protein powder...which kind to use for teh leanest

[championofnight]

Ya im going out tomorrow to replenish the protein powder, which kind should i get?
im used to to a brand called pure protein, which is great, but...
any suggestions? this is the first time i get to decide which protein i get.

i suggest reading up on the different types of proteins first before you buy it. mainly because they have different release times...

whey, milk/soy, casein...

whey is absorbed into your body to quickest (about 30mins i think)
casein takes hours which is very good when you sleep.

there have been posts on this, so do a search, and it'll open your eyes as it does go into lots and lots and lots of detail

I have started using Metabolic Whey from MRM. I also like Cyogainer from Cytosport.

Optimum Nutrition 100% WHEY Protein. Since ive started using whey, thats been the brand I was referred to and so far ive been 100% pleased.

Just make sure you look at a few key things when shopping for supplelents:

1. Is it a reputable brand? No name vs. Big Name. If its a popular item, chances are its a tried and tested product that many consumers like.

2. Does it mix easily? Still have clumps in your drink after shaking it for 2 minutes? Time to find a new brand.

3. How does it taste? Face it, if you dont like what your taking, your not gunna take it for very long. Not much u can do about knowing how it tastes until you buy it so this takes me back to point #1.

4. Whats the cost? Is it going to break your bank? Shop around and find the best product for the best price. Usually shopping online provides cheaper products.....i recommend www.supplementscanada.com (if your a canuck).


These are the basic points to consider when shopping for a supplement thats designed to suit your needs.
Hope this helps.


P.S....Adonis...how does the MRM Metabolic Whey taste? Cost?
