Fancy a drink with 100g protein in it?
You might think it’s a bit mental to consume that much protein, and it kinda is, but there are times when this would come in handy:
- Intermittent Fasters might take this as a last meal before a long fast
- If you are going to be going away from home for most of the day and won’t have access to food
- If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, you could take it with you and sip on it all day
- You could take half of it post-workout, and the rest 3 hours later to hit your “anabolic 3-hour window”
- Or you actually are legitimately mental.
If you were tempted to make the point about “the body can only absorb 25g protein at 1 time” please read this post.
My estimate here based on the amount of protein and the glycemic index of the shake, this will deliver protein into your bloodstream for about 14 hours.
Watch the video of me preparing a protein bomb. The full ingredients and nutritional values are below:
- 2 scoops or about 50g Whey Protein (vanilla, toffee, cookies n cream, chocolate or even unflavored work well)
40g protein | 2g carbs | 2g fat | 186 Calories
- 2 x Eggs
12g protein | 0.5g carbs | 10g fat | 140 Calories
- 1 x cup or 250ml or 8 fl oz 0% Natural Greek Yogurt (I’m using Tesco Finest 0%)
20g protein | 10g carbs | 1g fat | 129 Calories
- 3 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter
12g protein | 9g carbs | 24g fat | 300 Calories
- 1 x Banana
2g protein | 28g carbs | 0g fat | 120 Calories
- 2 x cups or 480ml or 16 fl oz Whole/Full-Fat Milk
16g protein | 20g carbs | 16g fat | 288 Calories
TOTALS
CALORIES: 1163
PROTEIN: 102g
CARBS: 69.5g

For great quality whey proteins go for Optimum Nutrition Whey in the US and Impact Whey from MyProtein in the UK & Europe.
NOTE: You could use another banana to thicken it up, if you prefer a thicker shake. Also consider a sugar and calorie-free syrup like Da Vinci or Zero Syrups from The Protein Works to add more sweetness with no extra carbs.
Questions? Comments? If I can help you, I will. Just talk to me below.
Now there’s no point in all that protein if you didn’t hack up those muscle fibers and stimulate growth. Get the science-based, growth-promoting THT workout here for free..THT workout here…

lol nice one. I’m up for trying this! Cheers Mark.
did not that will give you diarrhoea…..? Also is it safe to eat eggs just like that, i mean they are not pasteurized??
Good job thanks!
I looked at the creatine thang u posted i was wondering if ur saying to stop for two weeks and start back eight more then of two agian ..what do u mean how long on how long off..ive read alot abput on three months off one month…is the one ur talking about safe ..just esplane how long on how long off plz i got ur book and everything thanks.
Raw cows milk bro….then some maca powder…..I make this all the time…I think you posted something like this years ago…its where I got the idea….good stuff tho
I thought I was mental for having a shake that equals a little more than half that. Here’s ome serious nutrition nerditry:
(more or less, depending on how hungry I am)
1 scoop protein powder
1-2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons moringa leaves
1/2 small avocado (makes it very creamy)
1/2 frozen banana
2 teaspoons chia seeds
30-40 grams frozen coconut
1/4 cup greek yoghurt
1/4 cup kefir
1/4 cup raw goat milk
1/4 cup crushed ice
4-5 grams raw ginger
1 teaspoon honey
sprinkle of cinnamon or some other flavor as per taste)
May sound crazy, but tastes great–ginger+cinnamon gives it a little bite, and for us older guys, keeps the joint soreness down. Google moringa… one of the best plant sources of protein.
@garry–
I eat a raw egg or two every day, been doing it for 3 years. But… they come from my own free range chickens. I’m not sure I would trust just any old egg from the grocery store. Choose a good (preferably local free-range) source, make sure they are fresh, break them into a separate cup to check the smell before adding to your mix.
You actually get the best nutrition from egg yolk when raw, although the whites are slightly better for you cooked.
@Jesse. Yes it is totally safe. Here is how to cycle it. Remember, you train for 10 weeks on THT, then take a week off.
Week 1-8 – take creatine.
Week 9 & 10 – come off creatine
Week 11 (your week off training). Start back on creatine with a loading phase.
So you’re on creatine during your week off and for the following 8 weeks (9 weeks on altogether). And off for 2 weeks (week 9 and 10).
@Mike. Yeah I’m all for raw milk.
@rycamor. Thanks for your input. The shake looks awesome. I have also been eating raw eggs on and off for near 10 years lol. No problems at all.
Hi Mark, Just wondering about the amount of carbs, would this bomb be suitable on the Mans or Glad? Seems like a large intake of Carbs in one go for either of these. You mentioned staying lean year round so do you mainly use the MANS diet yourself?
Cheers
Chris
@Chris. This wouldn’t be suitable for the MANS diet. It would work with the GLAD diet, but only on the occasions I cite at the beginning of the article.
I am on GLAD personally. I have been for a couple of years. Before that, I was on MANS for over 3 years.
Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Mark,
Now we’re on the path of GLAD i have a little question:
My diet is very strict and i’ve read in an other article on the site that the macro’s for GLAD are:
40% protein, 30% Carbs and 30% Fat
But in the GLAD article you wrote the macro’s are:
30% protein, 40% Carbs and 30% Fat
Wich of them are right?
Thereby most of the articles on the internet recommend a fat intake of 20% at the most just to keep the fat levels at bay, GLAD on the other side recommends 30 – 35% of fat intake. Does this amount of fat not lead to faster fat gains than consuming 20% or less or are carbs (high GI/GL) mostly a problem of fat gain? I’m asking this because i’m confused wich macro’s are optimal for building muscle and keep fat gains at bay and what is more important, the intake of carbs or fat (protein is always the same):
P – C – F
30-50-20 (most sites/old bodybuilding style)
35-35-30 (Jim Stoppani)
30-40-30 / 30-35-35 (GLAD)
Thanks in advance !
@Noel. Fat gain is a case of excess total calories and/or excess storage of your current calories caused by chronically elevated insulin levels caused by excess sugar intake, not dietary fat intake. Read this article on carbs and weight here https://musclehack.com/carbs-weight-loss/
