Author Topic: Whey protein rip off (Read 4335 times)

liquid_c · « **on:** February 19, 2016, 10:01:57 AM »

Just talking to a friend last night who works for Optimum Nutrition. He let me know that while the "industry" isn't really talking about it, wholesale whey prices have dropped a buttload after rising for a long period of time. You can buy WPC80 for about $1.50/lb if you buy by the truck. WPI90 is just a small amount more. They were very quick to raise the prices through the roof when Whey prices skyrocketed but don't expect them to lower them much any time soon or to talk about it. Guess it goes along with airlines not lowering prices despite huge drops in fuel cost.

That sooo describes them perfectly. They really seem to feel they're vastly superior and elite by eating nothing but whole foods.

Bah, fuck em...

Protein powder has been giving me stomach problems lately, it's been a few weeks and there's no negative change without it. I don't think I need it.

Haha thought the same thing.

One of the few things I wish would spread from gh15 is the adamant disregard for supplements.

Unfortunately, people still poison their bodies with this garbage and get no results. If you poison yourself with anabolics at least you get something to show for it.

Never understood the "eat real food" argument. Talk about bro science bullshit. No one is saying only drink whey protein shakes. No one is saying whey protein shakes are superior. However they make a good quick ultra easy to prepare quick protein and or carb meal if you add carbs in if you are in a hurry to supplement your "real food."

People seem to think your body sits there, looks at the whey and says, I can't use this shit because it isn't real food. Your body will process the protein, carbs, and fat in it just like any of the real food you eat.

I often wonder how people fall for the one whey protein is better than the other when they buy their whey in bulk from the same source.

Mothballs · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2016, 07:32:07 PM »

hahaha, look at these bigtime powerful guys on here talking about protein powder. I wonder how many of you mix it with your oatmeal in the morning.

Whey protein. Lol. The butter and cheese makes found the most gullible bunch of fools in bodybuilders to buy the run off liquid they used to flush down the drain. Ironic that optimum is owned by the Irish butter maker. So their cost for whey is zero fucking dollars.

Track your macros for just one week. Weigh and write down every single thing.

See how much protein you get... you'll probably be surprised to see it's higher than you think, especially if you tend to stay away from processed foods.

For me it's a time thing. I have a bucket of grilled chicken in my fridge. The time to kill a protein shake is like 5 seconds. The time to choke down a chicken breast is more like 5 minutes...and the fucking dogs are always hanging around like a bunch of Mafiosi looking for their "cut"

It's convenient and one of the best protein sources out there plus many of us don't feel like spending half the day chewing on shit. I'm not going to be one of those pudwhackers eating out of Tupperware every 3 hours.
