Do I need a multi ?

[adamrichmond]

Hey guys, I'm questioning whether I need a multi or not. My diet is a regular BBing diet (lots of chicken, beef, oats, ON 100% whey, biotest surge pw). I'm working at a Vitamin Shoppe this summer and I picked up a Beast Pak that cost like $20 for a month. Was this necessary?

The big drawback is that $20 a month could go to 'harder' stuff from legalgear or BDC or almost buy another 5 pounder of ON protein. Should I pick up an ultra-cheap multi instead like one that costs $17 for like 150 days?

If your diet is good, you don't need a multi, but it won't hurt you either.

That's less than a buck a day so...

needing a multi boils down to many factors. plus not all vitamins can be absorbed well through a multi

the real question is "am i covering all bases?"

your diet does not do that. where are your fruits and veggies?

also a typical 'bodybuilder diet' as you describe is awful for the gut. all that dry dead overcooked meat you are throwing at your stomach is only going to make it harder to absorb minerals and vitamins. so yes not only would i take a multi (see n2bm) but i would also do a better job with what you eat and how much you eat etc.

I'm not a fan of supplements. I prefer spending money on the real stuff so I'm not the best person to ask.
