Cutting, what kind of protein?

[Wakaaa]

Edit: I know the type of protein makes no difference whether trying to gain or lose weight, it's all about caloric intake. Just thought I'd write that now before someone says "certain proteins aren't better for cutting."

So I just finished my first trutein cinnabun tub, was looking to get another case of something else because I really don't feel like waiting for an order to come in from online so I'll probably stop by vitamin shoppe, what do you guys suggest? I'm currently cutting and don't take any supps other than the trutein cinnabun that finished a few days ago.

Is optimum nutrition good? I'm hoping to cut down to about 12% not sure if I'm on the right track and having a hard time, but I'll continue working on it.

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks!

Any protein you enjoy.
Go with a blend it will fill you up quicker.
Personally i recommend Phase8 it keeps me full 2-3 hours and tastes well amazing

[Providence94]

OP, when you are cutting, drop to 50g of protein per day, that is how you get ripped!!!!


Ok all jokes aside, anything in my signature would be perfect for you, they are all great tasting.

Why do you suggest a low carb one?

[Providence94]

Why do you suggest a low carb one?

cause carbs are bad for health..... I eat like 2g of trace and net carbs only. Makes me real shredded.

[literalparadox]

dont go to ON after trutein. son youll be disappoint

unless you get chocolate casein and make sludges then thats super good for cutting. a staple for me

Low carb... rofl no.

[Valhallabound86]

Probably a blend for cutting (casein/whey), just to keep your appetite in check for longer. But really, any one that you can fit into your diet.

Thanks for the reply guys, what types of protein have casein??

Check the carbs / fat content and make sure it fits what you are looking for... then just choose something you will enjoy drinking

what percentage of fat per scoop would be good for fat loss?

[joefreas]

When I cut I go with the lowest cal/g of protein I can find. Usually an iso. ON is my go to.

Then boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked on a grill and tons of veggies for satiety. Keeps the cals down and I'm full and meet protein goals.

Thanks! Not sure if I'm cutting right maybe 2.2k cals at my weight and bf is too much to lose on with my activity level. Not sure though, I do Jason Blahas 5 x 5 novice workout. Go to school that's it. No cardio or job.

2.2k is prolly not enough, my maintenance is 2800cals and im 5'8'' 153 pounds so if i wanted to cut i would take away 200-500 cals.

You may be more active though.

Uh wut?

Fat loss comes from a caloric deficit.

[Milgy]

I'm currently using True nutritions WPI Cold Filtration Protein Choc Chip Cookie Dough (Heavy Flavoring) which is awesome

also i liked Universal Ultra Whey cookies and cream which is very good for making sludge

This post is strong with truth.

for cutting i usually prefer casein as i can make sludges. only downside is they give like 52 servings vs 72 for whey/casein. feelsbad

Its all about hitting your macros and doing your cardio man. You can have whatever type of protein powder you want, as long as it fits the macros

[My_Legacy]

No protein is better for cutting. Just get one with solid macros, or you could even invest in some casein protein since it may make you fuller.

[aspiringloser]

Hey Opie I'm currently cutting while taking Gold Standard whey. It's the best. The strawberry-banana has low calories and very clean protein.

If ure on a budget, u can take that walmart body fortress brand. Their FB page has a $1 off coupon

My average daily intake is 1500.i only take my protein days I work out (protein takes up about 500 calories, hence 4 servings). I use the protein as meal replacement. I always take 2 servings at a time.

I wouldn't take it on resting days unless you wanna fill up remaining calories or feel ur muscles need a bit more protein to get through.

Hope that helps

[Cheftepesh]

Like most say just find one with a good macros profile and taste.

[Wakaaa]

Thanks for the replies guys, will try 2300 calories and see what happens after a week or two then add more depending on what happens.

I stated that I knew that in the OP, I was asking what protein you guys suggest for satiety and taste after using trutein. I don't want to wait on the order.

Read above, what casein do you suggest?

Read above.

Thanks though.

What ON do you suggest? I may go for ON this time as I don't want to wait on it in the mail unless phase 8 is sold at gnc/vitamin shoppe. Thanks and repped.

How do you make sludge? What casein/flavor?

Thanks and repped.

Any kind is find if it fits your macros honestly, don't let companies fool you into spending a ton of money on their protein..
