i paid 25 bucks for 2lbs flavorless whey protein, gnc brand.  that is much more expensive than i remembered. what do u guys think? hopefully the quality is good

Go to Costco. You get about 5-6 lbs, for around $28 .

is it good quality, a known brand? wal-mart has cheap protein, but i dont trust it at all.

or $25 i can get 20lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast.  This equates to 80 servings,  35.6 g protein each, 189 cals, 2g fat.  How many servings of protein powder do you get for that price?

where do u pay a buck a lb for boneles chicken breast?? i pay 79c/lb for a whole chicken and thats a really good rare deal. porterhouse steaks are 5.49/lb right now at my store

and the whey is for post workout. chicken is not ad good post workout

[HTexan]

3.5 oz chicken breast has 30 grams of protein.
20 pounds = 320 ounces
320 / 3.5 = 91.4285714 x 30= 2 742.85714
So there is 2742.86 grams of protein in 20 lbs of chicken breast.
H.E.B sell CB at 3.99 a lb.
so $80 bucks + taxes gives you 27423 grams of protein?
someone check my math

gnc whey protein has 5440 for 20 lbs at 19.00 on website without gold card.
97.55 + taxes to get the same amount of protein
75 bucks + taxes if you used the gold card tho.

I put whey in a shaker with 5g glutamine, 5g creatine, and 80g dextrose in my gym bag.  After I lift but before cardio I drink this with 32oz water and take 8-10 units of Novolog.

Whole food is always better for your metabolism but after workout you want faster digesting protein

[TBUNZEE]

flavourless protein that sounds totally brutal...you def. got ripped off buddy as you could have gotten a better protein blend than GNC brand and also some damn flavour, lol...

[Mobil]

powder protien= fake... tuna costs .89cents a can... thats over 20g of protein and real... keep drinking that snake oil and get fu(ked....

[TBUNZEE]

yeah eat multiple cans of tuna everyday smell like a fish and carry a can opener with you and risk mercury buildup...ill take my chocolate flavoured protien powder thanks...and no I dont think powder is better than whole foods

then why do pros not take it.. unless asked by magazines or on dvd videos??

[TBUNZEE]

So your suggesting that pros do not ever take a protein shake after a workout?  Or when they are rushed between a meal?  Yes I know its overhyped but your out to lunch if you think they dont use protein powder at all case closed Mobil

Yep. Usually EAS. Sometimes it's a different kind (can't think of the name, but it's a good whey as well).

25 bucks for 2 pounds is actually cheap, specially at GNC!
whey is getting way too expensive

[ASJChaotic]

In 2008, protein prices went through the roof due to a shortage of protein and more demand in Asian countries.  However, prices started to stabalize last September or so, and now, some companies are starting to lower their protein prices just a bit.

$24.99 for a 2lb jub is ok, depending on what kind of protein it is.  There are many type of protein out there, but use the Nutrition Board for that discussion.

shortage of protein? 

damn those "bodybuilders"

i guess u dont talk to alot of pros or top bbers... newb.. keep spending your money on shi+ . a olympian told me back in 2001 before he became big and now a olympian. told me himself he didnt take it.. hint hint.. around 2001 before he became a top famous pro, now dethroned. fda doesnt regulate supplements so they can put whatever claim they want on the bottle. congrats for blowing money on shi+. isnt there a class action lawsuit on bsn for false claims??
