Hehe, simple, cheap and effective, I like it LiE

I'll give that a go next week. This week isn't going to involve much gym-going, as I have to study for my final CCNA exam next week

A little CV will do me this Friday and I have climbing on Saturday anyway.

Thanks again,

David

If anyone's after some decent bars for work/convenience, these are pretty tasty and good value.

Works out nutrition wise similar to a oats + whey shake but a lot more convenient, I have a couple boxes at work and they're nom nom. Work out to 66p each which is pretty good really.

How manys in a box then?

Good value though, considering a Double-Decker sets you back 70p or so

Well that's the point innit

. A tasty alternative to a chocolatey snack with reasonable nutrition. Oats + Whey is cheaper, but these are a lot more convenient at work. Also people don't think I'm on steroids because I have a whey shaker with me at work

Probably none, that's my point. Some would moan about the price, but when you see people spending that much on a bar of chocolate

P.S: I must be blind.

Ta for clarifying.

Skill, hurry up and get lifting.

Just worried that double decker was what popped into your head when working out the relative value of a protein flapjack. If you eat chocolate bars and in your head you are thinking "well its ok cos its better than nothing" then dont. If you dont eat them then good and im just reading your mind wrong

Haha!

No I don't sit here and eat chocolate bars (although I frickin LOVE Double-Decker bars!!!!

) I was just comparing the averaged price chocolate bar to a protein bar

If they taste nice and theres room in the diet for them then it's something I'd look at, especially if you have a job where you can sit and eat rice and chicken or something

Delvis · 13 Jun 2012 at 14:49

Oh, and there is 2.6g of Protein in a Double Decker!

I may find room in my diet for it.

Those bars look like a good deal, fantastic to have at work.

But I won't be buying until next month; I'm so poor it's unreal

Thank goodness it's pay day in the next week and a bit.

Delvis · 13 Jun 2012 at 15:14

You know nothing of POOR.

Do not come in here and talk about being poor with ME :mad:

Gamefreak501 · 13 Jun 2012 at 15:17

Haha, a number in the two figures to my name

Not good

Try the minus numbers, that's where I'm at.

Forever rocking.

I need to buy some bedtime extreme, but nooooooooooooooooo

Gamefreak501 · 13 Jun 2012 at 15:20

Ah, I remember being in the minus figures, it took me a while to get out.

Unless I put the 24 bars on my credit card...

Hmmm

David

tom_e · 13 Jun 2012 at 15:27

I can't remember the last time there wasn't a minus next to my bank balance, it was at least 5years ago!

Chris1712 · 14 Jun 2012 at 13:22

Ordered those flapjacks yesterday afternoon, just arrived. Great service from BBW, free delivery aswell

.
Also ordered some Alpha Men multivits from MyProtein which arrived at the office today, only they came in an addressed package with no name on! Cue the receptionist ripping them open and accusing me of buying steroids and delivering them here. I guess it has an unusual name but come on, people's disdain for gym ratz is really starting to get to me. If I went to the gym 3x a week and did a hamster wheel routine they'd praise me for my healthiness

Know exactly what you mean. I often hide / play down the effort I go to (not that my effort is nearly as much as some of the people on here) because of the stigma - protein shakes = unhealthy / gym = just wanting to get jacked for the honies etc.

My mum's a doctor and she finds the protein heavy diet/use of shakes very strange (I'm pretty sure she disagrees), despite the marked change the diet and exercise have had on my fitness/build.

I'm starting a new job next week and so far the impression I've got is that it's mostly the older generation that work in the office so it'll be fun to hear all their opinions on it
