I dig your stuff man but this was by far no means convincing evidence that anyone protein is leaps and bounds better than another. A healthy balanced diet with a bit of protein to round out the macros is key. It all depends on your goals. Want to shred up and build / maintain muscle? Eat more small meals. Lean fish, chicken, egg whites. Rice - is also your friend as well as green veggies. Limit additives like butter and oil, or sauces high in sugar and calories. Use ground dry seasonings.
If you want to put on maximum size make your own protein shakes with just about any kind of protein and throw in some raw eggs 4-6 per shake. Then a banana. And another scoop of protein powder with milk. Drink two of those a day while eating a bowl of oatmeal each day then normal breakfast of eggs and turkey sausage, etc. Must eat at least 4 meals a day. Each shake counts as 1. So ideally 5 with 3 being actual meals and two being shakes.

Whey concentrate is just fine, higher calories. The biggest thing to watch out for is protein padding. I worked for a supplement company and had to deal with sourcing raw ingredients from Glanbia. ON and Animal are 2 vertically integrated protein companies that manufacturer their own products. ON is owned by Glanbia. A few years back a bunch of smaller companies and the larger ones like Six Star, Giant Sports, Gaspari and Muscletech all got caught padding their protein content with cheap amino fillers. ON is not a Costco brand it's literally the largest protein manufacturer in the world, it's first ingredient is also whey isolate.

When I was a broke university student, I was convinced to buy Mutant Mass because the price per scoop was great. It was about $150 for 15lbs. But every time I drank it after my workout, my insides would feel like they-re being shredded. I-m pretty sure I shit blood a couple times. But because I was a broke student, I couldn-t afford to just toss away $150 worth of protein. So I would have to psyche myself up to down it. I wouldn-t make any plans for the rest of the day so I can be anchored to my toilet. The shit we do for gains.

From my personal experience it was good taking protein powder after a workout bc it digests quickly and I'd sometimes add it into oatmeal with bfast to get some extra protein. But I've tried supplenting it instead of food or doing mult. Protein shakes a day and I think I looked softer and fatter even though my cal. For the day could be less idk I feel like my body didn't respond good to it supplementing it for meals and it made me look softer. I think it's quick digestion might be why I only liked taking after workouts

What are peoples opinions on GNC proformance bulk 1340? I am a crayon eating ape and heard dont buy grocery store protein and thats about all i understood. Ive been using this stuff for a while. I cant handle slamming a full 42oz of this stuff at once so i break it down to 2 servings a day instead of the 1. One after a big breakfast and the other after lunch. And if i can stomach it one aftee dinner before bed. I have put on 8 pounds in 3 weeks, is that a good gain?

I found the best whey in terms of gas and digestion is isolate.
I'm in UK and tried gold, grenade, myprotein and bulk.
Bulk powder seems to have more crystal like powder, no idea what this means but it dissolves into milk or porridge/shakes much easier.
Per 30g its 26g protein and less than 0. 5g of fat.
Would recommend bulk, I don't work for them just my recommendation after about five years of trying out brands.

Full Strength was my protein supplement of choice but Shawn Phillips hasnt brought it back yet. So Im 63 and manage to throw up to 335 around on bench without a go to protein, I just try to get enough in my diet and creatine. I do like Isopure but just never picked up a steady routine of it. I sort of count protein throughout the day and throw in a supplement to make up when I falling short.

Genuine question -- why is isolate better here? Aside from the marginal difference in calorie content due to fat and carb content. The video mentions -quality- but the actual amino acid content of the two is the same. I guess there is a difference in cholesterol? But if thats not a concern for someone, why would I care about the extra 4g of carbs and 1. 5g of fat?

Optimum Nutrition is not a Costco exclusive brand. It's sold everywhere. Why is it crap? I've seen other videos that have tested protein and show it to be at the higher end for quality protein powders. Derek at More plates more dates says its a good protein and he knows his stuff when you break down the scientific aspects of supplements.
