    Many companies are known for over/underestimating contents even according to their own label. While the label for GNC amp and ON appear similar I'd put more faith in ON as a product. Take a look at labdoor.com for more detailed analysis - I stumbled onto the app about a year ago and regularly reference it :)

    If you're looking to just eat in large quantities of protein for the purpose of creating satiety, I'd say the most bang for your buck would be bulk buying vital wheat gluten, TVP, or soy grits. I wouldn't get all my protein from Vital Wheat Gluten because of the lack of some amino acids though.
    All 3 comes with fiber which is the next most satiating thing for most people following protein, and is usually more satiating on a per calorie basis. They'll also be a solid compared to whey protein, which as a liquid isn't going to be as satiating as eating a solid protein - part of the reason whey and milk entered bodybuilding was that hard gainers could get more protein in that way compared to eating meat without satiety stopping them.
    Protein level seems kind of high to me, and almost certainly past the point of nutritional advantage, but you've said it is for appetite. Then again, not knowing you're free day, maybe you're ratio is looks rather different when you average it out over a week.

    Your macros look about right as they fall within the recommended guidelines. You should not be cutting carbs if you are very active as you need them for energy. My sports dietitian recommended musashi High Protein powder for recovery after a workout.

    You don't need carbs ...you may like them ...I do ...they work for me

    And protein timing is irrelevant

    PSMF diets are VLC diets and should be done under a doctor's supervision. It's against the MFP terms of service to advocate or discuss VLCD.
