100% raw oats, blended with some liquid.
Is it ok to eat them raw? Why does everybody boil them?
>>36806110
We need answers
>>36806110
To make porridge.
>>36806110
It would have the same benefits, if not more, right?
>>36806011
My brother gave me a 24 pack of these, 8 of each flavor.
I usually crash in the middle of the day for no reason so these are nice to have, also it makes going to sleep later a lot easier.
>>36806110
It tastes better, and is more filling when cooked. Other than that there's no difference, it just adds water content.
>>36806011
Monster is bad for you. There, I said it. But you already knew that.
You want someone to defend you, but the honest truth is . . . its not healthy.
Can you drink it? Yes
Should you drink it? Not really
Can you be healthy and drink it? Yes, in moderation of course.
But you already knew that
>there are mixed feelings
>>36806110
Idk I do that all the time with milk if I'm running late in the morning

energy drinks arent bad per se, theyre just usually sugary drinks with caffeine and some vitamins associated with energy
i dont mind when people drink the low calorie ones because its basically like drinking a tropical/sweet coffee.
however they contain like 200mg so if you drink more than 1 or at night, itll fuck your shit up. youll be jittery, get bad sleep, get addicted, etc.
the sugar ones imo are "bad" because its an artificial high with a mean crash thats not worth over a simple coffee, and 200-300 calorie drinks are a waste of macros
>>36807408
>Monster is bad for you
Literally why?
>>36807408
please support your claim. AFAIK the only real issue with monster is the sugar and in the op those are sugarfree
>>36806110
i eat them with yougurht
There is no difference , just to make them more soft
>>36807691
too much sugar , there are healthier choices
but honestly that shit tastes soo good
>>36807628
Seriously the best energy drink. There isn't a weird sour after-taste like normal rockstars.
>>36806011
honestly it all depends OP
I drink one per day. Usually the absolute zero ultra sunrise (orange) or ultra citron (yellow).
In my they are just a tasty moderate dose of caffeine.
Pros:
>tasty as fuck
>satisfies cravings for something sweet on a cut (if you go with the absolute zero ones)
>dose of caffeine is that perfect amount of awake and alert without being wired (about 140mg on average)
Cons:
>usually look a little bloated after drinking one
>they contain aspertame and ace-k (if you are on the side of the conflicted studies its something to be aware of)
>pretty expensive per serving (I get 24 cases at Sam's so they come out to be a little under 2 dollars per can)
>caffeine withdrawals suck literal cock but that's with any caffeinated product
tl;dr moderation
This is me. If it gives an credence to my advice
>>36808081
>too much sugar
Ahh I see. What about for those of us that drink the sugar free shit?
>>36808102
Its probably the cane sugar. Corn syrup can have a sourness to it.
>>36806011
Just drink water you fucking faggots. I buy pure lemon concentrate. The shit you cook with. Put a splash in a tall glass of ice water with a pinch of salt. SODIUM IONS, 0 CALORIES, ELECTROLYTES FOR DAYS.
I don't trust this faggot shit. All these chemicals, preservatives, food coloring and shit. Plus half the money you spend on it is used for marketing.
>>36808372
Holy shit you sound like a liberal soccer mom. Oh God, chemicals! Reputable sources like Dr. Oz have told me to avoid those. Instead I try to drink gallons of bull semen each day to detox.
>>36808600
You're literally defending the chemicals marketed by big money instead of defending water. You know, water, that shit we evolved for millions of years to thrive on. The most important fundamental molecule in existence. The shit required for any life in the universe to exist at all.
>tool
>>36806011
If anyone in this thread thinks they can drink monster everyday and make it, just stop lifting now
ITT: One can of Monster is worse than drinking water but better than ten gallons of soda.
>>36806110
I blend them and mix in my shakes.
>>36808372
>0 CALORIES,
But lemon concentrate has calories, anon.
>>36808841
>>36808872
Hey dumbass you can drink both. Stop being an all or nothing extremist faggot and understand that drinking a monster will not make your eyes explode and your penis shrink.
>>36806011
Pure fucking sugar op.
That shit will kill you. Gotta cut out sugar.
The Monster in OP is 0 calorie and 0 sugar. But they have 2g carbs. Can I drink these during a fast?
Also a faggot ITT said drinking a monster a day = never gonna make it. Is he being a faggot?
>>36809726
>didn't even look at what he's saying will kill someone
these threads are always
>energy drinks are literal cancer but I DONT KNOW WHY BUT THEY JUST ARE
>>36809740
But anon, don't you know energy drinks interrupt my hippie crystal therapy and create general bad vibes? Please be kind to your heart and avoid THE EVIL CHEMICALS. Now let me take a sip from my sugary as hell Starbucks
>>36809778
Lol if you get a medium sized anything at Starbucks you're already more unhealthy than someone drinking an energy drink
I go on long 40 mile bike rides & use these to replace calories every 30-45 minutes. Someone on here said they are shit. Is there something better to take that is "portable" (fits in a saddle pack)
>>36809732
>0 calories
>2g carbs
pick one
also aspartame cause your blood sugar too lower. the effect is you crave sweets. so it may be healthy for you at the moment but it will make you rave sweets.
>>36806011
Zero calories is zero calories.
The citrid/phosphoric acid might fuck up your teeth though.
Caffeine could be a problem if you are sensitive to it.
>>36809726
They're sugar free mang.
