At the moment pwo i’ve been having cheap whey protein and a carton of pinapple juice which gives me 26g of carbs(sugars) and 17g of protein. is this sufficient? I can’t really afford Biotest because I live in the UK. Bear in mind I’m trying to bulk up, 6ft 1 and 145 pounds :(.
I would suggest, drop the cheap protein and the juice (way too much sugar) and focus more on lean meats, fish, cottage cheese and vegetables.
How old r u ?
I’m almost 19 and i haven’t put on any weight for about 3 years even though I been trying to eat more. I don’t have much choice on the food I eat cos my parents pay for it! But I’ve been drinking a lot of milk recently to gain weight. Isn’t whey protein all the same?

They really gouge you over there, don’t they? The price point is perfect for the USA, I wish we could all get our hands on it at that deal.
Buddy i know we get shafted in the UK. When i’m tight on cash my post workout involves some 40g dextrose powder (u can buy it from Sainsburys or Boots and its about 1.50 a box. This i then mix with whey protein, keep an eye out in Holland & Barrat for when they have their ‘better than half price sales’ I picked up 5 tubs of whey for ?10 as opposed to ?22, also there creatine goes on offer now again for half price.

Double this. Even triple the protein.
This is a longshot, why don’t u get a part time job and start buying your own food?
I have got a part time job at the weekends but its not enough to buy my own food. Bomberlow i did get my whey from holland and barratt in the sale, just need to wait for another sale now! I will try the dextrose powder though. Can’t find Berardi’s double tap whatever that is? Thanks for all your responses.
I agree with TriGWU (I feel sick for saying that)!
BTW-Double Tap is in the T-Nation radio player near the top left of the page.
