What protein brands do you use? And does it really matter?

[TheseGains]

The question is basically the title.

I take 100% gold, My decision has been influenced by the marketing of it, considering it has bcaas and other things that other proteins do not offer...

The thing is that this protein brand is getting a little to expensive, so im looking for alternatives.

Ummmmmmm......

All complete sources of protein have BCAA's in it. A whole protein source like any whey protein powder will have around 25-30% BCAA content.

I like ON but it's expensive. I get whatever is cheap for a 10lb bag. In 10lbs bags I've used TrueNutrition, Protein Factory, costco (muscle milk I think) but a 7lb bag, and just ordered some NOW brand whey protein and fitness pro whey

Edit* instead of relying on the marketing of a brand, which is extremely subjected to bias, misdirection, outright lies, you could always research it on your own, ask yourself does it matter what they claim, and is what they claim accurate to begin with.

i usually never listen to adv, but this brand was heavily pushed, it was new and it climbed the latter quick so i assumed it had something good...
what do you think of Leanfit protein? this is what they are currently selling at costco.

I used to use ON Whey Gold Standard, it was great and all mixed great but the flavours didn't do much for me (quite bland and flat, really goes allright with some dextrose though). I am on the search for a decent tasting protein, I don't buy into all the hype I just look for a basic WPC/WPI that tastes allright. I don't buy into mass gainers, if I want I add dextrose to my post workout shake instead of paying through the nose to have it pre blended in a mass gainer. It also allows me to choose when I want the dextrose and to what ratio.

I burn through protein so fast I dont have time to care. I buy the cheapest most mg per scoop whey.

 

[BeastMaster]

Dymatize elite whey

I mean so long as it has the GMP stamp on it and is a reputable company I see no problem. Sometimes companies will purposely misrepresent nutritional info like saying more protein per scoop or something or give you a serving size of 1 scoop but needing 1.5scoops to get the stated nutrition. It should be fine brother.

i am using CSN because i got 25 lbs for 150$ !!! but i like dymatize and ON. dymatize has a blueberry muffin that is awesome. its like dessert.

For the last couple years I've only been using plain isolate whey, no sweetner, no nothing added... that way u know what ur getting and can build ur shake anyway u like it

I usually pick what my gut agrees with. Quite a few powders give me pretty bad gas but for some reason muscle milk agrees with me so I go with that unless I'm cutting. Stuff tastes great and when you add it to cottage cheese you get some sort of paste like substance that tastes like cheesecake..makes for a great dessert lol. Looking into protein factory right now, heard good things and they have great selection, plus those vacuum sealed bags should be pretty travel friendly for a frequent flier like myself

the best protein on the market hands down is solid muscle. Highest quality on the market without going grass fed organic. And they have the best price in the world on 5 lbs whey isolate. It has no fillers and mixed smooth and docent make you feel bloated and full.

whatever you buy, you will get the best deal online and pick something that tastes half decent because you will be drinking it everyday for the next 20 years probably

I have been using Tru-tein. I love the Cinnamon flavored one. It is a mixture of Whey,Casein and Egg protein. It mixes well and tastes great. In the morning I have two scoops with 1 cup raw oats mixed in and water and I look forward to it every day. I just picked up Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and it tastes pretty good as well.

I know people don't like muscletech. but their whey is the only one that doesn't give me gastrointerestal problems.

 

[DrHouse]

Cellucor Whey is probably the best tasting I've had. Followed by Dymatize Elite Whey (the gourmet isn't very good).

If you'd like Cellucor, I can save you 20% and get you free shipping if you'd like. Just PM me.

 

[casperthefriendly]

I've been using Syntrax Matrix for the past several months. It's cheap and tastes great.

 

[Transporter]

ON Gold Standard here as well.
