What whey protein you guys use? Pros; cons? Is it good value? Why do you like it? Considering getting this. Thoughts? Opinions? P.S. not shilling.
COOL ANOTHER ON SHILL THREAD HAVE FUN
>>37162311
Didn't even realize it's ON brand. The macros looked fine and not too terrible of a price. Sorry, didn't mean to shill.
>>37162251
Dude, it's protein. Just pick the cheapest one and get it. I buy Walmart brand and it's like $25 for a giant container.
It's not like you're buying an expensive car.
Hybrid, cheap and god tier taste
pros:
>it's cheep
>tastes good (chocolate anyway)
>mixes well
cons:
>relatively low protein, only 70% so only 21 grams per scoop
None. Not because some "actual food" meme but because it's expensive enough in my country to justify it.
I used OP pic because of the price and macros and quality
Now I use Muscle Milk 100% Whey for the same reason, 6lb for $45 at costco ftw
How much protein powder do you guys manage to use in about a month? I'm looking to buy some, and I'd like at least a month's worth.
>>37162251
>What whey protein you guys use?
MP atm.
>Pros; cons?
+price per g protein
+taste
-ziplock bags instead of tubs
-hard to import to Greece because capital controls
>Is it good value?
Yes.
>Why do you like it?
Pros outweigh cons. See above.
>Considering getting this. Thoughts? Opinions?
Overpriced. Don't buy.
Protein is protein, amino acids are amino acids and whey is whey, so it will be the same amino acid profile (ratio of amino acids to total protein content) between each whey brand.
This means that is is perfectly ok to choose between brands judging by price (per protein weight) and taste, as long as the health regulations are met. Don't fall for fancy advertising. Do some market research.
>P.S. not shilling.
Sure you aren't
>>37162251
protein is protein. get it as cheaply as you can for as high protein content to other macro ratio as you can. Myprotein masterrace
Im using vanilla flavor and its pretty good i mix it with skim milk, been thinking of getting On Whey Isolate for extra protein
>>37162251
ON is expensive here but tastes really good (chocolate peanut butter here, heard extreme milk chocolate was the best tho) and it has a good reputation.
>>37162251
>nth ON shill thread
>every time what actually happens is that the cheaper brands get a lot more exposure:
>better price per gram of protein
>better reviews from independent labs
If you are a beginner and paying more that 16€/kg you are doing something very very wrong anons
>>37163113
Rocky Road is in fact the best, end of discussion.
Is pic related decent? Picked it up on a whim at Walmart today and haven't used it yet
>>37162251
I used to buy ON. flavors are really good but the price just isn't worth it. Why pay $50+ for 5lbs when i can get 11 lbs of the SAME SHIT for like $60 from myprotein?
pic related, 45 bucks for 5lbs at Costco and so yummy
Kaizen.
Don't get on. It is overpriced as fuck.
>>37163113
Ehh extreme milk chocolate taste like a more sweeter verision of double rich chocolate.
This
2kg for $35 at chemist warehouse
Because irs cheap
>>37164322
Gainers are worse than cancer
Nice dubs tho
So I take it all the companies are aware about /fit/ and come to shill regularly?
>>37164284
this, myprotein, bulkpowders etc is just the best option.
non of that annoying bodybuilding marketing too, you get what you pay for
Nutrabio.
Cons:
>purest isolate there is
>mixes very well
>flavor is not overwhelming
>works like a charm
Pros:
>expensive
>really expensive
>really fucking expensive
put on 10 clean pounds this year, not the fastest progress but it's coming along. just hit 171x5 kg squat
>>37164336
I don't see the problem with it, can you explain? If it's the high carbohydrate content i'm 20 with a fucked metabolism and need to balance it out.
>>37164449
Gainers are actully full of sugar and low quality carbs plus they put a lot of non essential bullshit in them that they don't tell you about.
Doing your own weight gainer at home is better ,just buy protein powder and instant oats powder they sell it on myprotein.com it's very cheap also , you could add some peanut butter too.
And it's better than the shit they sell you.
BSN Syntha-6
Serious Mass. 12 pounds, $45.
>>37164605
It's like the same price but i have to pay for shipping with the impact stuff, i'll look into it though thanks.
Allergic to peanuts and basically everything
>>37164668
At least you are sure of the ingredients you are using in making it , no added bullshit , no sugar.
Only quality carbs .
I use ON myself (2. scoops/day) and have tried a bunch of flavors that I always mix with milk. My top 3 are banana strawberry, key lime pie, and banana (which is awesome mixedbwith chocolate malt or coffee).
>>37164799
>2. scoops/day
CMON
>>37164830
Is this a meme or should I really up it to 4 scoops nowregardless of my current weight and height?
>>37164854
Are you retarded? Just get 1,5g of protein/kg bw mass daily and you're fine.
>>37162251
2 scoops of this every day for the last 15 months. Not even memeing.
>>37164869
That sounds literally retarded. It would make a lit more sense mathematically/biologically to go with scoops/(weight:height) or maybe scoops/(goal-weight:height).
>>37164891
Really? You're not memeing even a little bit?
Starwberry ON is so good.
>>37162251
It's pretty much the gold standard for protein powder.
>thoughts
It has a gold scoop OP probably because it's the gold standard
This was half-off at my local grocery store. Otherwise I would just get the Now Foods stuff.
Always unflavored.
>>37162251

