Recommend me some protein

[thomez]

I just recently finished my bag of ON Whey in Chocolate which I liked a lot.

Normally I am taking a protein shake twice a day when working out - once as a part of my breakfast and once about a half hour post-workout when I get home from the gym. I

'm sure my PWO shake should be whey, so I'll probably buy some ON chocolate again for that purpose, but my question is what kind of protein should I be taking in the morning? Would I be better off taking casein, something like Muscle Milk, with my breakfast, or just whey?

Also there are rare occasions when I'm hungry but don't want to sit down and eat yet, sometimes I'll have a shake then as well but not often.

Any brand of proteins specifically recommended other than these two? Any hot deals on protein going on right now that I should know about? :o

Thanks brolys :bigthumb:

I just get the cheapest stuff I can find, especially since the price hike a year or two ago. Probably about $35 after shipping is the best you can usually do for 5lbs now days. If I had the money I'd consider buying in bulk from a protein specialty site like proteinfactory.com or the like MIGHT be cheaper.

It probably doesn't really matter much what kind of protein you take in the morning. Casein would probably be a good choice to take any other time besides pre or post workout though.

I bought 2 5 lbers for 60...it was buy one get one free. It's preemo shit.

[thomez]

I bought 5lbs of ON whey and 2.5lbs of Muscle Milk from Amazon, should be here... I would guess early next week. The free shipping is kinda slow.

[Dr. Petar]

whatever is cheapest. Protein is protein.

[Bisquick Mehoff]

just check the ingredients. make sure it says whey protein isolate before it says whey protein concentrate, if it says concentrate at all. basically, protein concentrate is garbage. also, you should take a whey protein shake pre workout, and take casein, or a shake with casein in it, like syntha 6 or some muscle milk post workout, as it will feed your muscles longer. for just throughout the day, i would recommend just a regular whey protein. id even suggest taking a casein shake right before bed as well.

not true. protein isolate > concentrate. concentrate is garbage.

I've tried several different brands, but I keep coming back to ON. I have a tub of the Extreme Chocolate and Banana Cream, and haven't found anything I like better.

ON is really good quality stuff.

[Agent Orange]

Yeah, the best I've tried. I used to use the GNC brand years ago, and the vanilla flavor was pretty good. Not as good as ON, though.

I got a free sample of Nectar's Apple Ecstasy flavor with my last order from Nutraplanet, and didn't care for it at all. But, I also don't care for Muscle Milk, and everyone seems to love that stuff.

I've tried various brands and I always come back to ON.

TS can try Met-RX casein blend, it is pretty good tasting in most flavors, all though its a little pricey.

[apex32]

+1 for ON's.

I just recently bought cookies and cream muscle milk.

you gotta look for deals, bro. I used my friend's OT account just for the F&N deals.

I got 20 pounds of ON whey for $120 shipped. when you see deals like that you gotta buy all you can.

[thomez]

I can only get about 15-17lbs for that

I really love the taste of the Muscle Milk but I think I'm going to try the ON 100% Casein on my next order, much less calories.

[Icedtea]

1 scoop of Cytogainer + 1 scoop Cyto Whey

[thomez]

Cytogainer has too many calories for my goals

[Icedtea]

Cytogainer has too many calories for my goals

one scoop of each is only 230 calories

edit: and compare that to 300 calories for 2 scoops of muscle milk

[thomez]

ya I never used the 2 full scoops of Muscle Milk, too many cals - that's why I buying ON Casein next time

[tryfuhl]

I really love the taste of the Muscle Milk but I think I'm going to try the ON 100% Casein on my next order, much less calories.
much different composition

[uab0b]

Dymatize Elite is probably the best tasting cheap protein out there. Better than ON by FAR.

[Disgustipated]

I got a 6 lb of EAS chocolate whey for about 25 bucks from BJ's. Mix it in with apple cinnamon oatmeal in the morning if FTW

[Gorilla]

I also use the ON. Also just ran out of chocolate and drinking wife's tropical punch now. Need to get to the store!!! My friend is a personal trainer, and told me ON was good, but he thinks AST is the best. Of course, no body sells that around here, and I can't wait for his ass to get me some.

I think I pay $28 for 5 lb of ON at the Vitamin Store.

[thomez]

I don't know if I've ever heard of or seen AST
