    I've been looking for foods high in protein to build muscle and the only suggestions i got was to buy a bucket of whey, this stuff is expensive so i was wondering if anyone had any cheap alternatives?

    cheers.

    Eggs.

    Scramble a bunch of egg whites and you've got a cheap low fat protein.

    Lean meat and eggs. In the long run it's probably cheaper to buy a 10lbs bag of Optimum 100% Whey from Amazon.

    Whey isn't too expensive for how long it lasts.

    Whey protein isn't terribly expensive. If you go for the isolate it gets to be a bit much, maybe, but it isn't really required. You can get a decent supply for about $25 a month. Try getting that from chicken breasts and other food and so on...it'll cost you a hell of a lot more. Plus the supplement delivers it promptly for recovery, better then any food.

    If one is taking whey, they should also be taking L-glutamine too for best results. 30g of whey mixed with 5g of L-glutamine.

    But alone, it'll do the job.

    While I can't prove against all of it, alot of the guys arguments aren't great. Going through some of them that stick out:

    I don't know if the stuff about the drugs etc given to cattle is the case for us in the UK If so, I've not heard about it. So I'd rather go by a UK source for that half of it. I doubt that it holds relevance to organic milk either, if you feel it's a major issue.

    Just because other sources maybe better for calcium, it doesn't make milk a bad source.

    So what if many people have cow's milk intolerance/allergy? If you don't then that's not relevant to you.

    Our earliest ancestors didn't have milk... so what? They didn't eat as much meat as we do, have the intelligence we do, live in houses... his point there doesn't really mean anything.

    osteporosis maybe lower in non-western countries, but that's confounded by many things. Alcohol/being less active/women having fewer children/caucasian are all other risk factors that I expect to be more common in the west.

    To name just a few of his arguments
