I am sure this thread is done often here but this is my first time poking my head in here. I am just about out of my current stock of powder and was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions for what to get next?

I just get Kaizen from Costco. Taste good, mixes well, 150 calories for 35 grams and about $40 for a giant tub.

Trutein. All day, every day. Pricey, but it's worth it as it's an actual quality blend of proteins, and as an added benefit the taste is mmm-fucking-mmm.

Dymatize elite gourmet is my staple protein. Myofusion is awesome too but pricier.

I'm using this one, tastes pretty good and mixes well. 140 calories and 27g of protein.

I have a scoop in the morning mixed with hot oatmeal and cinnamon sprinkled on top, shit is fucking delicious and then one scoop post workout with a teaspoon of cocoa powder to cut down on the sweetness of it.

I'd be curious to try the Truetin stuff but I literally just bought another bag of this stuff from Costco last night. I never remember to order ahead and then I run out and just run to Costco for more.
The Truetin stuff has the same amount of protein but only 115 calories, so for the same 140 calories of the stuff I'm having now, I could get getting 33g of protein from Truetin...or use the calories on some other food.

I ordered samples from Trutein on January 18th and they have yet to arrive. Contacted them on the 25th and dude said they were to ship out that day because they have been busy.

No cinnabun for home.

I really like the BodyTech Pro Tech 24 from Vitamin Shoppe. High quality isolate with a good taste and mixability.

I don't want the fitness police to attack me but if truetein is pricier than some orthe brands listed I'd spend my money elsewhere. I just don't think there is a lot o benefit to getting ultrapuremicrofiltered100percentorganicditriplepeptide protein versus something like Dymatize which is produced in house at a certified facility.

Just sayin. I am sure truetein is great.

There aren't many big name proteins I haven't tried. Muscle milk and syntha 6 are great but calorie sense. Like I said before, for me Dymatize is the best option based on Value and quality. If I had ob1 money I'd buy mulch soon exclusively.

On is watery and mixes shitty. Prolab is pretty good stuff. Universal makes decent protein but it mixes a little crummy too. LG science makes a pea based protein that tastes a tiny bit wierd but is still good and mixes good. If you want to avoid meat based stuff that's an option.

EAS is okay, a decent value in the big.box stores.

I haven't used any powder yet. I like real food too much. Maybe when I get to the point where Val is and I up my caloric intake to maintain and build muscle, I'll use shakes as a meal replacement.

But fifty bones for some powder? I can handle it, but I'm too practical.

He did respond almost instantly to my email and apologized. As long as it gets here today or Monday I'll be fine with it.

I agree that there is probably almost zero benefit from buying expensive protein, but Trutein was recommended by a few FF posters so it's worth a try. I have been buying ON for years.

Reminds me a little of the hype from ultimate, another boutique company producing an ultraavailablesuperscrumdibbliumptious but ver pricey preworkout. Tons of people swear by it but I am not one to waste money when sufficient alternatives are available for way less.

Tangent over!

Crossfit looks like fun. Not enough for me to spend my own money on it, but I get it.

Brotein just came in the mail today. I have six samples to try, so I'll be super yoked by next week.

I don't like it because of the "tech" in it. It just tastes awesome and has super-low calories.

Ever try Dymatize Elite Whey Isolate? Under $40 for 5lbs, 114 cal and 24g protein - looks like a winner.

I've always used isopure, too much extra shit in everyones protein powders, muscle milk is probably the worst shit you could put in your body lol. Tastes amazing though.

Muscle milk is too fatty and very low in protein per scoop. It's tasty though and a good way for the masses to get into protein consumption.

i never bought into the whole muscle milk craze... the macro percentages are way off, ESPECIALLY for after your workouts... at least that's how it was years ago... i don't WANT or NEED 12-15g fat immediately following my workouts... i want that anabolic uptake that happens 30-60 minutes after training and all that fat only slows down uptake up carbs and protein...

EDIT: i just looked at their site and it seems that it's still 14g fat per 2 scoops which is the recommended serving size... LAME... 7g of saturated fats...? YAY...
