    ^ Gold Standard whey

    Regarded by many as a top notch product. available on amazon or GNC

    Or at Costco, where I buy it. I like because it's a fine powder that isn't gritty, doesn't develop a weird texture when heated, and has about the most protein for the least amount of calories.

    Optimum nutrition Gold Standard Whey is on sale at 24 hour fitness for 1 more week at 49.99 for the 5 pound tub. It meets your requirements. Or find it online. I have used a ton of different protein powders and it is my favorite by far. It mixes very well with milk or in your case water. The 5 pound tub has 77 servings at 24 grams of protein per scoop. So it is less that $1 per scoop. You don't need a supplement, but I prefer to drink one right after a workout. It makes getting my required protein requirements pretty simple and allows for a bit more flexibility in the rest of the days eating.

    What are you saying No to. Can you clarify? I take Isopure and I'm curious what was in the post that made you say No to. Was it Recommendation to "Isopure"?

    Isopure protein is good- I'm thinking it was a no to all the other claims in the post. That's at least why I said no.

    Along with Boston University, Dr jakubowics, Illinois University all agreed that whey improves insulin response, up shifts metabolism,lower cholesteral, fewer body aches, clearer skin, and deeper sleep. Again, just responding with knowledge from what I read in an article about whey protien and passing it on. People should not take this site as medical advice or the holy grail. Please get a doctors advise on any and all before your journey with weight loss.

    Trutein offers samples for 1.99 plus free shipping. I am currently trying the samples because I hate spending $20-30 to find out I hate the flavor.

    I agree with samples. I have about 20lbs of protein powder right now, and at least half of it I'm not a huge fan of. Learn from my mistakes; look for samples...

    My SO and I are both on the keto diet. We are both using Dymatize Nutrition Iso-100 hydrolized whey protein isolate. I love the chocolate because I can add fats to it and make a delicious "chocolate shake" for those days when I just can't stomach any more solid foods. I'm also coming off of 26 years without eating any meat apart from seafood, so I'm sure that has something to do with the "sick of chewing" thing (part of the reason I dropped most meats in the first place).

    The Iso-100 whey is super low in carbs because it's sweetened with sucralose (chocolate) and sucralose + stevia (vanilla). There are other flavours, but I'm a chocoholic. My SO uses the vanilla.

    My SO lifts heavy.
    I lift 10 lb dumbbells.

    Hi

    Can anyone offer advice about Whey powder?

    I'm looking to find one that is low fat, with <5g of carbs & between 15-20g of protein per serving

    I've checked out a few online brands and they have loads of sugar or fat in them, I'm not looking to bulk out just supplement a meal.

    Any shouts let me know & ideally something that tastes nice

    Thanks in advance

    Protein World slenderblend is really good! It's 146 cals, 2g carb, 2g fat and about 18 protein I think! The banana and strawberry flavours are lush!

    Hi, I'm planning to use it to supplement my protein intake. I do eat a balanced diet with lots of veg, so I'm looking for a protein shake to start my day & metabolism off. I'm eating small meals very 3 hrs so it's just a quick meal

    A balanced diet contains enough protein?
    Your metabolism doesn't shut down?
    Meal timing is... huh?

    Matrix nutrition (anabolic gold) is the best protein I've ever used, you can have half a scoop if you're conscious of calories and still get 20g of protein. And chocolate mint tastes insanely good!!

    I use the Dymatize ISO-100. It's a hydrolyzed whey protein so it's broken down to the bare basics. The birthday cake flavor is awesome with milk. And if any flavor is too sweet, I just add some kale in the blender.

    I like atkins advantage shakes available at Wal-Mart Mart and some chain drug stores. Taste good to me. Especially the cafe caramel flavor. Is 11 oz. with 15gm protein, 160 calories and 4 total carbs.

    I'm using as scoop of Vanilla Isopure Protein powder in non-fat yogurt with fish oil swirl, cocao or berries. Or in sugar free silk milk with shredded wheat or Uncle Sams cereal. It's 105 calories, no carbs and 25 grams of protein. Best reason - it tastes good. I'm avoiding added sugars and this stuff absolutely satisfies. My wife doesn't care for it much.

    Don't need it if you're reaching you daily protein goals. If not, look at Optimum Nutrition's 100% Gold Standard Whey.

    Just for the record... there are men on this web site also. I am not trying to argue with you I simply asked you to back up your claim. That's how it works. I work in the medical field. If I gave a presentation at work and told people to do their own research I would get laughed at.

    And for the record, since I had a couple of minutes, I googled your claim. Not one peer reviewed study came up... interesting.
