Protein shakes: pls advs.

[D-bol]

Ok, of my 13 years training I always kept away from protein shakes. Simply cuz i prefer more natural solid foods + I see most protein shakes got loads of rubbish in them (high carbs, sugars, etc)

Each year my commitments increase so it becomes harder and harder to eat 6 solid meals. And frankly, I must confess that I kinda am tired of 6 solid meals a day.

So am thinking of starting to use a shake for 3 meals and solids for three meals.

In that light, can u guys advise what is the cleanest, best quality product is there on the market?
I look for maximum possible protein content, least posible carbs and fats (zero if possible). I wanna mix em with cut fruit salad to make protein smoothies.

thnx

  I'm the same way regarding a protein without the garbage.  If you do not mind the price, Zero Carb by I believe VPX is the cleanest.  Has zero fat, and no sugar at all. ON whey by Optimum is the next best deal,  has 1 gram sugar and 3 grams of carbs per scoop.  It is less expensive, and should be just fine!  Mike

i agree ON's protein is fuckin excellent tastes great and has almost nothing else in it the whey and the casein both are pretty much pure protein.  and i also find it impossible to eat that many times a day so i usually do about 3 and 3 shakes to food....although the only shake i drink all by itself is the one between breakfast and lunch...good luck bro

Unless you're willing to spend twice the price for an isolate, which has all of the carbs and fat removed, something like ON is going to give you the best bang for your buck.  The trace amount of carbs and fat aren't going to make much of a difference.

Agreed.

I say spend the money on isolate because other non isolate powders are crap.

Good ones:

Pro Lab & Iso-Pure, both are pretty cheap when you buy it online and for the most part identical in content. In the store you'll pay about $50 for 2lbs...online about $20 for 2lbs

Best as far as content, and purity, Species...you will pay a good bit more for this but it is good, both in quality and taste.
