Hey guys. I haven't had protein powder in over 15 years. There's so much out there that it can be overwhelming. I'm just looking for a very high-quality, good tasting powder I can use as meal replacement. Low to no carbs, low-sugar.
What's out there in 2024?
-
Eggs.
-
Wouldnt waste money on it
-
At least get the unflavoured one
-
Protein is a good option for a meal replacement, who doesn't like a good milkshake?
However, the shit has gone overboard on price.
There are deals out there though if not picky. I don't care if I get some sugar, or preservatives.
Some are health freaks and don't want that stuff... I just go for what I find on sale and cheapest.
Is just a matter of principle, I dont like over-paying for that stuff...
I just got 2 lbs of this stuff for $17.00. Again, Im not picky or a health nut, so sugar substitutes dont bother me for one drink a day.

I've stopped using whey because it messes up my stomach and I think gives a feeling of allergy as well, especially in eyes.
Only realised how bad it was making me feel after I stopped and noticed the difference.
Might consider vegan protein instead.

Using cheap whey powders will do that. I have zero stomach issues with Isopure.

For me, I think it's because it's made from milk.
I can't have regular milk without issues.

That’s cheating!

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.

whey is whey no difference they all use the same few bulk suppliers
you're not on a extreme strict diet so isolate is pointless

Mister Wiggs get yourself some old man protein.
-
Forget all the powders. I've tried too many including isopure. Go to Costco or BJ's and get Fairlife pre made protein bottles. 30 grams of protein of amazing tasting protein. Made by the company that makes lactose free milk products. Seriously there is no comparison to any fart powder. So many of these fart powders are sourced from the same middle man then they claim theirs is better than the competitor when it's the same crap.
I'm severely lactose intolerant. Protein powders aren't regulated and so I judged if they had lactose by the stomach upset I get. I think some lie about being lactose free. Fairlife protein has zero point zero stomach upset. It truly tastes like a gourmet milkshake. It's criminal that protein powders all claim to taste great when they taste like licking dead worms in your back yard and I won't mention the mixing problems if you don't use a blender.
Don't buy Fairlife off Amazon or another place because the prices are off the charts. The stuff is getting so popular that more than once I see gym owners and others going to BJ's to buy pallets of the stuff to sell at rip off prices in their gyms for a single bottle or putting it online at rip off prices.

The ON whey is the best.
Better to eat animal protein though.

I'm using Mutant stuff, "Leave Humanity Behind"

Kwon I've used the Star and Fairings a lot too but in recent years it seems like I can't tolerate any protein shakes. Vomit inducing immediately and then feeling slightly sick for 12 hours. One 50 gram shake and an hour later I have to drink a liter of water, I get very thirsty.

Just eat meat
Whey is actually a waste product
-
Good glutathione precursor. Would recommend anyone on the wrong side of 40 to incorporate it into their diet if they can tolerate it.
Plenty of great tasting shakes out there but best to go with unflavoured and add your own extras.

Here's my current set up.
Wake up 30 - 45 min. walk outside.
A couple hours later. 4 hard boiled eggs
Train
Later during the day, salmon, bison, beef or rotisserie chicken.
Mixed greens, bell peppers, cucumber, cabbage, homemade dressing, and I'll add an avocado if it's chicken.
Repeat for dinner.
I really don't want to add any more animals protein because I'm not hungry for it but need the extra protein because of the training I've been doing.
Thanks Deadz, I'll check out Isopure.
I'll check out those old man shakes as well Old-timer.
-
I get NutriCost from Amazon 1 tub of Whey Isolate and 1 tub of Micellar Casein mix 50/50 40-50grams per shake and i'm good. Prefer to only use it post workout or if im missing a meal. Ground Beef and White price is preferred grow food.
-
Right now I'm using Animal whey from amazon and some cheap stuff I got on clearance from BigLots. I also just put spoonfuls of powder into my mouth and then add water hahahaha

Beverly International. I rarely use protein powder so one tub lasts 3-4 months. And I use it mostly for making brownies / cookies to take on my long international flights. So I don’t eat crappy airline food.
That said, I have posted before the best protein drink is one cup liquid egg whites and 2 cups Fairlife chocolate milk. That is almost 50 grams protein and it tastes exactly like chocolate milk. Best of all, it is the best option cost wise.

PIP - read up on Fairlife and phthalates.
https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/the-plastic-chemicals-hiding-in-your-food-a7358224781/
"The findings on phthalates are particularly concerning: We found them in almost every food we tested, often at high levels. The levels did not depend on packaging type, and no one particular type of food—say, dairy products or prepared meals—was more likely than another to have them. For example, we found high levels in, among other products, Del Monte sliced peaches, Chicken of the Sea pink salmon, Fairlife Core Power high-protein chocolate milkshakes, Yoplait Original French vanilla low-fat yogurt, and several fast foods, including Wendy’s crispy chicken nuggets, a Chipotle chicken burrito, and a Burger King Whopper with cheese. Organic products were just as problematic: In fact, the highest phthalate levels we found were in a can of Annie’s Organic cheesy ravioli."

Vital Proteins. I'm very sensitive to the crap they add to protein powders but this stuff is perfect. Mixes very easily with water or milk.

Every company that sells almost anything these days has just gotten too freaking greedy.
I can afford to buy a lot of things that I no longer buy because of the greedy corporations involved.
If more people did that,they`d be forced to lower prices back to a more normal range.

Actually no. Many high level antibiotics these days absolutely were not created from something in nature. The abundance of next generation cyclic fluorine based compounds are a good example.

I absolutely do not understand what you are trying to say, lol. What the fuck does Crisco have to do with modern synthesized antibiotics? Next time you are in the hospital and the only thing that cures your infection is a manmade antibiotic you will be glad somebody studied modern organic chemistry.

Had another Fairlife today and all I thought about the entire time (5 seconds of chugging it) were the microplastics. I’ll be lucky to be alive on Memorial Day. God bless all of you.

Mister Wiggs get yourself some old man protein.
Does that mean it's perfect for me, as I just turned 51? ;D
Actually, I've used it before, especially since there is a local store where I can get a 4-pack of those shakes for $2.72. The taste is fairly good and it's the rough protein equivalent of a quart of milk at about a third of the volume.
The Atkins PLUS ones are great, too. I also get those (4-pack) for $2.52 from the same store.

"They" say it's hard to make a profit from protein powders nowadays, so it may not be greed exactly. You can buy the pure proteins that are used in the tubs, cheaper, from like Dante Doggcrapp etc, but most don't mind paying more for excellent taste.
-

What do you think is causing the stomach problems in cheap blends?
I can hardly tolerate ANY type of whey nowadays, like even unflavored pure whey bought at the pharmacy.
The Peptopro casein hydrolysate is better but I just can't get into the taste of most proteins nowadays.
