Protein recomendations

Protein supplements offer nothing over real food. Increased protein intake beyond ~1g per kg of body weight does not increase muscle growth. If you like the taste and it gives you a feel good placebo effect, then sure go ahead, but there's no science behind it.

If your strength isn't increasing then you aren't lifting heavy enough, or you need more volume, or you aren't eating enough calories, or you aren't sleeping well enough. Protein is not the problem unless your diet is nothing but chips, and candy, and donuts, bread, cereal, and other processed crap like that.

DO NOT BUY SERIOUS MASS. Read the fucking ingredients in that shit.

"I eat three times a day"

First of all get off the fucking gainer and protein powder and track your calories and macros.

Gainer and protein powder don't make you jacked if you aren't eating enough calories. You can only gain weight on excess calories.

First read the r / fitness sticky. You need to read a lot if you ask this kind of question. First of you need to count your daily calorie intake. To get mass you need eat more than your TDEE(calorie intake), do you workout and rest properly. This is holy trinity of getting mass. Protein powder is quite economic way to get protein. Godspeed.

Eat real food instead. 3 neals a day is nothing. You should be eating 4-6 times. Eat nore foods. Supplements aren't magic keys to gains. You have to do your part. I can help you out?

Are u broke?
Walk me through a day of eating for you. I want to know what u eat and how much of it you eat.
What is your training like? What do you do in the gym?

Bro all u gotta do is first of all fix your diet to eating every 2-3 hours, which should equate to 4 to six meals a day. Next your training should consist of mostly compund lifts. Work out 4 to 6 times a week.

You want to get big, this is how in the most basic terms. I started 1 year ago. 5 11, 170 lbs. But i saw the most gains since i focused on these 2 things 4 months ago. I now weigh 205. Strength fucking exploded.

Protein supplements are not your solution.

Also look up alphadestiny on youtube.
