[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I post this more for other parents who might be reading. When my football/weight lifting young teen wanted protein powder, he didn't even know what it was. Just saw others using it. He would have scooped anything and put it in his milk. Scary. I knew about Instant Breakfast since it had been around forever. Figured it would be safer than some non regulated supplement protein powder.[/quote]

This. I would meet with a nutritionist. Protein powders are unregulated and not the first thing your teen should consider. More natural sources is best[/quote]

I have a 19 years old and a 17 years old, and they both gained about 30 lbs of lean muscle over this past spring & summer.  The 19 years old is 5'11 and currently at 178 lbs while the 17 years old is 5'10 and currently at 170lbs.  I took them to a special nutritionist and she came up with how much protein and calories they could consume for the day.  I then took them to a physician to make sure that it would be ok for them to consume that much calories/protein intake.  This is what they did to bulk up 30 lbs of lean muscles:

For breakfast:- 
5 serving of Steel cut oatmeal on Almond milk with blueberries, strawberries, banana and blackberries
- six eggs with zucchini, spinach and bell peppers,
- two whole oranges, one whole avocado with some honey

For mid morning snack:
- one whole avocado serving on whole grain bread with some honey
five serving of pistachio and cashews,

For lunch:
- A big bowl of Salad with cherry tomatoes, serving with 1.5 lbs of chicken breast and quinoa,
- a bowl of onion soup,- five serving of strawberries, mango, blueberries,

For mid afternoon lunch:
- One whole avocado on whole grain bread,
- a glass of almond milk,
- five serving of almonds and peanuts,

For dinner:
- 2 lbs of either steamed rockfish salmon, lobsters, crawfish, or tuna serving on brown rice,
- 1 lbs of steamed broccoli and cauliflower,- a bowl of tomato or Lentil soup,

They also workout at Equinox twice a day,  two hours in the morning in the gym and two hours in the afternoon, swimming.

Kids should not be taking protein powder.  These things are not regulated by the FDA and will have long term health issues, IMHO.

This is insane.  Do you have a life outside of preparing food for your man boys?[/quote]

Nope.  Sold a tech company for a bunch of money.  Pp's job is now feeding their kids.

Totally do-able, right?[/quote]
