I buy Show me the Whey vanilla protien powder from the co-op in bulk. Does anyone know how much "one scoop" is measured? I've just been assuming it is 1 tablespoon. Is that right?

There should be a scoop inside it, if not weigh it compared to the serving size. Based on mine, it is probably 3 TBL but just a guess0

you will prob find a scoop buried in your powder.. give it a shake.3
-
The nutritional info should tell you how many grams are in 1 scoop... probably 30 - 36'ish grams. I always weigh mine to be accurate.3

If you're buying it in bulk, it probably doesn't come with a scoop. Is that right? Check out the website maybe?

^^this.
I use the CareOne stuff and it's 28g/serving. Regardless, a cheapo digital scale is absolutely essential for MFPers in my humble opinion. You can get them for about 8 bucks on the interwebs.1 -
A scoop is usually about 1/3 of a cup, I believe. The few gram difference between that volume just depends on the powder and is really negligible in the end1

For my brand it's 1/3 cup. Sounds like it varies a good bit and checking with the manufacturer would be the way to go.0

The nutrition label says a scoop is 21.5 grams. I'd measure that out on a food scale .1

I weigh it. It's 30.4g / scoop for mine.1

Not at all. With the brand I use, it's around 1/2 cup. Buying it in bulk, do you mean from a bulk bin, or buying a big container? If not in a container, you won't have a scoop, so I'd look up the serving size here. Mine gives it in grams (36), or scoop. If you have a food scale, you can figure it that way (grams/serving). If you bought a container, there is a scoop in there.0 -
My vanilla powder is 21.5 grams per serving.
Buying bulk is awesome! It does make things like this difficult though0 -
Mine is 1/3 cup0

There should be a scoop inside.. I get herbalife and I always find the scoop right in the middle about halfway down!
I keep a scoop from a previous container until I can find it. Maybe turn it upside down and shake???
I know I got the kids Herbalife and it said to use 2 tablespoons for theirs... it seemed to be about the same as a scoop.
***I just measured my herbalife cafe latte --the scoop which came with the container took 1.5 TBS packed and leveled. It takes two scoops for a serving and a serving is 26.1 grams. So to get 26.2 grams it would be 3 TBS.
The kids is 23 grams for 2 TBS... sounds so very unconsistant -- must be because they have different ingredients and different volume weights... so I would do 2 or 3 TBS personally... depends on how much I liked the taste.
Can't go wrong with a little extra protein but it won't hurt to have less intake if it tastes better.
Once you find your scoop you can do the measurements to see how off you were and you can go back and change your intake logs.
Good Luck! And I hope you find your scoop soon!!
(My Aria and Biggest Loser proteins say scoop for the measurement and they have scoops inside)0 -
I always follow the nutritional content guide and measure in grams on my kitchen scale... Some heaping measures can add up considerably. I weigh to be sure, pre- measure, and put them into small cups so I I have a weeks worth ready to go:)0

The kind on my package is 34g. I use trutein. And interestingly, a 'scoop' of it seems to come in a little shy of that. So I always just weigh it out.
There's definitely a variance between brands.
It looks like for your brand a scoop could be around 24g

And 1TB would likely be only about half to 1/3 of a scoop... unless it's a really HEAPING one.0 -

Sorry, ISOLATE is almost always 1/3 cup, or 35-40g. Why you would buy anything else is a whole other question lol0 -

WEIGH YOUR PROTEIN POWDER.
I cannot stress this enough. I weigh mine every time I mix it and a scoop is never exactly a scoop. Unless you've packed it down completely (and who does that?) you're going to get a different amount of powder every time you mix.
When I get a level scoop of protein powder that's supposed to equal 28g, it usually ends up weighing about 23g. If I just went by the "one scoop" measure, I'd be shorting myself about 25% of the protein!
Weigh it! It takes two seconds!2 -
Buying in "bulk" also known as going to a store like the "bulk barn" and scooping from a bin of protein powder that is "closed" to air until you open to scoop it in there won't BE a scoop in your "bag" of loose packed bulk purchase. They don't hide the scoops in the bins, but at the bulk barn they DO have a "product card" that gives you nutritional info or some suggested uses / preparations and you'd have to go by the nutritional info for the particular one you're buying to find out how big your scoop is.1