>>36809826
Not knowing "0 cal drinks" are actually up to 5 calories. Artificial sweeteners do have fractions of a calorie worth of energy.
>>36809826
The carb content comes from sugar alcohols. Your body doesn't get energy from them.
>>36806011
I'm thinking about trying to completely quit artificial sugars. They're in fucking everything, protein powder, pre workout, diet drinks, protein bars etc etc.
I found that I felt depressed the day after drinking a bunch of diet soda, pretty sure because of the aspartame. Like I seriously feel depressed after drinking that shit.
Wait a second...
People actually like the taste of this shit?
Just drink water and milk you stupid Americans.

Straight nuts, I personally like unsalted cashews. However, I do think that Clif bars are god-tier for long distance biking.
I drink Cherry Amp before any race. I've performed an ABAB experiment with having Gatorade as the 'B' condition quite a bit of times. Yet, I always do better when I drink the Amp. Nothing will convince me not to drink one of these prior to race...ever.
>>36809887
that's the exact type of activity clif bars are meant for
>>36806110
What if I do this but without milk
I like raw oats, but not cooked or soaked oats.
>>36809887
Need carbs for energy bro, nuts are mostly fat.
Well?
>>36809948
good source of carbs. just dont eat more than 2 slices a day
Hmm?
Bout to go down one of those tasty bastards along with a cliff bar and then I'm getting lit. Goes great with alcohol brehs.
>>36810143
TOO MUCH CARBS, ARRRRGH
But seriously, eat those veggies with one naan. Not four.
And where's the animal protein?
What do y'all think of sausage, potato slices, peas, and eggs?
All fried up in a delicious pan?
With butter, of course.
Fucking amazing right?
Dairy products. I've heard good and bad things. I enjoy a glass of milk every now and then, especially in my shake.
>>36809947
Take fucking spaghetti then.
Or...
[spoiler]Take fucking Clif bars[/spoilersdontworkonfit]
>>36810266
those are carne asada tacos friendo
>>36810330
Still too much bread
>>36806110
>he doesn't know that oats are not edible unless cooked
>>36810349
>boiled oats with honey
Best breakfast
>>36810266
>eat those veggies with one naan
>naan
Britcuck pls. This is superior Mexican food.
>>36810349
How does it feel to be wrong all the time?
>>36810346
you can get low carb tortillas which are 3g of carb per tortilla.
>>36810379
The fuck is it made of?
Sugar?
Good bread is all carbs.
Because that's what bread is.
You try to avoid that ,you get weird shit.
Better just avoid bread all together.
Eat root vegetables and red meat.
That 's the shit.
>>36810266
I'm tracking my carbs, anon. I usually only have these on my cheat day. They're beef tacos duh. Better than eating mcdonalds imo.
>>36810393
its not bread wtf lmao
>>36810266
>naan
Damn. Those "refugees" sure didn't waste any time getting you Europoors housebroken, eh?
>>36810143
That's a god tier cheat meal, or even for bulking so long as the tortilla is steamed and whole grain/quinoa based
>>36810287
I eat dairy every day. Oatz with mixed with a cup of milk and then some greek yogurt at breakfast, a cup of cottage cheese is my last meal of the day, so that's three cups of dairy every day, and then when I'm bulking I GOMAD.
No gyno/man tits, but I also train hard and I eat clean.
>>36810393
they are corn tortillas
>>36806011
Creatine
>>36810534
I have yet to see anyone in the states use blue corn tortillas. Visited Mexico last year and tried them. Delicious to say the least. But yes, great food for bulking.
??? Good carbs? Plan on having a cup of this, along with protein as my post meal.
>>36809716
woulda had a bigger effect if you said
>a monster will not make your eyes shrink and your penis explode.
>>36806011
Cortisol from energy drinks and alcohol stops protein synthesis and gives you increased stress, which is detrimental for sleep. This only happens if you drink quite some of this stuff regularly.
There are tons of cited sources for this, but I am on my phone and cannot access web of science atm.
>>36809824
HUNGRY? GRAB A SNICKERS.
no but seriously, snicker bars are perfect when doing activities such as 40 mile bike rides (Cause thats just fucking normal). Only thing that sucks about them is the melted chocolate during hot days
>>36813118
Are you actually recommending snickers?
>>36808081
The ones in the op are sugar free.. Ultra sunshine not shown though... That one is the tits, I think I'm becoming addicted
>>36807538
The blue ones are good, the only not so good ones of those kind are the orange and yellow ones. White Red Blue and Black are all dope
>>36810253
are you me?
don't know about you guys, but monster rehab is pretty based if you ask me..
not that much sugar + super tasty
>>36806110
i've heard people say they just throw a scoop of oats in their shaker cup with some whey and milk and chug that shit post workout but how the fuck do they chew it all? I'd rather go the cocoa pebbles route like the piano man
>implying retards who believe you lose testosterone through ejaculation, post threads bashing weed based on century old debunked information daily, ask for routine advice from fake natties in current body threads, and convince themselves they have rare diseases like gynocomastia just to justify not losing weight very quickly can set you straight on anything
But then OP is just another worthless 19 year old /r9k/ crossposter too. The cycle continues
>>36806110
I only eat oats with milk. I've eaten that since I was a child, it's common breakfast in Denmark.
anyone who drinks coffee with any sugar is a massive fucking pleb
