I sure am glad I'm paying all this money to buy supplements to get things that I can easily get from food sources.
Supplements are more convenient than foods sometimes and require less effort majority of time other than going to buy them.

Where else can I get that from
one day when your parents decide to kick you out of the house and you have to get a job, you'll realize that convenience is something that is valued by many people who have to work to support themselves.
What's a cheap food source for 5 grams of creatine a day.

Any kind of wild fish from your local ethnic market.

>giving money to them
No thanks
Yeah, I do love the convience of being able to eat what I like, yet also be able to take a multivitamin or put some whey and crwatine into a drink to make up what my diet misses.

So. A $7 bottle of 240 pills vs traveling to get some fucking fish every week? Yeah no thanks fuck off retard.

You would literally have to eat 500g of Herring to achieve your 5g of creatine at best. For most other fish you'd need to eat a whole kilogram to get 5g. And let's look at cost. 500g creatine monohydrate costs about 20 bucks so that's 20 cent a day for your creatine fix. Compare that to fish that probably costs at least 30bucks per kilogram and you pay 150 times the amount you'd pay for supplements. Pretty much the same story for protein sources, just not as extreme. It's also a whole lot more convenient, you literally just need a shaker and water.

This so much. Also, you actually save money. Look at the cost/g of protein. Sure a big tub of whey costs around 60-80bucks but you get 1600-1900g of protein for that money. The best natural source for protein without any fat is chicken breast or egg whites, which are both more expensive per g of protein.

Guess some people are satisfied with 'good enough' and will never know the difference.
>tfw using 5lb of ON whey every 6 weeks
>$90/6 weeks = $3/day

check myprotein b r e h. they have offers all the tiem.
Gomad with 4 scoops brotein is god tier. The only food I eat anymore it broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and a few other vegetables I rotate in and out as I feel like it in a stir fry. I'm not autistic enough to count my nutrition shit. Just give me pills and powders. I'll settle for getting it from food when I'm old and weak and lifting only twice a week
