if i was you i'd only take it on lifting days RIGHT AFTER you workout. Especially since you are tight on cash like myself, you shouldn't be taking it on off days.
Same here on all counts. I upped it to 1.5 from 1 scoop... ~22g just doesn't seem like enough PWO. Other times and off days I just get my protein from food, although I do like to take it after I wake up sometimes to get some fast acting protein in my system.
I got a 6lb. tub of EAS whey from Sam's Club. I compared it w/my roommate's Optimum Nutrition whey. They're both at 120 cals (actually EAS lists 120 GRAMS of calories, haha), w/24g prot, 3g carbs, 1g fat for ON, and 22g prot, 4 g carbs, 2g fat for EAS. A lot of people think ON is great quality whey, but at $5.20/lb. ($26/5 lbs. from bulknutrition.com, shipping extra... and fucking $46 from ON's own store) v. $3.34/lb. I'll stick w/the EAS and sprinkle a little extra on top
I would also like to mention that I picked up a box of EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Bars (chocolate PB) for $15/dozen, and they're great! Only 2g of sugar while providing 23g of a nice blend of proteins of varying absorption (whey, casein, caseinate, soy, milk) @ 210 cals. Invaluable as a meal replacement on really busy days (especially while cutting), and the best tasting low-carb protein bar I've had!
BTW, LOVE the avatar ellinghad! Man seh! Haha
