best MRP in terms of nutrition? (taste not important)

I agree with the Labrada of those above. Usually I get Biotest Grow and add fiber or whatever I want to it. It's quality and tastes as good as anything else, no aspartame, and it's cheap since they started selling it direct. I just tried ABB MRP Force chocolate today (surprised they made one) and it tastes not quite as good but still ok, and looks like it has a decent profile. It comes in a can like the Grow and costs about the same per serving. Compared to those mentioned above, it's probably closest to the Labrada as far as profile.

If you notice it also has corn syrup solids, which "suck" as well. Met Rx, if you remember, also caught a lot of flak for that because they had it in their formula as well, but it was still a good product designed to be low glycemic. Yes these are high glycemic (higher than table sugar on the glycemic index). The VPX and Prolab ads are very impressive and they are great products, and so is Labrada's (which is my favorite MRP). But realistically there is more to it than just the glycemic index rating of those individual ingredients alone. When combined with the protein and dietary fiber, the speed of absorption is slowed way down so it doesn't increase blood sugar and insulin levels as much as we might initially think. Protein Factory allows you to create your own custom protein blend and they have a lot of interesting information, very informative, about the different ingredients such as maltodextrin that you can choose or not to include. What would be fascinating to know is how each MRP product would compare side-by-side as far as rate of absorbtion and how much they would actually trigger insulin release and raise blood sugar levels by comparison with each other. The Prolab's carbs may be slower digesting but there are more of them, while the ABB product might arguably have less desirable ingredients but has a higher protein to carb or fat ratio and twice the fiber so I'm thinking it should be fine unless perhaps you are precontest and your strategy does not allow for MRP's. EAS's new formula myoplex deluxe is also in this "whole food" MRP category. I just wouldn't take any of these products close to bedtime though because I cut out carbs in the evening.

How do you guys feel about Myoplex---Is it junk? I work til 1:00am. I usually eat a myoplex at like 11:45pm then eat cottage cheese with almonds when I get home before bed. Is this cool or should I try and get the myoplex in earlier and replace the 11:45 shake with say chicken and broccoli?
