For those who are interested the main difference between more expensive brands and cheaper ones is digestibility.
i have found maximuscle to be over priced for what it is

Make your own as follows

two scoops of strawberry/vanilla protein powder
one scoop of porridge
one big spoonful of peanut butter
blended with milk

That will pack a powerful protein punch.

Supplement with a bit of honey or for those who have diabetes
try Agave syrup or Stevia (I don't like Stevia - its a tad bitter)

I've been looking at Wayfarer boil in the bag as an emergency food but their so expensive, £3.99 +£1.99p&P on Ebay or £5 in my local camping shop, not bad if your buying 1 or 2 but if I wanted to put away a months supply( I've got enough stored for 7 days) it could get expensive!(4 weeks would be £5X7X4:£140! PER PERSON)

I've never done the workout supplement thing(sadly putting on weight has never been a problem for me...likes me grub!) are you using these suplements for survival food/stores purposes or are you guy's/gals bodybuilders? i'm a complete dunce in this subject..i know diddly.

I'm not exactly a size 8 darling, so I use them for survival. If I need a protein/calorie fix in a hurry
then my mix would do it

i was a bodybuilder for 20yrs plus but i hardly ever used powders far to much money and i didnt trust what was in them .
one guy who run his own gym used to buy tesco value powder milk mix in some value choc powder and make after training drinks and sell it as hi end powder he still rips off his members .

you cant beat good wholesome food for bodybuilding for survival think about tesco value milk powder mix with water into a thick paste eazy to eat packed with goodness its what the powders are made of whay from milk remember

After home situations change, I've not been bodybuilding for 2 years. But will be back in the gym again, pumping it up ASAP. At the moment I'm just doing a lot of running and a little bit of weights at home. On the Dartmoor trip I went back and forth 4 times to the car, up over the Tor and back, in one day....camping with dogs is loads of hassle!!! Personal abilities are much higher, but I'd much rather be massive (vanity can be a killer haha).

As for supplements, I'm loading up for every situation. Loads of stuff post SHTF, but also for everyday use.
