Wicked source of protein & fibre, and versatile enough to use in a lot of recipes. Quest protein bars have a very good nutritional profile and would make a great addition to any diet.
I hear ya RWF. I'm in the 165-170 range (give or take with water weight), and would like to be between 175-180. I don't want to eat complete garbage (not saying anything you listed is garbage haha), but I also simply cannot afford to buy a **** ton of food to eat.
All I can say is gains take time and lots of patience.
It was easy at first. I hadn't really worked out in a few years (since I quit playing hockey) and started getting a bit too skinny. I think I was at about 140. didn't take me more than a couple of months to get to 155, but from there to 160 has been a different story. I'm in no rush though. If I can get to 170 before the end of the year, I'll be more than happy.
For bulking up, the one thing that helped me was homemade weight gainers. The one's you buy are bad for you, but your choice of protein+milk+oats+cocoanut oil is killer. Tastes amazing too
I'll definitely try this. Dont know where to go to get coconut oil or oats (other than oatmeal), but I'm sure I can figure it out. Google is my friend
