How to build our own (cheap) muscle powder. Thoughts?

[Endy]

This is just a thought stream, and I'd love to hear what you have to say.

 

So we know:

 

1. Complex starchy carbohydrates are very good for delivering protein to muscle. You can rapidly increase mass gains just by increasing the total grams of starchy carbs per day.

 

2. Commercial mass gain solutions that are priced to take your grandmother's home comprise mostly of a mix of a protein solution and a carbohydrate solution.

 

3. Commercial mass gain solutions unfortunately also contain a lot of sugar and simple carbohydrates.

 

4. A great polysaccharide to use as our carb of choice is starch, or essentially Amylose/Amylopectin.

 

So I followed this principle:

 

1. Find a protein supplier (soy, hemp, etc.), bulk order

 

2. Find a starch/Amylose/Amylopectin (potato starch, corn starch?) supplier, bulk order

 

3. Mix and eat per regular dietary regimen (I'm thinking I would probably want to integrate it with a meal, getting 200-300 calories of the mix + whatever additional calories/nutrition from regular meal 6 times a day)

 

Thoughts? I'd love other ideas!

hemp + corn starch = gag

But hey, go for it!

 

Why not just do a custom mix at trueprotein.com?

trueprotein.com has a way of doing this.

 

they have meal replacement ingredients, and their gemma hemp and rice are all vegan.

Just eat a lot of hashbrowns and protein shakes.
