Whatever is the cheapest based on the ratio of price:protein per 100g. I don't care for name brands as some have ridiculous prices and low protein quality.

Most protein powder tastes horrible just with water. I tried some recently and it tasted very sugary and sweet. Mix it with milk, and it tastes more natural.

I mostly eat whole food, but keep protein powder around for when I don't have time for a full meal, which happens more often than I'd like.  I use that crap that Chris Mason is always pimping on here.

makes me gag everytime.
Maybe you have a secret you want to share with me? Do you smoke a cigar before hand or does it simply come down

Let me know, I'm eager to learn from the best.

I was using whatever they sell at Wal-Mart.  Recently, the taste is unbearable even for me.  They keep monkeying around with the formula and supposedly this time they added more amino acids.  that is great but if it taste so nasty (and I mean for me to say nasty it has to be horrible to the average joe) I can't drink it then it does me no good

I suppose you use water? PP becomes a lot more bareable for me if I use milk, problem for me of course is that I cannot
have milk if I'm dieting. :/

You are right about the milk making it taste better.  But better in this case is still like dirt in milk haha

Nothing to brag about, I have enough muscles that people ask me for advice (office folks let's not get the idea that muscleheads ask me ;) ) but not big enough to be confused to juice by any means what so ever.
Average lifter with no talent what so ever to lift heavy.
How about yourself?

but water makes me gag so bad, especialy since my retarded ass forgets about to clean the friggen thing from  time to time,
So i need to ask for new once or wash it and live with the smell for a while... you cannot simply get rid of the smell.

5'11" 225 34 inch waist, just wondering about you because you seem to bitch alot about bb.

Let's get one thing clear here,

I LOVE this sport, my biggest hero in life in general is Arnold, I go to all the irish BB shows even if they by most standarts crap, I love to train, I love to be as hard with myself as possible, bb gives me a general focus in life beside my work and relationship, I believe BB has made me a better person.
If i ever bitch (as you said yourself) about this sport than only about the rampand steroid use, and I will not change my mind when i say i personaly believe the unability for certain people to clamp down on certain drug abusing Pro's is hurting my beloved sport.

Ultimate Nutrition Iso-Sensation 93. 93% isolate protein with the whole bunch of amino acids. Tastes like shit but works for me. I'll eat a couple of fruits with it to be sure the 'slin gets a boost.

nope not exactly. no matter how much meat you eat, youll never get the same concentration of amino acids in your blood stream as youll get from drinking one whey protein shake.   the digestion rates are completely different.

maybe for some of you guys, 5-15 grams per hour is sufficient (about the rate at which meat digests)...but some of us have the capabiliy to utilize 40 grams of protein within one hour...    ;D

dont hate

I've used protein powders for years and they're an excellenct supplement when whole food can't be eaten.   Every morning at work it's skim milk and protein powder.   They're only a waste of money if you have the time to eat regular food each day.....I do not.   And don't give me that "if you cared enough you'd make the time" horseshit.  It's a convenient, inexpensive, low-carb, low-cal, decent tasting alternative to regular protein sources.

Exact same thing. I don't advocate huge amounts of protein. I get about 1,5 to max 2 grams per kilo per day. That's about 150 grams of protein/day. Even with three good meals, i don't get that much so I just throw in a couple of shakes (30 grams per serving). Food is still better.

Granted buying Protein Powder might not be the most pleasant way of parting with your money but it should hardly become a critical
spending decision.

AlltheWhey CinnaBun Isolate

Perhaps the best tasting protein I've ever tried. Sweet but subtle.  I've gone through 10lbs have 4-6 scoops daily and I'm still not sick of it.  That is really saying something.  With the discount codes, 5lbs for $35.

Agreed.

I don't use a lot of protein powder anymore (maybe two or three times a week). That being said I've got a coupel pounds of trueprotein's Gemma Protein powder in my kitchen.

I like Ultimate Muscle Protein and Muscle Provider

Both are from Beverly and I've bought enough in the past that they offered me the wholesale price

usually have 1 of each on most days but I'd prefer to eat real food.

I get canned tuna from these guys:

I only drink them after workouts. I used to be one of those guys that drank like 4 a day. Stopped all that nonsense, and guess what, my muscles didn't shrink. You don't need all that protein, the only thing I've noticed since I quit drinking them,is a much more consistent long tapered turd. No more of those stringy toothepaste poos for me ;D
