Bro down by drinking protein in the office?

Is it kosher to drink protein shakes as midmorning or midafternoon snacks in the office? Half the guys on the floor came from S&T backgrounds and the other half from banking. I just want a well balanced diet without getting heckled at by some rando VP.

If the VP says anything just be like "fuck you" and kick him in the face with your energy legs

He'll be too energetic for normal trading

I keep fucking loling hard at "energy legs." Can this be a thing?

So while everyone else sips coffee out of company mugs, I'll sip a shake from my shaker cup? The office is in a trading floor set up so at least 2 rows of people can see me.

Ask HR for a company logo protein shaker. Duh? I thought traders were smart.

It takes like 20-30 seconds to fill a shaker, shake it, and chug it down. Much more efficient than spending 5 minutes on eating a couple of chicken fillets...use the bathroom if you're concerned what others will think (Though I don't think anyone will give two shits about this)

 

Drinking it in the bathroom will make everyone give two shits about it... what is unusual a guy drinking a protein shake at his desk, or a guy drinking a protein shake in the bathroom?

I don't know about you bros, but whenever I'm in doubt about whether a food or drink is socially acceptable, I go straight to a public bathroom to consume it.

FTFY

 

I doubt anybody would care. I've seen people in all sorts of roles openly drinking shakes at my bank (VP/ED level included). I do feel that it should be said that a protein shake is a supplement, not a meal replacement so while it's fine to drink them, you should also get some real, nutritious food in you.

In reply to the question about abs, creatine and protein will help you gain muscle mass in your abs, which will make your abs thicker. This will help you when you start cutting, as the degree of body fat loss necessary to get them to show will decrease.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the clarification on the abz brah. I am thinking about waiting until May to go into a sirius shred. Right now I'm taking 3 scoops of NOXplode and velvet antler to make sure I am huuuge before I start to melt of all those lbz.
