Best protein powder for women...in your opinion
Replies

Isopure makes a powder that they sell in 1 lb cans. Because the 2.5lb and 5lb tubs tend to make women bulky
Can't they look for a man in the store and ask for a spot?0 -
I like optimum nutrition gold standard.
The ON Caseins taste the best though. But casein's pretty hard core...0 -
As long as the can is pink and the lid is not too tight. Buy it.
I can agree with pink, but I don't like "not too tight"

Militant vegan, nothing to see here
My bad. I forgot that vegans don't need the same nutrients as the rest of us to function. Oops.0 -
I use Gold Standard whey. It's 120 calories for 24 grams of protein and the taste is good.
yup this one. voted best protein for 2012 by bodybuilder.com0 -
I use body fortress because I can buy it at the grocery store.0

I like this idea it takes so long for me to go thru 2lbs but I am sure that it probably costs more than my cheap Body Fortress.0 -

First off, many vegans take protein powder, and vegan powders exist, so me being vegan has absolutely nothing to do with me feeling like pills and powders are BS
Even before i was vegan, i didn't take protein supplements, because nutrition comes from food, not powder. I never felt like i had a powder deficiency, so why would i feel the need to take powder to fix my non-existent deficiency?0 -

I dont hold it against you, like I said, I respect your right to feel the way you feel.
But as you know, no one ever wins these philosophical debates...so good luck0 -
Ideologies on food aside, who need protein powders? Well, I guess no one needs them but who are they best for? If someone is trying to up protein to get more lean body mass but isn't doing a lot of lifting, yet, or not like super crossfit athletic would the added protein be a benefit for keeping them full longer and less likely to snack on carby things or would it just add to bloat and weight gain. And since I'm not on testosterone I'm not worried about getting bulky.0

chicken would make you feel full longer than powder mixed with water0 -
Trader Joe's sells hemp protein powder that is vegan, if anyone's lookin for a hemp based powder.0

protein specifically for women is just a marketing sham. I go with Horleys Ice Whey (it's got BCAA and glutamine). I'm pretty happy with it0
-
In my opinion, protein is gender neutral.
Always thought the same. I use Impact Whey Protein from myprotein.com and love it.0 -
I'm a big fan f PHD Diet Whey. (In UK buy at holland and barrett or GNC)
It's yummy, packs a good protein punch and has slightly fewer calories per protein gram than other brands.
I looove the vanilla flavour in porridge0 -
There isn't a difference. Seriously.0

I'm new to the whole "protein shake" world. I thought as a woman I'd gain mass and didn't want that- I was wrong. So far my research has prevailed optimum nutrition whey- to be most "liked"..
Gonna try chocolate.
I hope it works as I want it too- right now I basically eat giant salads filled with everything but the kitchen sink! But not much variation- I work out almost 3 hrs daily. I'm not getting
Enough food- I'm a slow learner!
85 mins of workout is elliptical so it's not as intense as it seems- also doing insanity at night.
Hoping this added
Protein will help me get
More toned.0 -
whatever you decide, stay out of GNC
they are over priced. buy from Amazon or bodybuilding.com
avoid soy (IMO)
read the ingredients....know what they are and how much of each
fage greek yogurt, tuna, chicken, beef are my preferred protein sources but I will add in whey and casein powders
adding chocolate protein powder to plain fage yogurt then in the freezer for 20 minutes is a great protein packed treat
netrition.com and supplementwarehouse.com have good prices as well.
Eat the Bear is great, according to some of the stores locally, it's supposed to be the purest protein available. Is it? I don't know, but I love the taste, it doesn't have a lot of extra crap in it and the protein/cal ratio is good.0 -
I don't believe there is a protein powder just for women....well there are ones designed for women but they usually aren't any different or that great tasting (I had definity & sculptress from Maxitone, both tasted horrible and didn't mix well at all)
Just go for Optimum Nutrition or OneWhey0 -
You need to find something strong enough for a man but PH balanced for a woman
Is that so it won't make you bulky?
I recently took some protein that was PH balanced for a woman.
I grew breasts.0