Is this any good?

>>37162251
I'm currently working my way through some no-brand protein powder I found online. At 16 euros for 2,5 kg I couldn't pass it up, but sadly it was a one-time only deal.
I'll probably switch to MyProtein or Bulkpowders once I empty this tub.
>>37162251
>whey protein
>>37162360
>macros looked fine
its 80% protein and 20% filler
>>37162251
I use gold standard. I'm currently using double rich chocolate. It's the best flavor I've tried yet.
>>37162251
six star. i'm poor as fuck
>>37164321
This. Will never stray from double rich chocolate again
>>37167985
>true natty
I used many brands are different flavours during the last years. The best tasting one was Weider whey with coconut flavour. It's expensive as hell so I don't buy it.
Gold standard is pretty good. ESN is also OK.
Optimal nutrition is usually very sweet.
>Tropical Punch
>tfw I bought strawberry banana 5lbs and it tastes like pepto bismol
>>37164304
I have like a half container of this above my fridge but I got a stomach virus immediatley after drinking my morning 4 scoops and the puking had such a foul taste I cant handle the taste anymore
>>37162251
I have used ON brand Gold Standard Whey powder, and I don't think I'll ever go back to my old generic protein.
ON brand Gold Standard Whey powder has a quick uptake, a perfect release, and offers with tons of energy. The macros are second to none, and the price point couldn't be lower.
For sure ON brand Gold Standard Whey is the only protein I need to get through the day.
>>37164245
Tastes like shit, mixes TERRIBLY. Also I'm pretty sure it's bad in general. Switched it for something better and was told to donate to a homeless bodybuilder
>>37168924
That sounds scary. I'm always worried about trying new kinda sketchy flavors with shot like this, especially the 5lb tubs. I always just stick to chocolate desu
OP, my favorite is extreme milk chocolate. Usually get rich, but wanted to try it and it's much better
>>37162251
Powdered milk.
ON Oats & Whey. No artificial sweeteners, tastes good and has a decent amount of fiber.
I have Jarrow's Unfiltered Whey
Pro:
>Cheap around 18 burgers on amazon for 2 lb
>94 kcal per scoop
>18 protons per scoop
>2 carbs per scoop
Con:
>taste like shit
>makes my breath smell awful
still it's not about taste for me and its worth it imo. Better than your wal mart tier protien powders.
>>37164245
Its not that bad at all. Tho i would only stick to the vanilla.
It ranks B+ on some reliable protein shake website
Best cheap protein I found that doesn't taste like shit, mixes well, and $40 at Costco for 6 lbs
I know this isn't whey, but i just bought soy protein since i realized i was getting acne and bloating from whey and casein. I still have a few KGs of the old whey, should i mix 50/50 soy and whey or should i just stick to soy?
Have an irrational fear of getting gyno, plus soy protein tastes like a poopsandwich.
whey/casein split
tastes like icecream, no ONGS chemical aftertaste
https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein
I tried myprotein but it gave me horrendous gas. Protein World is good but expensive. ON is an okay compromise.
>>37162251
This is my first protein powder and I decided on ON after research. Currently only take 30mg a day (1 scoop) I get my protein throughout theday
>>37165446
> whey without the "MUH MANLY GYM CULTURE" shit on the packaging
I like it
>>37172886
Hell yeah, I've been using the vanilla one for a month or so now. I feel like chocolate is better for if you drink it straight and vanilla is better for smoothies, which is how I usually consume it.
>>37173622
u are literally projecting all of this shit
Myprotein master race
>>37162251
why is everybody shitting on artificially sweetened ('diet') sodas yet you all buy flavoured protein powder?
Is there a significant difference in the sweeteners used that I'm not aware of or do you just not give a fuck?
Always had natural flavoured whey and it's getting kinda boring, but I don't want to put potentially unhealthy chemicals in my body just because it tastes good.
>>37173622
which whey actually has this?
>>37174425
maybe those are different people. I buy flavored protein powder and don't give a fuck about artificial sweeteners. if you're worried about a specific sweetener being unhealthy then do your research on it.
>>37162950
Hard to say because the way I use protein is I'll only drink a shake if I don't have a proper meal after a workout or couldn't get X amount of grams for the day.
I try to avoid it, so it lasts.
This is what I'm using right now. Not bad 60 buck for 5 pounds. Those marshmallows.

