Everyone recommends to consume xyz grams of Whey protein post workout (and throughout the day, per individual requirements). But what is the prevailing thought on consuming Whey protein 20-30 minutes before your workout?
Does it provide any benefit in muscle growth/energy levels/stamina, or is this protein used as energy? What are the effects, really?

What you need to have pre workout are carbs and NO prodcuts. Protein before workout would be used up as energy instead of building muscle so its not very useful, only a few take it pre workout.
As for NO products they are very nice from my personal opinion. Your focus and intensity sky rockets and your workouts are simply addictive, which is a good thing.
It is a pre workout supplement to increase energy and focus. Quote:
Having decided to hit the gym, I would like to know the vegeteranian food products which are high in protein. I do take egg, but apart from that no meat or supplements for me. So do i still stand a chance to have a good sculpted body?

See this is why protein shakes are so convenient. Being vegetarian, you can take them to add up the daily amount throughout your meals. Look for the green square on the boxes for veg Protein powers. 100% gold standard by ON is veg and a very good product. I use it myself.
However you can leave the whey for only post workout and take casien throughout the day.
I know you said no supplements, but if you want the sculpted body, it is very hard to rack up the grams of protein through solid meals. You need those protein shakes.
As for veg foods with protein - dairy(egg, milk cheese), most beans, peanuts, almonds, cashew, flax seed, those are all I can think off the top of my head.
Not much of a choice for veg so do buy protein shakes. They are veg too.
Shajufx - Stick to the directions on the pack and be careful! My buddy at the gym took too much of it last week and had trouble sleeping and had his legs shaking.
You know..all that caffeine in the pre workout supplements, be careful
Shaju..where are you shopping??? Throw that ayurvedic junk out right now!
I personally have been hearing a lot about our general stores selling fake brands etc so I have lost my trust in them. I only shop from neulife supplements stores as they are importers and I've been buying from them for a long time.
As for prices, umm lets see
I bought creatine mono, from ON - 700rupess, 60 servings- lasts more than 60 though haha
100 gold standard protein from ON, 5 pound pack - 3460 rupees about 80 scoops
Syntha6 2.9 pound tub - 2707 rupees- everything is overpriced from BSN, although no xplode and cell mass are worth it imo
pro gainer complex from ON - 2800 I think - Was worth it, 28 servings of that big scoop with 60g protein and ~550 calories per
Neulife stores keep Bsn, Labrada, ON, VPX
If you live in mumbai theres one in bandra opposite golds and one in lokhandwala
Ive been hearing so much about fake products, after all this is still India so I only trust neulife stores.
Everyone - buy the 2 pound tubs when trying and only buy 5 and 10 pound packs, you will save a lot of money since everything is so overpriced here.
