Whey protein?

All I can say is you get what you pay for. Body Fortress is one of the worst powders you can buy. It's cheap for a reason.
I can recommend Optimum nutrition - 100% whey gold standard. Double choc or vanilla are the tastiest imo, even good mixed with water.
What difference in performance have you seen or what studies have you read that show a difference in performance between Body Fortress and ON?0 -
Order online...better deals and better selection....sometimes cheaper than Walmart.
I buy most of my stuff at a locally owned health food store. If they don't have it they order it for me.

I personally like Jay Robb's egg white protein. But it can be expensive. NOW, Foods, BSN Dessert, and Optium Nutrtion are also good. Target has a good "generic" brand protein also. I'm not a fan of EAS but that is me.
Check out amazon.com or bodybuilding.com for proteins also. I'm usually able to find pretty good deals on there.0 -

Some cuts of beef are better than others. *shrug* If you are just interested in supplementing some protein I dont think it matters all that much.
Online prices can be cheaper even than Walmart but a lot of times this requires you to buy a large amount to make shipping costs no over power the savings. If I just want a months supply for around $20 Walmart is right down the street.0 -
the only need for protien powder " dont go for anything else" is if you didnt eat enough for your protien in take need " in case you are traching it " and to be frank if you eat enough food you dont need the protien powder , it is a supplement NOT essential
any brand is the same basicly they are the same however you look at it0 -

bodyfortress is fine. just choose the protein powder brand that tastes bests and mixes well enough 4 u. the cheaper protein powders have a little more fat and carbs than the more expensive ones. just account for the fat and carbs in ur log and adjust ur meals accordingly. but it is very minuscule. the very pure proteins absorb very fast into ur bloodstream but that is not normally necessary. becuz meat absorbs very slow and it is a great source of protein. good luck0

(Non-official) Assay of protein content in popular whey protein brands. Body fortress only has half the protein content they advertise according to this test.

I've read a lot about people not liking the drinks. Are the protein bars any good? Do they do the same thing?
What you have to watch out for in the bars and not always in the drinks is the amount of fat. Don't eat one of the bars and then go sit or go to bed, cause the extra fat in the bar isn't getting burned off. It's a myth that the bars perform the same as the drinks. The drinks have a very specific purpose as do the bars.
I am confused. What specific purpose do the drinks have as compared to the bars? How do the bars cause fat gain?0 -
If you are looking for a recovery drink - chocolate milk works.0

Well, take it how you will but as far as I can discern, this is the only third party study of protein content in protein supplements that has been done to date. His methodology is pretty solid (comparing powders to research grade protein isolate) and his large margin of error is probably something on the order of +/- 5-10%, so a 50% reading is probably pretty close to that. I'd certainly be wary of the body fortress brand, though this study isn't necessarily a deal breaker. Just keep it in mind when choosing powders.0 -
I use Body Fortress because I am cheap and live on a low budget, considering others when I get more money. I buy it at a discount food store that is even cheaper than Walmart at $14.95 for 2 pounds. I prefer the chocolate over the vanilla have not tried the strawberry, only the three flavors are available there. I was told by someone else that they love the chocolate-peanut butter. I add it to coffee. I have also made my own bars.0

You dont need "recovery fuel". You'll just be taking in extra calories.0
