Since we’re all a bunch of active tankies over here, I wanted to discuss the usage of supplements.
In Belgium/The Netherlands the majority of the fitfluencers have convinced their young audience that you won’t be able to get ripped if you don’t take their 40 euro pre workout filled with near lethal amounts of caffeine.
Of course, you don’t need to take all these things in order to improve your physical health. I myself, for example, quit using supplements apart from some vitamin B and calcium supplements (mainly because I eat plant based food and you tend to get shortages of these two things faster). I used to take (vegan) protein shakes for a while but they always upset my stomach and I figured I might as well get my nutrients from food alone.
What kind of, if any, supplements do you take? And how does it benefit you?
I like to steal protein powder from Whole Foods. I just aim for 40-50g protein daily because I’m doing my funny lil manual labors every day.
Based
As in, total daily intake? Or just from shakes?
Just from shakes. Actual dinner is usually very carb heavy with some vegetables because we gotta make food for a lot of people. So most of my protein usually comes from some eggs for breakfast and a shake.
