What whey protein should I buy?

[soflo352]

I'm on my 6th week recovery after having hernia surgery, Im starting to run and lift very light within the next week but I also need to gain the 13 lbs back that I lost.

I was using gold standard whey for a while, but is there anything that I can get cheaper that has more calories/protein per scoop?

Should I order off of body building or go to SAMs and buy a big bag of something?

What kind should I buy?

[emergency]

as long as you have been cleared by your Doc, I would look into

MT Platinum Whey
Cellucor Whey
BB.com Protogean
True Grit protein

[soflo352]

he told me that I could start lifting light weight starting next week.

The gold standard looks to be the some price as that muscle tech platinum.

What is the better buys? Online or in store.

Any bonus deals going on ?

[FormulaLT1poweR]

I tend to find better deals online.

If you go to the company page in the BB.com store it usually tells you what deals are going on.

You will not be disappointed with MT Platinum Whey...it's very good.

Granted you are cleared by your physician, I would take a look at MyProtein Impact Whey. It's currently 20% off in the BB store, and some of our best flavors are available. Try the Chocolate Mint or Chocolate Caramel...you will not be disappointed!

To gain the weight back, you will need to eat in a calorie surplus. Protein powder is just powdered food to help you reach your daily protein intake and can be convenient to carry around. Try to stick with whole foods as much as possible but if you need a protein, here are some of my favorites:
Body Nutrition Trutein has a variety of delicious flavors and is a combination of whey, casein, and egg protein.
BPI Whey-HD
PES Select
Blue Star Whey-Smooth
Cutler Total Protein
Animal Whey

I would always choose to order from BB.com. Really good deals to be found here, incredible fast shipping, and customer service has your back no matter what. It sounds like the Doctor has approved lifting for you, so there shouldn't be any worry of consuming protein powder (food) to reach your macronutrients.

Are you open to other suggestions? If so -

Animal Whey
Blue Star Whey Smooth
Cellucor Cor-Performance Whey
PES Select
BB.com Protogen
Muscletech Platinum 100% Whey

best deals are always on here. if it is not a bogo deal there is usually some kind of bonus product that wil come along with it.

I really don't care what protein I use, as long as it tastes halfway decent. I've always used muscle mass and gold standard that's it. I'm a pe teacher and I go to school at night so I'd like to carry a shake with me during the times I can't really eat..

I'll search some here on bb store and compare the ingredients.

What are some good foods to carry with me as snacks during my five hours in class?

I'm trying to put on 20 pounds

[emergency]

if your trying to bulk up then you need a caloroe surplus. probably should carry 1-2 meals with you in addition to your shake.

[VO2Maxima]

More calories per scoop...personally, I'd add things like peanut butter, whole milk, ground up oats, full fat yogurt, etc. Those are cheap additions that will add calories to your shakes.
For the protein itself, I would stick to something third party certified, and personally I'm a fan of blends for their texture and increased absorption. Examples of high quality blends are PES Select and Blue Star Whey Smooth. ON is fine if you prefer a straight whey and like what you're using now.
Good snacks to carry around could be trail mix, dried fruit, little packets of granola, nuts, PopTarts, etc.

[soflo352]

I'm a huge fan of peanut butter... I came across the BSN Syntha-6 on BB.com. They have a chocolate peanut butter flavor, 5lbs for $49.99. I paid about $54 for my whey gold standard.

Syntha-6 just as good as the gold ON?

Anything else I should look at ordering off of bb.com while I'm trying to bulk up? I have micronized creatine as well.

If you want to pack on size you need to be in a caloric surplus. 20 pounds should be put on over a long term, not quickly. Great snacks include, well, anything that fits your macros...but I'm a huge fan of protein cookies by Lenny&Larry's and MyProtein, and also Quest bars and Combat Bars.

Muscletech Platinum 100% Whey

MT Platinum

Thanks for the Platinum Whey recommendations. It is a high quality and great tasting option. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. It tastes good in water as well.

Great advice. These will definitely beef up your caloric intake for a low $$.

Another great protein powder would be scivation whey in chocolate peanut butter or chocolate. We have vanilla as well but our chocolate options are stellar and delicious. 30g of protein per scoop.

A definite must try for peanut fans

[monstarich]

[Marshall28]

MT platinum whey or Cellucor Whey.

[XCriticalBenchX]

I'd give 100% Whey Protean a look; great flavor choices of brown sugar maple oatmeal cookie and chocolate covered pretzel. Soon, blueberry muffin and red velvet cake. Tons and tons of great reviews all over

Yes, I believe that protein can heal a surgery faster. According to what I read, protein that are advisable to eat includes eggs, meats, fish, seafood, tuna, poultry, soy milk, tofu, cottage cheese, yogurt and so forth. However, consulting your physician is also one of the best things to do.

[soopamyko]

Op, prosupps whey donut glazed is legit. Soon Campfire marshmellow coming!

[TheFugitive]

OP, BPI Best Protein and Whey-HD are both on special. Both powders are also 3rd party verified through ChromaDex

[shoefanatic23]

Thank you to those above who mentioned Blue Star Whey Smooth as an option. OP, Whey Smooth is becoming a forum favorite. We provide an a high quality protein, what you see on the label is what you get, and the variety of flavors are legit. The favorite around these parts of the forum is the Chocolate Covered Banana. Now is a great time to check out Whey Smooth as it is $10 off in the bb.com store.

[NEBinAK]

Scivation whey has 30g of protein per scoop and is a high quality filler free whey. It is definitely worth checking in to, the chocolate peanut butter is a fan favorite.
