Protein2o?

60 calories for 15g of protein, comes in a bottle of flavored water. Have you tried it? Does this solve all of my protein needs once and for all?? (Mainly joking there, but it does seem like there should be a catch somewhere... )

    Is it a powder?

    Because for me, there's the catch.

    95g of skinless chicken breast = 76 calories and 20g protein.

    It's a flavored water. I don't eat meat, but I see what you mean.

    They say it's whey protein isolate. How they get it to be "water" and not "shake" consistency, I have no idea! It's on the expensive side for me, but I might try it out of curiosity.

    Nasty, chalky water. I don't remember what flavor I tried.

    Fair enough on the no meat thing.

    I just have a problem with super-processed supplement things. #1. They aren't regulated, so I have no idea if they even contain what the label says. #2. They cost a lot. #3. I'd rather eat food.

    I'm pretty sure if you will intake whey that you can hit your protein goals without a supplement. I don't trust them. Not to mention what quiksylver says. :lol:

    I'm currently drinking one, Harvest Grape. It is similar to Vitamin Water, sort of a chalky taste to it (as someone mentioned above) - for 15 grams of protein, it is totally worth the diminished taste :) I have one or two a week if my protein intake is low

    For me, the catch is it tastes gross.

    Does not look like anything special to me...has me believe this is marketing BS with this being less than a typical amount of protein for a whey product (usual 20-30g protein/serving) & hence trying to appear as "flavored water"
