Best protein?

[danasti]

I do my protein like this:

Morning - Optimum On 100% Gold Standard Whey with 2% milk.

I like the taste of optimum - it's cheap - it has some isolates and it has lactase and other digestive enzymes, no fructose/sugar. I've used rocky road, chocolate and vanilla - all very good - but beware of cookies and cream - it has fructose and the cookie part contains iron - although I assume it's trace amounts, but it's listed.

Eggs - lean meats - tuna/salmon throughout the day

Post Workout - Optimum On 100% Gold Standard Whey

Bedtime - Optimum 100% casein with 2% milk before bed - so hopefully the casein stays in the system throughout the night.

Anyway - I've tried a few caseins but Optimum for me tastes the best, disolves the best and has the most to offer while at my price point.

Have to agree here - ON tastes the best with good ratios, price is fairly good compared to others that taste like ass.

Optimum Nutrition gets my vote

www.bodybuilding.com is the cheapest "to your door" that I have found for anything.

what are your guys thoughts on Nito-Tech protein supplements...?

i had good results with this stuff 2 years ago when i was hitting it hard... i have a hard time drinking the stuff if it tastes like the crack of a fat womans ass after she chased down a burger... so taste is important to me...

Probably the real best is Beverly International Muscle Provider. Plus the taste is awesome, chocolate is outstanding.

They are not called the protein kings for nothing.

Assuming taste isn't an issue, then buying a commercial powder is just a waste of money. Magical "proprietary" blends are marketing BS and as long as your protein source is dairy or egg you're getting a "perfect" protein with a score 1.0 on the PCDAAS, which the generally accepted standard for protein quality. I prefer to purchase a bulk milk isolate and I've posted the reasons on multiple threads. If you go to the manufacturer you can get a high quality milk isolate for under $4.00 a pound.

www.trueprotein.com is an excellent place to buy bulk protein. You can customize your own blend for any reason you like...i.e...post workout, pre bed, etc. Quality, and decent flavorings.
