What proteines do you use for rowing?

How much are you getting from the food you normally eat?

I get over 2g per kilo of bodyweight from mine so no need for any supplements.

Occasionally i'll have a Whey Protein shake after a row. But this is mostly only when i have eaten little or nothing, to get some quick protein onboard.

Natural high protein quality foods like chicken, meats, eggs, nuts, peanut butter etc are generally where i'll get most of my protein from.

....or when you've run out of real food and you really CBA to go to the shop!

All part of a "dirty bulk"
I actually did that end of last year when I consumed 4000-4500 cals/day for about 6 weeks. I didn't see any big strength increases (beyond relative newbie gains) but my lower belly fat got more substantial. I got to about 77kg which is about what I am now, maybe 78kg atm BUT crucially I am leaner now. I have found eating cleaner and getting 3000-3300 cals/day gives me steady lean gains with minimal fat increase. These do not include ergo calories burnt. I did a period recently of a 3-4 weeks at around 2500 cals/day and I did gradually cut.

It's so easy to get lazy and order takeouts a lot Though when i do order food it's usually got good amounts of fresh chicken involved which ain't no bad thing. I just try not to make a habit of it and will mostly go shopping for fresh produce. It's when you start having more than 2 a week it starts to show around your mid section So maybe once a fortnight i order in as a treat and i'm active enough that it's not showing I gotta be honest though i don't do the calorie count thing... wouldn't suprise me if i exceed it most days
