Lets talk protein powder.

[MITCHAPAL00ZA]

Protein powder w/ water is god awful. Thank god I rarely use it on this bulk atm.

Chocolate milk in shakes or go **** your mother.

Lol I actually like shakes w/ water. Don't get me wrong they are better with milk, but I use water 9/10 times. Maybe I like it so much bc I rarely "indulge" in using milk for them

If only you could use almond milk.

Dymatize CnC was terrible.

I really enjoy all of the casein flavors I've tried thus far: Cinnamon Roll, Vanilla, Cookies n Creme, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Their XT banana nut bread flavor is good, too.

Trade me 2 scoops of Blueberry XT for some of my SAN MetaForce Rocky Road

Lol 2 days late! Just killed the tub. It was interesting but won't buy again

I saw your review of Metaforce, you said it was ok.

You're a ****ing liar.


It's straight ****.

[BigBoLuke93]

Damn, ha. No worries mang. Reviews are so mixed, can't see myself buying a full tub, especially with all the protein I have now

Everybody has different taste buds man, and I happen to think the Rocky Road is legit. Very unique, and for the price it's awesome IMO.

Not for everyone though, I suppose. As with anything else. Sorry you didn't enjoy it

Put it in oats. The only way I was able to finish off my tubs of the Metaforce stuff was in oats. Oats makes proteins better for whatever reason.

You should've looked in this thread. Both Alwaystrying and I stated that we were not a fan.

I can vouch for San MetaForce RR, it was def. legit, a bit chalky but had a unique taste to it(makes bomb sludge and thick oats, pretty similar to Gaspair in texture IMO), not too chocolately and not too sweet, just about right, but have you tried Vanilla Almond yet?

The rocky road was better than the vanilla almond, but like I said, I wasn't too much of a fan of either. When I get back to bulking, I'll be having quite a bit of proats, though, so I may end up picking up a tub or two of the RR since it is so cheap. 5-6k calories while in grad school will make me cheap ass and it's an easy meal

[foodpr0n]

In Aussieland, I know AlwaysTrying haaaaated it.
Whereas I loved it. Andyboi likes it too.

And 5-6k. Jesus, as much as I'd want that intake, do not want that grocery bill (in Aus anyway).

Lots of rice?

Oats, chicken, potatoes, protein powder. That'll be about all for most days. Throw in some treats on occasion, but I don't mind keeping it the same for most days.

i wish i had very low fat requirements. srs. fat free froyo and protein powder on the daily

Ah yeah nice, rice and potatoes are cheap enough.

I eat the same meal from 3/5, myself. Often 4/5.
Dinner I do like to change, though. Be it making a rice dish, pasta dish, potato dish or noodle one with the occasional pizza. Enough variety for me there. I just buy chicken and beef, and change sauces/add cheese or not on top of any usual veg.

Yep really didn't enjoy vanilla almond. I tried to give them another chance too and bought rocky road, 1 scoop and bleh

I just can't bring myself to switch from XT. or to really try anything different.....you know me, am I missing out or would I just be disappointed with trutein?

[enfieldvball]

LOL, trutein is miles better than XT, i'm all about value too but trutein just towers over XT, tried all XT flavors except blueberry, trutein even provides better thickness than XT even though XT is a straight casein (trutein is a mix of a lot of blends)

[FattyMcTubbs]

LOL, even though XT is a straight casein

That's news to me.

xt is a blend. its primarily soy with soy casein and whey.

[midcoastking33]

Trutein tastes better than xt, I've tried every flavor of xt and a few of tru for what it's worth. Not sure it's worth the extra cash though

[foodpr0n]

Ha, you know me mate - since you recommended XT to me circa 2010, I've never actually not had a tub on hand

Got 2 x Fudge Brownie and 2 x Vanilla atm.

I've just heard so many great things about this choc peanut butter cup and it's back in stock with the Aussie supplier so want to give it a shot.

Do also want to give Dymatize's casein a go too.

You know us Mark, we seem to have similar tastes in everything. Foodpr0n is trusting me on his orders too

IMO...

TruTein choc PB > XT fudge brownie
XT banana nut muffin > TruTein choc banana

Tried Banana Cream Trutein? It has taken over for Chocolate-Covered Banana and I give it the upper hand.

No sorry

Only those 2 and cinnabun

How come so many people seem to be going with Trutein and Elite XT? I've checked the profiles and they're pretty low in protein (both less than 70g per 100g of powder), with Trutein also being really expensive. Is it just that you prefer the taste so much more over stuff like, say, ON's Gold Standard or Dymatize Elite Whey?

Every flavor of Trutein has 24-25g of protein per 34g scoop, so it's going to be slightly over 70g per 100g of powder. It also tastes phenomenal, and has a thicker consistency than purely whey due to the casein and egg, making it better for cooking/sludge/oats. The price of Trutein is similar (or cheaper at some places ) than the products you mentioned. Elite XT is cheaper everywhere, and I also find it to be thicker and more delicious than your preferences. Give them a try and see for yourself

Hmm, it seems three of them have 23g, one has 24g and one has 25g. But alright, let's say it's 70g per 100g I think for now I'm sticking with those two, but I guess if everyone's recommending the taste, it might be a worthy consideration if I ever decide to change. I just know I always feel bad buying whey (or protein powder) with less than around 75g protein per 100g, don't know why. I figure if I'm buying a protein supplement, the more the better.

[psychodiver9]

So you'd rather eat crap taste that deal with ~2grams less protein per scoop?
