It takes me around 2-3 weeks to finish my tub. It is pricey, but bodybuilding is an expensive sport.

i buy in increments of 10lb's...on 100% gold standard. polish that off in a month and a half. keep in mind you want to be taking casein at night, not whey. that will save your 5lb tub from running dry. typically you'd want to spread your increments out to this. 24 grams upon wake up, 20-24grams pre wo (about 30 mins prior to your session) then another 24-32 grams immediatly post wo, then i take a casein shake 20 mins before bed.

Kirk you look like you have a little size on you with only taking 24 grams at a time Are you sure you are getting enuff protein in during the day?
I have at least 50 gms in each shake and still have trouble getting the rest of what i need from food

im in a cut now so decresing my protein intake for some odd reason slimmed me down real well while still maintaining great strength and mass. when i was bulking i was bringing in about 30g pre wo, 50g post. i've kept my diet up and thats whats helping me feel like im bringing in enough protein throughout the 24 hours. i just through up a thread so i could definitely use some critiquing there and you can see just how im splitting my day up between sleep hours, diet, protein intake, carbs, cals, etc etc etc.

6-7 scoops per day is a lot. Are you getting enough protein from solid food?
