I think of myself as Rocky Bilboa making a comeback.

I've got to go up against you punks and win, so I train hard and watch my diet.

And who's to say what's natural? The withering muscles of a pencil-necked geek who sits in front of a computer all day and into the night? Or the massive frame of my brother-in-law who works on a road crew?

That's great. Just for context, I'm taking the same stuff: whey protein (with dextrose and creatine), vanilla flavor.

It's easier to eat in large quantities. (For some people. Personally I can't stand it.)

Try a different brand/type. I personally love the stuff and how I feel when I'm incorporating it into my diet in place of some of my poorer choices.

I had to try several ones before I found one I could drink on a regular basis and not get vomity.

Wow, thanks for taking me back to my youth:

It's super convenient to have a whey shake once a day or more - especially if you're trying to have 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 2-3 big ones.
