Considerations

>Prep time
Powders or raw milk are easier. Actual food is more difficult.

>Goals
Milk is good for outright bulking. Something like chicken, tuna, or EAS would be good for lean bulk or cutting.
I just used a few different items that people are familiar with and some powders that are fairly popular.

Some of you might already be employing some of these formulas.
If anyone has a food suggestion that they think will rank well, or horribly, post it.
