Cheapest but best protein powder

[GingerSkeleton]

I weigh 150lbs and am skinny as all hell. Would like to supplement my diet with some protein shakes but don't really want to break the bank.

is this worth it? Matrix Nutrition Muscle Whey Complex Protein - Mass Gain Powder Best Value. (Chocolate, 5KG) it's on amazon at the moment.

I'm hearing mixed things about them, but for the price I'm tempted to go for it. I'd prefer to buy a big tub of something rather than 1kg tubs. Is there better for the same price or maybe a little more? Most I wanna go is £40.

Cheers lads

If you're spending pennies on a protein powder, there's likely a reason. Poorer quality. What's in the tub might not be the same as what's on the label. Poor flavoring.

Plenty of good proteins on the market at fair prices.....
PES Select
Dymatize Iso-100
Animal Whey
MT Nitrotech Gold
AI Sport Whey
Purus Labs Myofeed

I would be hesitant on trying to find the cheapest priced protein as odds are the quality is more than likely poor.

4 brands I like that are high quality are below in no order.

Animal Whey
Nutrabio Whey
Blue Star
Bodybuilding.com whey

Taste is no bother of mine. I just want a powder that'll help me put muscle mass on. Should I avoid Matrix Nutrition then?

[WorldClassDBag]

myprotein would be your best bet. tastes pretty good and cheap.

No single powder is going to put mass on you. That's a culmination of your overall nutrition and if you are eating in a caloric surplus consistently or not. A protein powder is just a means of convenience when you need to hit your protein target for the day.

Do you know how many calories you should be consuming in order to gain weight?

I read I should be hitting 4,000. I'm hitting 4,500 everyday so far. I just wanted a powder to put in with my oats for the extra bit of protein.

If you don’t wanna shiiiit your pants SixStar is great price. And tastes good. Can be found almost anywhere for under $20 bucks

^Great posts consistently

How much weight are you gaining weekly?

Currently, the best budget friendly protein for bbcom is Nitrotech Gold (highly recommend Van. Funnel Cake)
~62 cents/serving if you use the 2 (2.2lbs) promo
Or
~50 cents/serving if you use the B2G1 promo. + Eglilbe for BBcom's free shipping
Van. Funnel Cake + 3 servings of Oats + Dash of Cinnamon = staple

At that many calories a protein powder can definitely be handy to help hit your protein targets.

Are you gaining weight weekly with that amount of calories? 4,500 is a ton of calories lol.

I'm an ectomorph so I find it hard to gain weight, have my whole life. So far though I've gained 3lbs in 2 weeks. I feel that's a bit off, but the 4,500 was started 4 days ago. At first I was doing 3,300.

I hope you didn't go from 3,300 to 4,500 all of a sudden. I'm not a fan of rapid calorie increases and rather take things slow and gradually if you're going to be increasing your calorie intake. A good app to use for that rolling average and tracking your body weight is "Happy Scale."

I would weigh yourself daily to get a 7 day rolling average and see if you need to increase calories or not at the end of the month. Last thing you want to excessive fat gain from such an increae in calories.

Nitrotech whey gold would be nice choice. Vanilla funnel cake would also be the flavor choice.

If you really wanna dig deep in the bottom of the barrel get yourself a tub of Elevation powder.....explosively diarrhea-licious... seriously tho buddy just spend a few bucks extra and get a good powder....better yet spend some of that on food too....

If you're in the UK, then just this.

3lbs in 2 weeks is completely fine
Be patient and commit to it

Not familiar with the powder you listed, but it seems to me like you shouldn't even be looking into buying protein powder.. especially with your mentioning of being skinny. Spend that money on FOOD that contains protein such as ground beef, chicken, eggs, whole milk, etc.

[rockeo]

bodybuilding.com, signature brand is verrrrry good and considering the price/quality/servings/taste
the chocolate is a good versatile choice

You aren't an ectomorph, you just need to eat more food than you have your whole life. 3 lbs in 2 weeks, if it continues, is a little bit over what you want. 0.5-1 lbs per week of bodyweight

There's nothing wrong with trying to save money but sometimes you get what you pay for. This is usually, almost always the case for supplements. PES Select is amazing and so is Animal Whey, affordable, tastes amazing, mixes amazing, no BS ingredients...

[CONTROLLED LABS]

with promore on b1g1 50% off right now, i think it qualifies

[poison]

SAN Titanium Whey is always one of the more economical choices here, but add in that the Cappuccino flavor is discounted to $43/5lbs, and it's a damn steal.
