How much protein are we actually getting in a single Snickers bar?

Thanks, I really needed to know that. Small problem though—I didn't get one of those little scoops you usually find in protein tubs to show you the serving size. Any idea how I can eyeball out 30g? Like, how much is in a standard tablespoon or something?

What would actually happen if you mixed this with some 2.8% milk?

So, look, I haven't scrolled through the old threads yet, so I figured I'd just ask: which one of these two is actually better? I’m hitting the gym 6 days a week, standing 6'1", and weighing about 180 lbs.

And what you're saying 😁

placidranger said:You gain weight from a calorie surplus. You can get those extra calories by just eating more regular food, or you can make it easier with protein powder (think of Whey protein as basically skim milk powder—there are some differences, but who cares right now). There’s no magic "miracle food" that's just going to make muscles explode out of you.
Basically, you need to eat way more calories, mostly protein. You'll find the most of that in meat, cheese, eggs, stuff like that. If you're too lazy to chew, just buy a tub of Whey.

thanks 😉)

I don't care about muscles exploding or whatever, I just want the weight 😉

Anonymous said:The real trick is getting your diet dialed in... check out this. If you're looking at supplements, just stick to some Whey and glucose. Throw in some multivitamins and Omega 3s if you want...

So you're saying I should just grab that massive tub of protein? 🙂

Alright, so I'm playing handball and looking to pack on about 15-20 lbs.
I’m not trying to turn into a bodybuilder or anything; I just want a decent, healthy weight.
If I start hitting the protein supplements, am I going to end up looking absolutely massive, or will I just look... normal?
Does this stuff actually help with gaining weight, or is it just bad for you? (Been off the grid for a bit, so I'm asking the experts here)
