Whey Best Bang for your Buck?

[jwman92]

What do people think is the best Whey protein in terms of quality at a good price. Thinking of switching off from ON Gold Standard, and want some suggestions.

[cjwav34]

SAN Titanium Whey, Cellucor Whey, and CL Pronom

[InItForFitness]

Cellucor Performance Whey, Trutein, Dymatize.
Any of these.

However the best bang for your buck is proper nutrition and packing in your macros and calories from whole food.
Take a look at THIS to determine appropriate calorie and macro nutrient needs.
Compose your diet of foods that meet these needs and provide sufficient micronutrient content as well.
That my friend is the best bang for your buck.

Just search around for the cheapest 5lb tubs of whey protein and do the math on price per gram of protein.

I'd definitely go with Nitro-Pro from Muscleology. Very high quality protein and 9.9 taste rating at bb.com store

Check out the rating!

Gold Standard

Looking forward to the SAN Titanium. It's in my cart, 70+ servings for $50 and the flavour says butterscotch? I'm friggin in.

How is $39 for 34 servings a good "bang for your buck?"

Universal Ultra Whey Pro offers very good value for money, and the 'Mocha Cappuccino' flavour tastes very good.

No offence intended, but going by the label, the taurine and glycine content seems to be significantly high in this product.

T/G is being removed from the formula. Not sure if BB.com is carrying it yet. The new Syngex has a slight flavor tweak + new label as well.
No offense taken, VPX listened to the consumers who wanted out.

Yes, I did saw a post where it mentioned that VPX has done some tweaking to the product. BB needs to update their labels. There are many products that have labels that are not up to date.

Since nutrition is everything, you should stay with your whey protein. I'm guessing your into gaining muscle. One of the best way to do this is a weight gainer they have a lot more calories. This works well for skinny guys. It's also an easy way to stack cals for people that are not experienced in calculating the amount of calories needed.
I've always needed to loose weight. That means I've never used one before, but that's the main job of a gainer. Hope you have some success in the gym.
Hey, could I say "get a partner" It makes staying on track a little easier.

I'm sorry for not really answering your question. I haven't had any problem with proteins out there, even the bodybuilding.com brand is good. You just have to find one that tastes good to you.

Thanks for the advice man. I actually started with a cut (Gethin's 12 Week Transformation), since I was a little overweight (probably around 16% BF to start), so that I could get down to a low body fat level before I started mass building. I'm going to do a long term mass building program, probably until at least my winter break from school, so the Mass Gainer isn't really cost effective since it's so many less servings for the same price.

I actually do have a number of lifting partners, one that I've been doing the Transformation with, and another that I'll start lifting with once school starts, so I'm set on that front.

Higher Quality Protein and best taste.... i wasn't just looking at cost/serving ratio

[Phaze2]

Sorry op but nothing beats Gold Standard when it comes for best bang for buck. Just look at the evidence.




They're pretty much the same price per serving except you get a better quality product in Gold Standard.

So one company charges $45 for 71 servings of whey, while the other charges $39 for 34 servings.

Provided that both of them are using actual whey protein, which one is the best bang for your buck?

[OptimumBody]

Sorry op but nothing beats Gold Standard when it comes for best bang for buck.

Neglecting taste, ON Whey Gold Standard is probably one of the 'best bang for buck' whey protein supplement, but if taste is considered, there are others that are better, for instance Universal Ultra Whey Pro, that are among the 'best bang for buck' whey protein supplement. Also, there are many good whey supplements that are not sold at the BB store, but are available elsewhere.

Um, I think OP wanted you to do that, so . . .

How do you figure better quality? If anything the SAN product is of higher quality.
