I like to use a quality protein powder year around, they really help pre comp with saving some time when planning diet.

For me, pre contest, I prefer to get my protein from food. Especially if I have much weight to cut.

I guess it depends on how far out your talking...

But near the end (last few weeks) we cut powder and went all "food".

Only contested twice though, so no expert.

A chicken breast is much more satisfying than a shake. Not only that, but you burn calories by digesting food.
