Depends what your goals are
[off topic but why phnom penh...you been? or you from there?]
I'm thinking protein shakes might be the option. As I don't have time in mornings to have a large breakfast. I can only grab lunch. And so dinner/post workout would be next one.
Without the 6 meals a day, having a higher protein intake might be a better idea.
Protein shake at breakfast and evening/post workout? Or is that too much?
Goals....toned and defined muscle..but not arnie style i don't want to be huge.

Wish I had a pound for everytime I've heard or read that exact statementrossyl said:
Trust me on this one, there's absolutely zero chance of you turning into Arnold
Protein shakes are very handy and convenient. If you're serious about building some muscle then try some. Fantastic for straight after a workout, great for a quick burst of amino acids first thing in the morning (though don't try and replace your breakfast with it! supplement your breakfast with it
) also very good for mixing with milk before bed.If you do decide to try some protein powder then I can't recommend these guys highly enough myprotein you'll save yourself a fortune there over high street prices. If you need any advice on what to get just ask

Whey Concentrate 80 (Euro) is your best bet. I suggest getting it unflavoured see if you can drink it in water, it's got a very neutral flavour to it. If you don't like it then you can always add Nesquik to it or similar.
You can get a 5lb bag for £14.99 from this page and they also sell empty tubs. 5lb should last you quite a while, it's roughly 75 servings.
Use the code MP5500 for a further 5% off your first order
EDIT - It's possible to get 10lb for £23 using the price matcher but it's a huge tub. I doubt you'd need so much.

Sly! You beat me to it, Damn you people are you discount codes lol
On a side note, It's probably worth getting the 10lb tub as you get free delivery with this whereas with the bag you'll have to pay about £4 for delivery.

Actually for £20 for a 5lb it isn't too bad when compared to a lot of other companies but even on it's special offer it's still almost double the price of what I use and it's no better.helpimcrap said:

Go to http://www.myprotein.co.uk/ and scroll to the bottom of the page and enter into the price matcher: www.sports-nutrition.net and the protein will come up as the top answer.

As said protein shakes are great when you've got little time. Add some blended oats and a dab of creatine and it's a great bulking shake!

So it does!Fusion said:
Then I chage what I say. Even at £20 it wasn't that good, at £40 it's a total rip-off and if your workmate swears by it and recommends it then more fool him. You leave him to believe the marketing hype... you now know betterhelpimcrap said:
