I have just started going to a gym and would like to get in shape and start building some muscle. I am looking for good sources of protein. I can not drink the protein shakes, they make me sick. My system is real picky about taste as well. So I am looking for advice on good tasting types of protein bars. Can any of you who work out recommend any good tasting protein bars or a type of drink that is not a shake? Also what kinds of foods do you eat regularly? Do any of you have any good recipes for a good meal or dish that is good for you and or has a lot of protein? Any advice would be helpful. I can not afford a personal trainer so how many times a week is sufficient for Upper body strengthening of arms? Do any of the strength and fitness videos they advertise on tv really work like insanity or body beast?
