Protein ? What sources do you use.

Ok I wanna ask you smart men and women a question?Do you use different sources of protein depending if your bulking or cutting?
Do you switch up your selection toward the end of your cycle or as you get closer to a show for those that compete.?


Such as more red meat in the beginning or for a bulk .. and change to a lighter source like fish toward the end. As you dial in do you try and go to a less fatty source of protein , more lean.
Or does it not matter at all. I wanna hear some thoughts and opinions on how you get in your protein. ? And from where. ?And if there is a specific reason why?


Also night time do you prefer to take in a slower absorbing protein like casein?
Inquiring minds wanna know. ?
Do you set up your food like you set up your cycle?? In stages ??? And with each stage you make minor tweaks and adjustments. ??

I do whey protein powder post workout only. They I eat pretty much all meats for protein and I also like greek yogurt which has a bunch of slow digesting protein.

Beans...just kidding lol

I like peanut butter. It has a lot of fat but I burn it off

I eat lots of eggs, fish, chicken and protein shakes.

You see that now you can get store bought eggs to hatch chickens. You could raise your own chickens. That could be a protein source

my protein sources dont change from off season to prep. may lower the intake of some but not by much. i eat year round

turkey
beef
whole eggs
egg whites
fish
whey protein
chicken on occasion

My wife will not let me have chickens. I asked.

This last 2weeks I've upped my fish and salad.. been putting down about 1gallon of water every day.. I've had chicken and not much red meat. Sugar has been kept to a minimum. I've been having 2 tablespoons of pb before bed. Down 11 pounds. Hopefully when I get up today it will be 12lbs.
Beans... I can really go for some homemade Cajun beans. Getting ready for bed.

My protein sources dont change for bulk or cut, theyre the same. I use eggs, egg whites, bacon, chicken wings and whey mainly as well as some Humapro. I do love some grilled salmon when i can find a quality supplier. I love the wild caught.

i dont think bacon counts as protein freak haha

I eat 2 cans of tunafish a week and eat a lot of eggs. Also like canned salmon. Fresh is best but speed of prep and ease of consumption is important as busy as I am. I love making salmon patties (from the can) fried in avocado oil. Lots of omega 3 fatty acids and protein.

Ive been on whey protein isolates for 30 years. It works and the lactoferrin in it boosts your immune system and immumnoglobulins

Mostly eggs and chicken.

Well, 3 slices has 12g fat and 12g protein. BUT i wouldnt suggest making it a staple. in moderation of course.

in all seriousness, i do know dudes that cook bacon up and then put the grease in a jar. they then use that to add to their other meals to boost their fat intake. so i guess you can get a double whammy with bacon in some cases

When I lived in KC and came to NC to visit family, I'd stop at the first BO I found. Id walk in and order 10 country ham biscuits and a large sweet tea. I sat down and would eat about 5 or 6 and save the others to eat every few hours of the drive, helped keep me awake lol

cant go wrong with ham biscuits sugar or salt cured haha. and the sweet tea haha creating diabitcs for decades. all this great food is what makes it hard to stay in shape in the south

an Egg white. Also, I mix peanut butter, oats, whey & banana... But don't forget to eat a real food protein. :)

Drink a lot of water if you consume more protein to avoid kidney disease. Also, eat a well balance nutrition foods and supplements to give your body what it needs most. :)

Going back on keto so my entire diet especially protein side consist of pretty much

Whole eggs
Steak when I can afford it
Salmon when I can afford it
80/20 ground beef
Chicken thighs and legs
Bacon
Protein powder
Nuts

Oh yeah, I forgot about Labrada lean body. Those were great. I wonder if those are still around. Then came EAS Myoplex. I drank a lot of Strawberry Myoplex.
Back in the early 90s when Met-Rx first came out it was the greatest thing ever
