Why not spend more effort on training?

+ a whole lot.

Drink some milk or eat some tuna or chicken. Done.

People way overcomplicate things.

I wouldn't consider drinking a protein shake overcomplicating anything. I agree it's very easy to drink milk, eat tuna or chicken...but's it's pretty easy to drink a protein shake too.

My bad. I misread the OP and thought he was mixing all of those things into his protein shake.

I know it's unfair, but I can't hear about protein without thinking of "My New Haircut."

"MAA! WHERE'S MAH PROTEIN!"

I'm also trying to build muscle lately, and so I've been eating a lot of cottage/feta cheese and nuts. Are the latter protein sources?

They do contain protein but they contain more fat than anything else. You should find a leaner protein source (e.g. protein shakes, chicken, tuna, turkey, etc).

this is very nearly my morning ritual. except i don't do the whey protein. and i've been known to add some cooking dark chocolate to the mix. i just wish there was some surefire trick to getting the blender to really deal with the ice well.

wow i like all these protein shake ideas. But you guys must be spending upwards of 40-50 bucks a week!?!? Does any one know a cheaper shake or mixture that would work just the same.
