Around Malton there are those desi tiffin suppliers ..may be it is worth looking for something like that in your area not only the food is reasonably priced it is fresh and comes from known people..just food for thought hope it helps
I wonder whether the Embassy @ Scarborough prepares that kind of stuff .... They do have a great queue lined up there for other products . Though it may not be in the same region as TK has requested .

Guys!
Thanks for the response.
I searched our classifieds and found out 2 very cheap options.
1. Don Mills -Sheperd -> 25 Roti's for $ 6 ( $7 if to be delivered to your door step)
2. Near Sq.-1 -> 50 Roti's for $15 ( Also has parota's for $1 a piece). Can be made custom.Has to be picked up. No Delivery. Last order at 9:30 pm and which can be picked at 11:00 pm.
I will use one of the 2 above.
Anyone needing the above service, can look at our classifieds under catering/Tiffin services.
Why i has asked the above was b'cos i spend 1 1/2 hrs each day just to make 10 roti's. I feel that i can purchase it outside for a price cheaper than what my time is worth for an hour.

Hi TK
Though you didnt ask, I thought i'd offer some unsolicited comments
If you practice making roti's long enough, it shouldnt take so long to make 10 rotis. Do you use a large rolling pin (the north american kind) or the small one?
I am saying this based on the assumption that I have that Indian (ie from India) guys are generally not taught to cook? Am i right? wrong?

Isnt it wiser to reach most of the protein requirements via diet instead of supplements? E.g: theres Chicken, fish or for veg...lentils, brown bread/rice etc?
I use protien supplements quite regularly(and feel it works great...especially for the immune system) but most info I've received mention that its a 'supplement'. I'm just wondring if you have some other info I may have not come across.
Jake,
I agree with you that it’s wiser to meet most of our daily protein requirements via diet but I think that for vegetarians it might be a problem. Also it’s more convenient to use whey protein than getting it from fish or meat. I am a vegetarian and so I have to rely on whey protein to meet my daily requirements. My girl friend is Persian and a non-vegetarian. On the weekends she spends around 15 minutes removing the skin/ fat off the lamb meat and hours to cook the meat slowly. Also the smell of the cooked fish or meat is not very pleasant. I use around 150 gm of whey protein daily and I agree with you about its benefits for the immune system. I have worked for product development in pharmaceutical/ biotech industries and I am not a big fan of pharmaceutical drugs, I know what goes in there. But I do take vitamins/ mineral supplements.
Is whey protein better than protein from dietary sources? Since you are so much into fitness I feel that you are the best person on this forum to answer that question
Any way here are some links BV or Biological Value is a measure of the efficient utilisation of the proteins in the body. Whey Protein has a high BV compared to other selected protein sources. http://www.reflex-nutrition.com/glossary/
Whey protein has the highest BV value, rating at 104. Egg protein is only second to whey rating as a 100 with milk proteins being a close third rating as 91. Beef rates as an 80 with soy proteins a distant 74. Bean proteins, due to the fact that are plant-based proteins, only rate a 49 http://bodybuilding.about.com/od/supplementationbasics/a/supplements_2.htm

You know I've asked myself this question? As I understand it, the food supplement industry is so unregulated that I really am not sure of the benefits and/or the claims. I do notice than my immune system is stronger when I do use protein supplements. Thats one reason why I do it.
From what I know not all protein supplements are the same. If its to add to an exercise routine and promote weight loss...I'd go for a whey protein isolate rather than a protein blend. Isolates have a higher BV than blends. It also has less fat and lactose.

And if you are looking to compare the different products
http://www.supplementscanada.com/ratings.htm
btw: I find it cheaper to buy from the latter link. They are reliable too.
p.s: I steer clear of the walmart/costco protien blends....too much fat in those.

Thanks for the links Jake. The food supplement industry is interesting and to be honest its one industry that I would like to set up business. The manufacturing processes are not too difficult and there is a growing market for it and getting Health Canada’s approval is not too difficult.
I use whey protein isolate and I buy it from GNC. I also have 5g of creatine monohydrate, 2 multivitamin tablets, 50mg of zinc gluconate and vitamin B compound tablets daily. Its interesting how these trace elements like zinc, copper, chromium, boron,magnesium are important both for humans as well as plants