white and blue bags and white bags with a green logo?
how the fuck you do down whey powder? i've tried it in straight up milk, making shakes, all sorts of shit - i've got the cinnamon bun flavor and it's absolutely fuckin horrid
>>37174789
hurr i read it wrong
oops
>>37174805
I mix it with my quark 'n oats in the mornings.
And after a workout I mix it with either water or chocolate milk.
Works well enough. Had to get used to the artificial sweetener, though.
I just use ON Rocky Road flavour. tastes pretty good even with just water, but it's godlike with any type of milk.
I use Quest multi purpose for cooking but shit's expensive. Are there other, cheaper brands of powder that hold up well for baking? Or do most whey powders work fine as long as the mixture has enough moisture?
>>37174805
>cinnamon bun flavor
thats your problem right there... all these meme flavours just taste like shit

I have 2 scoops in the morning, so that's 1,7kg per month. In practice it's more like 1,4 since I skip weekends
>>37174751
https://labdoor.com/review/body-fortress-whey-protein
>>37162251
I use this mainly because its 25 dollars (30 counting shipping) for 5.5 lbs and it taste great with milk. It doesn't mix very well though and probably has lower protein per scoop than advertised. The isolate from MP is also great but abit more expensive.
i use NOW brand
it's unflavored, has a lot of servings per container, has good lab results, and is about the same cost as ON, but more servings per lb
>>37164854
its a fact. the more protein intake, the more muscle gains.
no scoops no gains, bro
friends taking less than 4 scoops are makin small progress, while the ones takin 4-7 scoops per day, in just 8 months are really Gym Gods.
dont listen this people telling 1,5 grams prot/kg or shit like that, its all a lie. they dont want you to be big.
trust me, pal, 4-8 scoops a day. no more, no less.
ima doctor. gotta trust my words, buddy.
What do people think about Quest's whey powder? Anyone tried it? I think it's pretty new and I have a 2lb tub of it that I've yet to try.
>>37176496
MP doesn't care about quality control or your business, package of casein came in that wasn't properly sealed and all they would do is give me a 25% refund in the form of credit.
>>37175502
Oh hell yea!
>plebs
>>37164413
why not make your own "mass gainer" shake? That entire container has only 840g of protein. You could just buy a 5lb jar of protein with 1500g of protein for the same price and just add oats and peanut butter to the shake. You'd even save more money...
>>37174684
Don't buy protein according to weight. Buy in consideration of servings. For 60 bucks, that should have over 60 servings
I use pic related.
Pros: Cheap, lots of protons.
Cons: Doesn't mix well, all the flavors tastes like crap.
>>37168924
>pepto bismol
fucking love the taste of pepto bismol

Loving this. Most proteins clump up and you have to chew unless you use a blender. Not this one
>>37181722
i've tried probably 15 different brands of protein and never had to chew one.
>>37181722
>most proteins clump
i've honestly never experienced that. the trick is to put your liquid in first, then the powder on top of it. i never get clumps and my bottle doesn't even have the little blender ball.
>>37164245
It mixes like shit. Using a blender bottle I have to shake it for 5-10 minutes or it just clumps. Return it and buy literally any other brand.
>>37168965
This literally reads as an advertisement for ON
>>37179978
Triple chocolate isn't that bad
>>37164927
Hes including food. I strive for about a gram per kilo of weight or in other words as many g protein a day as half my weight. 160 lbs =80g protein a day, whey or no whey
>>37182244

>>37164245
Its decent. does the job. it doesnt have the added things some do.

if you don't like clumps in your protein, than shake it more!
>>37166016
Seconding this, anybody wanna share their opinion on Nitro Tech? Looking to buy pic related for bulking on July.
>fruit flavored protein
I uses True Nutrition Meal Replacement protien. It tastes like shit and doesn't really fill me up.
Thoughts? $45. lasted me a month. It's pretty good, mixes well. I use two scoops 4 times a week and it gets the job done. Gonna switch to chocolate though.

Thanks for the input. I assume you've tried it. Do they have any decent flavors?
