I agree with Repo. If your diet has enough protein intake required for your growth, then supplements are unnecessary. But mine has not (not serious lack, but slightly below what I require), so I consider using whey.

I think it's common to overthink diet a lot, I'm lazy as fuck when it comes to food, but I'm currently 10% body fat and almost 200 pounds at 6'1". I adjusted my diet a long time ago with inspiration from what the trainer working with the actor I spoke of:

It's super simple, here's all that I buy each week:

1. (3) Rostierre chickens from Costco - $4.99 each
3lbs each, about 1,500 calories and 275g of protein in the whole chicken. I eat half a chicken a day.

2. I buy 5 dozen eggs from Costco for $6
I eat 6 eggs a day fried in Coconut Oil, so the 5 dozen lasts for 10 days. No it's not unhealthy, the old health myths about eggs have been debunked.

3. I buy (2) 5lb bags of mixed frozen vegetables from Costco, I eat about a pound and half of mixed veggies a day.

4. On days I workout (3 - 4 days a week), I eat a pound of steak. I can get steaks at Costco for as little as $5/lb.
Red meat health risks are also overstated. The majority of cases that correlate red meat to colon cancer are in people that are obese and already a minimum of 25% more likely to develop colon cancer just from being a land whale.

5. I throw in some fresh veggies and fruit too, I just buy whatever looks good that week.

All in all, I average maybe $70/week on food and it takes me only 10-15mins to prepare each meal. I don't get bored eating the same things over and over, it's just fuel, and it all tastes great.

My calorie breakdown ends up looking about like this:

Workout days: Eggs, chicken, steak, tons of veggies: 3,000 calories
Non-workout days: Eggs, chicken, tons of veggies: 1,800 calories

It's the easiest diet I've ever had in my life, I'm on autopilot with this thing, I'm never ever hungry. It's impossible to screw up.

Doesn't stomach acid denature protein?
