Protein Poweder

A little high, yes.


Try the isolate protein forms, much lower in carbs/sugars.

I buy Isolate whey proteine that has 0 carbs, 27 g protein and 108 calories.
Sounds like the one you bought is aimed at pre-workout shakes.

Whey isolates are too expensive and aren't really worth it unless you have lactose issues.

Next time you buy whey just check the label. Don't buy anything that is GNC branded. They suck. Some I recommend if you are trying to save some dollars:

Gaspari Myfosuion
Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard
MusclePharm Combat Powder

Mine is EAS Whey Isolate from Target (or any big box store I'd say) and it's pretty tasty! 23g protein, 3 carbs and 130 cals per scoop. I make it with water mostly (not too much or it's like chocolate water) and it's really easy to mix or blend with yogurt or milk and berries if you want to mix it up a bit!!!

Haven't tried any other brands yet, but my chiro sells one I may try that she says is good and has a little less protein but only like 80 cals... so we'll see!

ETA: Mine is about $20 for a 2 pound tub that lasts me a few weeks. Not at all expensive in my opinion.

Lol.

What is the name of your protein powder.
Where do you buy it.

That isn't a pure whey isolate, which is why it's cheaper. It's a blend of concentrates and isolate and this is quite common amongst most protein blends.

You keep taking your whey concentrate and keep following Matt Ogus bro.

Mirin' those progress pics too.

(not srs)

Good luck on your body fat loss goals for 2012.

Go on ...

I use North Coast Naturals whey protein powder (Iso-Whey, I think is the name on the container) in my smoothies. I mix a scoop of the powder with half a cup each of frozen berries, 2% milk and plain greek yogurt in the blender. The result is 21g carbs and 41g protein (and 3g fat, 4g fiber, 278cal).

thx for the suggestions, do you know where i can get them in canada? I heard lots of good things about the one from target, but sadly we don't have a target here

You're in luck. Head out to Costco and buy Lean Fit Whey, which is the cheapest whey you can buy in Canada. Mine has 25g of protein, 2g of fat, and 2g of carbs and it costs $19.99 for 2kg (4.4lbs). Great thing about this whey is that it's produced in a GMP certified facility and it is a mixture of ultrafiltered and cross-flow microfiltered whey.

I live in Canada and I exclusively buy this. I've done my research and you won't get anything that provides more grams of protein per dollar.

It's really up to you on what you want to go for but for fat loss, I would def recommend the isolate even if it's a bit more expensive (you just have to look for sales and buy in bulk).

lol you're such a bro. Are you on that Twin Muscle Workout time? Please go.

I use GNC - Pro Performance Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 Chocolate. It has 280 cals, 7 carbs
and 60 protein for 3 scoops.

A bit on the high price range, but the taste is pretty good! I add it as a snack after my work out.

You can find it at a GNC store near you or online. Sometimes the have "BOGO offers.

ok but what does it really taste like?

kk but what does it really taste like?

It's not too bad. I wouldn't get the vanilla. Buy a tub of chocolate and see. It's quite cheap in comparison to the other wheys out in Canada. It's much better with milk (what whey isn't?) but it's not too shabby with water. There are other wheys I prefer if you're doing it for taste.

Check out www.canadianprotein.com. They provide 3 samples of any of their whey for $1.99 and free shipping. They make the second cheapest whey in Canada and their taste is much better.

If you want to spend more then Myofusion by Gaspari is a good choice. The macronutrients aren't as good on it, though.

Guess I will have to go check out costco, seems cheaper.

It's much, much cheaper. Don't hold your breath on the flavour, though. It doesn't taste awesome but it's decent enough that it doesn't really make anything else worth it considering the incredible price point. Canadianprotein.com does make something that tastes much, much better (you can order samples) and their 5lber is far cheaper than XPN and proteinco.Their 25lb bag ends up being cheaper than Leanfit but you have to buy 25lbs of whey.
