Protein Powders

[Peace Division]

Why do they have taste so bad? I just picked up a 5-pounder of Ultimate Nutrition's Prostar Whey and it's baaaaddddd!! Optimum Nutrtion's Whey is barely any better, and I've tried Isopure's Whey and that tastes like salty sand. EAS's Simply Whey was o.k. and Designer Whey was probably the worst, I threw it out after the first taste. The only one that tastes good is Biotest's Grow, but the price is up there. 2.2 pounds for $23.00. For someone on a budget, that gets pricey. End of rant.

Now on to the question. What protein powders have you tried that tasted good, was low in carbs and fat, and was inexpensive? Thanks for any and all comments.

How much protein do get from powder in a day?

 

[Snowblind]

Kal-El,

I get in close to 500 grams per day.....usually a bit lower on the weekends. I get about half of that from my powder, and the other half is food.

And yes....I do go through alot of protein powder.....that's why I buy it 50 lbs at a time.

 

[Kal-El]

Snowblind,

Thanks. What food sources do you depend on to get your protein?

 

[novicebb]

How about supplementdirect.com? Anyone has tried them at all?

 

[Snowblind]

Snowblind,

Thanks. What food sources do you depend on to get your protein?

Sorry, should have replied earlier......anyway.......I get my protein from:


Ground beef (drained)--2 lbs per day except weekends.
Chicken breasts


That's it......I follow a very basic and boring nutritional plan because it's just easier for me.

I also alternate pro/carb meals and pro/fat meals.....with a carb cutoff at right around 6-7pm........hope that helped.

I don't know how you can say that about optimum whey protein, you mix it with milk and it tastes like chocolate milk.
