Hi Guys,
I would like to start using shakes after workout but can't decide which one to go for as I'm lactose intolerance. I bought chick pea protein and its horrible flavour. Any suggestions?

There are so many foods that are rich in protein and not containing lactose, so are you dead set on shakes?2
-
To be honest I'm not but i don't know much about food after workout : My bfast would be egg if i dont train in the morning and porridge if i do0

You can actually eat anything anytime. If you want to eat right after exercise, just bring portable food.1
-
if i train in the morning i eat more carbs and then i try no carbs for the day and if i train in the evening all day i eat no carbs and only dinner with carbs. Am I doing it ok or im messed up all together? Im trying to follow food plans of Joe wicks1

I don't know who Joe Wicks is, but unless he's with you all the time and slaps you if you don't stick to his plans, you can eat whatever you want, and I really think it's a better idea to just eat normal balanced meals.2

hahaah do you have any rules that you follow to balance your daily meals?0

I've seen Joe wicks' programs on TV.... They make me want to bang my head against a wall and/or throw abuse at the TV. He sprouts so much rubbish.
I plan my whole day of meals. I have a certain amount of each macro I'm trying to hit and I don't care where, when, how I get to that amount!0 -
Yes, I actually do! For breakfast and lunch, I have (the equivalent of) 1 slice of bread with something (fish/meat/cheese) on it, 100 grams of whole milk, and one portion of fruit and raw vegetable. I vary my meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner are always different - but sometimes I can eat the exact same things for breakfast or lunch a few days in a row, depends on what I have on hand that needs to be eaten fast. The equivalents can be (partly exchanged for) porridge w/butter, crispbread, boiled egg; for lunch, I can also have omelet, smoothie, noodles, salad, unplanned leftovers, or practically anything. Dinners are a protein, a starch and a veg. Sometimes I make a casserole, which has all those components; if I make vegetable soup, I have dessert; if I have "breakfast for dinner", I add some raw vegetables and maybe milk.0

do you think his meals useless? i like few bits but i try to keep simple0 -
Simple is not the same as easy. Look at my description of my routines - they look so complicated written down, but in practice, it's really simple and intuitive (for me). Trying to not eat carbs half of the day sounds really easy, but it's not, and it's completely unnecessary.0

Carbs like cereal/rice/pasta/potato (include 1 portion at each main meal and ensure it fills no more than ¼ of your plate) -Your clenched fist
Protein like meat/poultry/fish/tofu/pulses (aim to have a portion at each meal) -Palm of your hand
Cheese (as a snack or part of a meal) -2 of your thumbs
Nuts/seeds (as a snack or part of a meal)-1 of your cupped hands
Butter/spreads/nut butter (no more than 2 or 3 times a day)-The tip of your thumb
Savouries like popcorn/crisps (as a snack/treat)-2 of your cupped hands
Bakes like brownies/flapjacks (as an occasional treat)-2 of your fingers
does that looks like something u follow?0 -

EDIT: Your rules actually come with context, which we don't see often, it's a great improvement, but I still think it's unnecessarily restrictive and you'll have to memorize those sizes and decide what is what for each item.1 -
oh my head is melting ill try my best to load all into MFP and see how im getting on .Ill keep following simple combination rules

i just bought a plant based Pure Protein brand can of strawberry flavored protein powder and it was disgusting! tasted like pure chalk. i ended up throwing it all away and repurposing the can. so that's my recommendation. DON'T buy that stuff! i have tried some hemp protein powder that wasn't too bad but i think it was just plain hemp protein so i had to jazz it up a little with like sweet almond milk.. it's a little on the expensive side though and it does go bad so you need to buy fresh. you could probably make your own out of ground up hemp seeds, i think that's basically what it was. i also used to make nut milk shakes in a magic bullet blender. those weren't bad. some walnuts or almonds or whatever nut you like and some water and agave sweetener. not awful and little chewy bits at the end that were pretty yummy. though honestly i think i'd prefer a glass of almond milk and a handful of nuts raw not blended.0

As you will have noticed, what's regarded as simple and easy (or head-melting) will be highly individual - your chart does not just look unnecessarily complicated, but also like bad* science, to me. Note number 7 is the only thing that rings true to me.
*very bad, very very bad. How can people recommend this to anyone, and sleep at night?1 -
OWYN protein powder is 1000x the best vegan I have ever tried and I've had them all. If you message them on facebook they send you free samples!1

One of the benefits of calorie counting is that you can throw away all these types of silly rules - which are really only a roundabout way of reducing your calories.2 -
FYI, whey protein isolate contains no lactose. I'm pretty sure even regular whey protein contains very little lactose.
Fairlife milk (just filtered milk) is lactose-free. Fairlife makes protein shakes that are (more filtered milk) and lactose free. Shelf stable too, I prefer them at room temp.
I'm lactose intolerant. I use whey protein isolate when I need more low calorie protein in my day, I mix it with cashew milk (best nut milk I've found) because it's lactose free and low calorie, tastes better than water. Now I use fairlife whole as I'm not restricted on calories anymore and it's more protein. But I don't find the need to add protein to my diet now that I'm in maintenance and allowed more calories.
I drink protein shakes when I'm unable to eat in a timely manner. Like yesterday I went to the gym and then had to run errands after, right through lunchtime. I had a protein shake. I wouldn't always have one after the gym, but this held me over until I got home around 2.1 -
My sister uses Garden Life.
I like my 1stphorm. They even have a vegan range. I have a tiny bit of lactose intolerance but the original products haven't bugged me. They also taste great instead of like chalk.1 -
My personal favorite for flavor is the S.A.N. Chocolate Peanut Butter (vegan) one. It tastes good with just water.0
