Which protein is the best????

[nancybott]

I tried to search the thread on this topic but my search isn't working, and I want to make my purchase soon.

I've used Whey before, but couldn't bare the taste enough to drink a lot to notice a difference. I'm in paramedic school so I'm going to start forcing myself to drink it because I need to build muscle.

I'm looking at casein because I see that you can drink it at night before bed. I'm also looking at Hydrolyzed Whey since it works quicker.

Which do you guys recommend?? Also how often should I drink it? Daily, every 3 days? I work out every other day if that helps.

Thanks

doesnt matter which type you get. Blends are fine, whey works just fine. Casein is good for satiation. The speed at which something works doesnt matter, that's marketing hype. You havent tried the right kind of whey if you think it has to taste bad.



Look into PROnom (free samples in my sig), protean, vasolate and UP

PROnom is the best chocolate on the market imo and the vanilla tastes like a twinkie

UP 2.0, PROnom/AXIS chocolate, VMS protean and dymatize

[Ellis42]

That a matter of opinion

I personally like:

Dymatize
Combat Powder
Giant Sports
Trutein
PROnom

[VaughnTrue]

as others have said, protein = protein = protein for the most part.

as far as flavor?

This is the best :http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/iforce/protean.html

[joregorn]

whatever fits your macros and wallet

[melaneybh]

The type isn't going to matter, here are the proteins I enjoy the flavour of Trutein, Giant Sports, Pronom 23, Syntha 6, UP 2.0, Protean, Myofusion Elite....

Can't beat 4.4lbs Nitropeak Whey for $39.94, and you get a free 1lb Nitro Peak Whey with it right now, a great deal!

You can drink it whenever you like. I normally have ~2 shakes a day whenever I'm pressed for time between college classes or need a quick and easy meal replacement.

The most important factor for you is to find a protein that you enjoy. This is too easy with today's protein. Forget about that sleepy-time and fast acting line. Check out the nutrition section to figure out your macros. This will tell you how much p/c/f you need. Frequency of protein is not the key. Hitting your macros is.

PROnom 23 free samples in my signature below

For tasterice ratio I think that ON 100% Gold Standard Whey has several solid flavors. Double Chocolate, Delicious Strawberry, and Vanilla Ice Cream are all favorites of mine. At about $25/2lb tub they are pretty affordable.

Opinions mean nothing as famous scientist have proven XF to be the best tasting

[BetterThanLife]

Good opportunity here for reps to post up their best looking protein powder photos.

It's highly unlikely to make any measurable difference whether it's whey, casein, or a blend. Both proteins are high-quality, and both are effective. Get a product that suits your macronutrient preferences, and one that you can enjoy drinking so you don't have to "start forcing yourself to drink it!"

[MacKinnon37]

personally I like CnC combat powder and trutein but like others said just pick one that fits you budget, taste, and macros

[SwolenONE]

I like whey/casein blends... iforce, xtreme and beverly make some amazing flavors.

[drfeelgood93]

ON Gold Standard 100% Whey is great stuff, on my third tub of double rich chocolate and loving it! Would definitely help you with your goals, pretty cheap here on bb, and the top selling protein I believe? Can't go wrong with that

Actually is not very hard to find cheaper and tastier options.

[NJPUMP21912]

Try Myofusion Cinnamon Roll. You will love it

[emanb56]

Dymatize Elite Whey is my go to- Great quality, amazing taste, and isn't expensive. Cafe Mocha is highly recommended!

Btw choose the protein based upon what your goals are..If you're going to be working out and want to gain muscle I would buy Whey protein and have it right after your workout with a good carb source such as an apple, or bowl of oatmeal.

[alewisdvm]

If there is a significantly cheaper (not just $3) protein that tastes nearly as good as ON Gold, I would like to know. At the price for the 5 pound jug, I could only find a few that were roughly equivalent but not necessarily that much better?

What other proteins have you tried?

ON doesn't taste good.

ON doesn't taste good.

Well taste is subjective which is why I'm curious what all he has tried.

This is a misleading comment. It's similar to saying "eat based upon your goals," but there are not specific foods for individual goals. Food choices are based on personal needs and preferences, and the same goes for protein powder. Also, the facts are this: slow or a combination of slow/fast proteins appear to be superior to fast proteins alone post-workout. If whey-only was superior to a casein-whey blend, we would see this demonstrated consistently in head-to-head comparisons. That simply has not been the case in research.

my dad and I are also ordering protein tonight. We have been using dymatize elite for a few years. I use it because its cheap and has a decent profile...but if there is something that isnt much more expensive, I'd like to switch things up and give a new protein a try

I've heard a lot of good things about trutein...I have a 20% off coupon for this site, which flavor would you say is the best tasting?

SAN 100% Platinum Whey can be found at a decent price. I know the Dutch Choc really tastes good.

Taste is subjective, but they are true to there name. So if you like cinnabun, go for that, if you like chocolate dipped strawberries go for that etc.

thank you both, repped. I am a big peanut butter cup fan, so I was leaning towards that flavor if I go with the Trutein
