Protein question

[jbruno]

I'm thinking of getting some protein powder from the proteinfactory.com

How does this sound?

ION EXCHANGE WHEY ISOLATE for pre and post workout (vanilla)

AND EITHER

Milk Protein Isolate OR CALCIUM CASEINATE PROTEIN (vanilla) for other times during the day and before bed.

Has anyone tried these? How were they? Did they mix well? Taste Decent? Provide Results?

Your thoughts are appreciated.

In my expirience, MPI and Casein dont mix well without emulsifiers. Also, Micellar has proven to spend the longest time in the gut.

I have some of the calcium caseinate and it does not taste very good and when mixed with water ends up being sort of like drinking sandy water. I do not mind that much, I just take it down as quick as I can. If you can deal with the taste and sandy like feeling it is ok. Next time I will order the other casinate protein.

pre and post workouts cfm and/or isolate is best!

any other time of the day and bedtime, i'd stick with milk/egg/cassein.
but make sure to eat your meals as usual.

Thanks for the input.

I think I'm going to order CFM Whey Isolate for pre and post workout and Milk Protein Isolate for other times during the day.

good choice.

One last quick question:

I'm going to get both of these proteins w/vanilla flavoring. The proteinfactory.com also allows one to add a sweetener to the flavors. Does anyone know if vanilla also needs to be sweetened?

I really only want a light vanilla tasting drink so if a sweetener is not necessary, I don't want it.

Thanks,

never tried protien factory but i'd personally stay away from sweeteners. they may make the drink better tasting but surely they're not too healthy.
