	Protein: When I really concentrated on getting 30-40 grams every 3 hours or so (shooting for about 200g a day) my lifts went up, my energy went up, I gained muscle and lost fat. I too use Nitrean from At Large Nutrition and love it. When we were stationed in Omaha, my folks would give us some grass fed beef (black angus) for our anniversary gift every year...I absolutley love it! If you can scrap together the coin and have a large freezer, buy a cow, have it slaughtered and butchered. You can also try and find somebody else in your area to go in halfsies on it. Don't forget about big game venison, black bear, etc....mmmmm, good. And cheap too!
