I have a new job. All is great except that I only get one 30 minute break in 8.5 hours. Not only am I starving to death, I think it is going to seriously hamper my gains.
I need advice on some liquid meals which I can drink at my desk. I am thinking of an MRP or a weight gainer or a mean whey shake. I have never ordered anything online before. What would you recommend to get and where to order it from online. I am in Canada.
Thanks.
I order from SND. It'll arrive out here in Vancouver in 2-5 business days, so that's pretty quick.
I'm not really a fan of weight gainers, just make your own using whey, and whatever else you want to throw in it, ie. oats, peanut butter, olive oil, etc. Also, I'm sure you could eat a bag of nuts at your desk. That's an easy way to increase cals.

PB, olive oil, flaxseed oil, fish oil, nuts
Protein shakes, weightgainers, pb, protein bars, oatmeal.
I'm not sure of British Columbia's labour laws, but I'm almost certain that isn't legal. You're legally entitled to the equivalent of one hour time off or a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks for every 8 hous of work as far as I know.
Might be law but some jobs don't do it. I've worked 3 years now with out getting an official break or lunch.
What kind of job is it?
I know such jobs exist, a lot of serving or bus boy jobs are like that, but I just found it was weird he works at a "desk job" and doesn't get all his breaks.

I know it isn't legal in this province. But very few employers actually follow all labour laws in my experience, especially when the company is small and run by foreigners as is the case here, Taiwanese. They don't know the law and from the experience of their home country that many breaks probably sounds absurd to them anyways. Whatever, it pays decently, and I do very little actual work lol.
But ya, the point of the thread. Thanks for all the advice. Probably going to try and make some monster whey shakes as I don't like weight gainer much (sugar especially) and dont know much about MRP's. And thanks for the link Vido, although I wonder if there is a cheaper place to order online? Seems like I could buy a 5lb tub of whey for about the same price at the mall as SND :/

I don't know what type you are looking at specifically, but I've never seen comparable prices at a local supplement shop.
