Recovery Formula how much do I use?

[spring103]

I was visiting the site of protein factory and was trying to figure out how much the "recovery formula" would cost me. Well it just says how much for one pound and not how many servings in one pound.....does anyone know?

The recovery formula requires 1 cup of powder per serving. I'm not sure how many servings per pound that comes out to, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

there are 453.6 grams in a pound. A serving of recovery formula is listed as 100 grams, therefor one pound of recovery formula is 4.5 servings.

IMO PF is a rip off when they sell dextrose and maltodextrin. You can find dextrose on the net for dirt cheap. I found mine at supplementdirect for $10 for 11 pounds. Just combine that w/ some whey and you'll be str8. Right now i'm experimenting w/ post workout shakes the one i'm using right now is as follows.

Shake 1: 50g dextrose w/ 50g whey.
Shake 2: Fruit juice w/ 25g whey and 25g cassein.

You have a 4 hour window of opportunity, take advantage of it and shuttle as much protein as you can in there in that time.

Where did you find your pure whey........at the Protein factory?

I buy my whey from either Protein factory or DPSnutrition. It's about the same price depending on what you get.

Think about this for a minute. Whey has lactoferrin, which aids in growth and isolates do not have this. Whey is 80% protein and isolate is close to 90% protein, why would you pay double the price for 10% more protein? And as far as the Dalton mix, which is theoretically faster than whey, whey is in your system in less than 20 min. isn't that fast enough already? And it lasts 2 hours. That's why i opt for 2 shakes, to cover the full 4 hour window.
