Whey isolate still makes me number 2

[pavelalpe]

So I am lactose intolerant. Switched to whey isolate in high hopes. Still going to the bathroom like Harry in Dumb and Dumber after drinking it.

Should I just give up on whey altogether and maybe try beef or vegan protein?

Beef or vegan protein is an absolute waste for the most part. Beyond pea protein, which is horrific to flavor, you are 100% better off using whole foods.

Use whole food sources.

Thanks. Just spent 100 dollars and didn't want it to go to waste lol. Also thought a scoop of 30 grams of protein goes along way instead of gobbling an extra tuna can or such.

It can be beneficial if it's a legit protein source. Beef isolate traditionally has a horrific amino acid make up, rendering it basically useless, on par with collagen protein.

I am a big advocate of getting my protein from everyday food, and stay away from powders, but the problem is it's hard for me as is to hit 100 grams a day or hit a little bit over. I work full time with OT pretty much most of the year and go to the gym 4 days a week. I am always amazed when I see people say they actually eat 150-200 grams of protein a day.

This is the main reason I am trying the whey, so I can push that much more into my macros. How do people get anywhere near 200 grams a day and not take a steep hit on their wallet or time (cooking and all) for that matter.

100 grams of protein shouldn't be hard at all

How do you manage 150?

[Cheftepesh]

If you are looking at a vegan protein one of the best is San Raw Fusion. The vanilla is one of the best I have had in a shake and has great numbers. For whole foods it's very easy to hit numbers with chicken, tuna and beef.

How do you manage 150?

Very easy
Eggs
Chicken
Beef
Fish
Turkey
Beef jerky

Plus protein from carb sources

I can eat 20oz of meat easily in one sitting

You can sell your protein powder if you're worried about "wasting money." It would likely be best for you to hit your protein targets via whole foods.

How much protein do you take to be so big and ripped?

[tastan]

getting 150g of protein from food alone is easy once you make it a goal.

What brand isolate are you using? Maybe it is not legit isolate?

IMO, try another brand of isolate. You might react better unless you already have tried that.

[BBhandsome]

Maybe another brand help ya, or try to avoid Whey and let's use whole foods

[hossjob]

There is nothing that says you have to use protein powder. I rarely, if ever use them. Use whole food. If you're concerned about some the benefits of whey protein, just eat 2-3 hours before training then supplement with BCAA pre and intra workout.

[BrofessorAtWork]

Every drink ment for fitness makes me go no.2 , preworkout and protein are the worst lol

[BlueRev]

There is no need for whey lol it's just convenient for an excellent source.
Cook whole foods.

How many different isolates did you use? I've found some isolates still cause issues while others dont. Perhaps it's due to the quality of isolate or the fact that not all of the protein may be isolate as stated?

Have you ever tried Egg protein?

[hellstorm2004]

2 decent sized chicken breasts a day would make up 100 grams alone. Fa-ge 0% yogurt alone has 23g of protein.

That's 123g approx right there for you.

who's salty in the first place? I Don't give a fuk about your neg or any neg, bitch you are almost 40 years old get your chit together

[Heizz]

OP, have you had this reaction to other isolates as well, or is this the first?

If it is the first, I would also suggest checking out other isolate proteins such as Iso-Smooth, Iso-100, or Impact Whey Isolate.

If this is a common reaction, then I'd suggest trying to maximize your protein intake from whole foods. Whey/Isolates are solely used to help one achieve their protein macros for the day. If you can do without, you are golden.
