Optimum Nutrition's Whey Protein

**Beast** · 10-17-2001, 02:33 PM

I give Optimum Nutrition's Whey Protein a 6 out of 10. It tastes alright. It doesn't mix very well though. But its definitely worth the price.

Some people don't understand Optimum, but their 100% Whey, actually 77.5% is one of the higher end 5lb Tubs on the market.

The Carbs are lower, and the Protein % is higher then Prolabs 5lb, and the price is on the money.

The label is good too as far as info.

Plus they make Choc Mint, and Pina Colada too.

All I have ever found was the vanilla protein mix by optimum. I never knew the other flavors existed. Damn talk about leading a sheltered life.
But I do like optimum for the price and quality I agree with my man fit here.

**Beast** · 10-17-2001, 07:09 PM

I haven't seen the Chocolate Mint yet.

**str8flexed** · 10-17-2001, 08:57 PM

Optimum is the **** for the price! Good blend of different whey's.
Peace

Yes, the chocolate mint has only been out for a month or two. It is only available right now in the 5 lb size. Of course, you can order it cheap at http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

Optimum's 100% Whey is all I've been using for the past year. The price seems to be good and the taste is OK. It might not be quite as good as whey isolates, but it is a lot cheaper and it is definitely worth the money.

**size** · 10-25-2001, 01:50 PM

I think it is the best bang for the buck. it tastes good(choc) and mixes well. However, i like the procomplex better due to the blend within but the price makes me limit the amount i use.

I used optimum for quite a long time without much benefit. It mixes really easy compared to most, and tastes great...but I never got much for benfits in muscle growth.

You not taking in enough protein

I have been very please with optimum's 100% whey. I usually add it to an mrp or just add it to some skim milk. It is top quality and tastes good, too. For the money, you can't go wrong with this "must have" supp.

**Tim** · 11-02-2001, 09:08 AM

I recently bought the 10 lb. bag of Opimum Whey for $48 at a supplement store. I think that's a damn good price as far as regular supplement stores go. At GNC a 5 lb. container of the stuff costs $45, which is still an ok (though not cheap, but then again everything at GNC is way overpriced) price. Where ever I go, Opitmum Nurtition 100% Whey always seems to be the best deal for your money.

Ok Mr. Superior.. once again I will spell it out for you... not enough protein a day... thank-you

**Big Cat** · 11-02-2001, 10:23 AM

Ok, let me spell it out for you now.

A. you claim you can't absorb more thabn 30 grams of protein per 2 hours

B. you say that you need 1 to 1.5 grams of whey protein per pound (and whey is only 30% of my total protein intake)

C. I weigh 254 lbs

D.conclusion : I need a minimum of 254 grams of whey, preferebaly 381 grams.

E. Conclusion 2 : In 16 hours of being awake I can maximally absorb 240 grams of protein.

Hmmmmm ....

Conclusion #3... didnt understand I was dealing w/ The Jolly Green Giant..... for people weighing in under 200lbs, this works out perfectly...

**Big Cat** · 11-02-2001, 10:44 AM

You forget not all of us are still beginners. I take 350-450 grams of protein (from any source, as long as i get it in) a day. A steroid user would need considerably more. Probably well over 500 grams.

Ouch... can you inject protien these days??? Give me 1 day of meals for you

**Big Cat** · 11-02-2001, 10:58 AM

8 AM, protein shake (40 grams whey/casein blend with 500 ml of milk) and 8-10 eggs, sometimes a little bread

10 AM , noodles or spaghetti, baked potatoes and whole wheat bread. Hot or cold depending in whether I'm home or not.

12 noon or thereabouts I eat 2 subs (ham, cheese, eggs and whatever else they have) and 3 chocolate sandwhiches, I don't know the name for these in english

3 PM junk, whatever I get my hands on at the time. Left-overs, burgers and fries, pizza if I can afford it and so on. My daily cheat meal

5-6 PM my dinner, whatever is brewing at home or whatever I can whip up if noone else is home. Usually 2-3 helpings of your standard full plates of meat and veggies, steak, chicken, whatever.

8-9 PM, postworkout meal consisting of 1 liter of milk, 150 grams of weight gain powder, 3 raw eggs and some skim milk powder.

11 PM 500 ml shake with 40 grams of whey/casein blend

Over an entire day I'll drink 6-7 liters of semi-skimmed milk.

Now wonder they call you Big Cat.. I will stick with my 180lbs.. I dont think I could eat that much... I wish I had the time

**Big Cat** · 11-02-2001, 02:50 PM

Its not about having time, noone with a life has time, its about making time. Packing meals, carrying them with you. Make the sacrifice to get enough sleep and so on. The time is there, you just have to learn that eating doesn't keep you from doing other things as well.

**CyberGod** · 11-15-2001, 04:28 PM

LOL big cat, in one day, you eat more than i do in a whole week

**Younggunz** · 11-15-2001, 05:26 PM

I'm starting to catch up to your amount of eating CAT. Everything but the 8 eggs in the morning bit. Are you just using whites? I'm trying to catch up to your milk consumption too. I'm right around a gallon and a half a day. Thanks for all of your advice!!! Eating does help.

**big boi** · 11-17-2001, 06:33 PM

I'm curious, for the optimum whey, what is the best tasting flavor and where is it cheapest to buy at... thanks!

**Dorian** · 11-17-2001, 06:36 PM

I am kinda fond of the chocolate. as for sales look around and see where I could say some places but they don't deliver on the net.

**str8flexed** · 11-17-2001, 07:42 PM

Bodybuilding.com is pretty good. So is my friend's site. He owns his own supplement store. http://aaronssuplements.hypermart.net

**Bomber33** · 11-29-2001, 11:21 AM

Optium nutrition protein is cheap!!! But the problem I had with it, that I was "passing way way too much gas". So I stopped taking!!

Bomber this is commom with every form of protein.... You better start taking it again....

**Bomber33** · 11-29-2001, 06:25 PM

SyNeRgY, I understand its common with all proteins,,,,but I've taken ProLab's protein and other brand and I still think when it gets to "polluting the world" Optium Nutrition does a trick on me!
