Since I know a bunch of you guys hit the gym. judge the protein on three catagories: taste nutrition price I will start optimum gold standard vanilla have been using it since before the price hike. musclemilk stawberry...what my girl uses.. tastes good..but too expensive. not as much protein per serving as the opti.
when it comes to the best quality product i would say anything by Optimum Nutrition, but the taste goes to Muscle Milk. Besides the fact that Muscle Milk has less protein, Muscle Milk also has alot of fat (which is not bad or good depending on your workout regimine.) In my opinion any whey/casein/egg etc... protein works fine as long as it is used right and supplemented with your diet, not as a substitute. Personally I really like Muscle Milk cookies and cream, and ON Egg protein chocolate flavor.
I go Soy... drop a large scoop into a mix of Ensure (yes, I'm that old) and fruit and conquer the world. Or at least motivation to trim the hedges. -jim
I've been out of the game for awhile, but AllTheWhey is some of the best tasting stuff I've ever had. Mint chocolate :drool:
Muscle Milk Lite - get it by the case at Sams. Great for a quick snack an hour and a half or so before hitting the gym.
I'm a cyclist and I use Hammer Whey during strength cycles and Hammer Recoverite during endurance cycles. I pretty much don't look outside the Hammer inventory anymore.
after working out for the good 10-12 years...I got to know my body...it hates fat lol...I wont gain any bodyfat eating any carbs...I eat fat and I bloat up....very weird....I drink optimum casein protein before i go to bed.
Beverly International UMP or Muscle Provider. Any all natural competitors you talk to will swear by it.
I got back into working out 3 months ago after taking 3 years off. MuscleTech Meso-Tech Meal Replacements choc MusleTech Nitro-Tech Hardcore Protein van and straw They're all gross. I hate taking the stuff, but I went from 155 to 180 in 2 months and bf% stayed under 10, so I guess it works. I may try something different if you guys have any good suggestions, but I would also like to lose some weight now.
I really like the 'gold' stuff from GNC, and Muscle Milk is awesome if you can afford it (and aren't looking to lose weight) honestly, i usually buy whatever i can get the best deal on... the 10 lbs bags aren't cheap to ship, but GNC is a big enough rip off that I rationalize the shipping. taking the protein 3x each day, and getting the lifting in is what really matters anyway... cheap protein + NO Xplode + working out 6-7 hours a week had me in the best shape of my life. Now i'm probably only working out 3-4 hours a week and i carry about 15 lbs less muscle. doesn't hurt the power-to-weight ratio though I wish i had the time to work out like i used to. Makes me wonder why i wasn't a 215 lbs beast in college...
A bit of thread jacking here... There are so many products out there it's confusing. I'm looking for a protein powder that is low fat, low carb, and low cholesterol. The stuff at Walmart has a ton of cholesterol in it. Any advice?????
