a cheaper whey when this canister is up.

same here.

3 shakes w/ oats, 3 meals. and a FF fudge pop at the end if i've been good!

I really like Myoplex. I workout before and after work, so I lug around 4 or 5 meals at a time. The myoplex orginal has ~ 290 cals, 3g fat, 23g Carbs, 42g Protein, 3g fiber Toss in 1/4 cup of oats (75 cal, 1g fat, 24g carb, 2g pro, 2g fiber) and you've got a mean PWO meal or meal replacement.

What is also nice about them is they come in singe serve packs. I toss in 3 packs, a shaker, and a 1.5 cups of oats with 2 meals out of the freezer. that's the chow for the day.

Being in college, prepared food will help fuel the body and keep good stuff on hand.

I am a fan of the GNC whey powder as well, and have been using it and switching up the flavors for some time now. Once I bought a can of a different brand thet GNC sold for a while and it was AWFUL. Stick to the real thing!
