i just got back from Costco and picked up a container of protein mix. they only have chocolate flavor, but 36,000 �� for 6lbs is a great deal , especially since its made in the USA. im posting this because I know some people (including myself) were looking for protein a while back.

i always wondered why people buy that stuff. is it good for cleaning the bathroom?

Questions:

1/ What is an lbs

2/ What is protein mix.

X, if i want to bulk up more, this is the way to go?

Can it be useful if I want to lose weight, but still get the protein I need while dieting?

I gave up on protein mix after seeing the prices, and decided eating a couple cans of tuna a day would be more fun. Where is the COSTCO? I haven't seen one since I lived in LA five years ago...

Whey is a very efficient protein but I gave up taking due to the prices here in Korea. Besides, if you're looking to bulk up, you'll need more than just protein. Try a carb mix.

Here's the protein shake I make for a lot less money. It has about 25 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat and 52 grams of carbs.

1/4 cake Silken tofu (like the stuff for sundubu)
1 cup Lowfat milk
1/4 cup dried millk powder (if you can find it)
Chocolate milk powder to taste.

For more carbs, put some dry oatmeal in a blender and grind it down to a fine powder, then add it to the above ingredients. This won't enhance the taste (trust me), but just guzzle it down, get on with your day, and think of the money you're saving. Alternatively, you can buy the grain powder they sell in the grocery stores here (Misgaru).

You can also add fruit instead of chocolate to vary the taste.

lb = pound, therefore lbs = pounds. sorry if that was confusing.

protein mix is a whey protein powder that you mix with water, milk, or anything else you like.

Derrek-i think taking this is a good way to add some protein to your diet, even if you're looking to lose weight. I'm not working out at the moment, but I feel really unhealthy, and I think a lot of this is due to the lack of protein in my diet.

Tuna is ok, but thats why this is called a 'supplement.' To supplement your diet. Plus, tuna can taste really gross if you eat it too often I think.

There are 90 servings in the container. Here are the specs for each serving:
Calories-120
Fat-1.5g
Choleserol-42mg
Total Carb -4g
Protein-22g

Sorry, but where is COSTCO?

[Derrek]

I'm looking for something low-fat that will fill me up, or help to, so i'm not hungry for snacking so much.

Hey anybody wanna make a run to costco this week and stock up?

[Thunndarr]

Went there already and picked some up. I have to say, it tastes a lot better than that Prolab stuff from Namdaemun.
