Is Gold Standard really the best whey brotein or is it just a meme/shilling?
>>
It's not too expensive.
It's backed by most reputable sources.
It tastes and mixes great.

The holy trinity.
>>
>>39013258
It has a good protein:scoop:serving ratio and the cookes+cream flavour is glorious.

It's like 40g per serving, 1 serving = 1 scoop

I once bought another brand because it stated 50g of protein per serving. Got home, read the rest of the label. 1 serving = 4 scoops.

it literally says on the container that it's 24g per serving
>>
>>39013264

it is probably one of the more expensive whey isolates out there, dude

OP it's popular. that's it.

i guess it's also not amino spiked but you can easily find non-spiked whey for less money.
>>
>>39013378
ON is, what, $60 for 5lbs, $12 a pound? A little pricey, but hardly expensive.

Myprotein is cheap, but it's also less brotein per serving and the flavors are a russian roulette of quality. So far haven't found any that aren't grimace-worthy.

So it does. Thanks for correcting me, friend. It's how we learn.

I was probably thinking ~40 because I normally take 2 scoops.
>>
>>39013398
Thats really too bad for you. i got 10lbs of protein, 5 lbs of cookis and cream and 5 lbs of chocolate banana, both great in the taste department, for $50 on myprotein. Guess we can't all enjoy these good things.
>>
>>39013436
How the hell did you get 5lbs of something off my protein? They only sell in kilos. Also, $50 for both? I call bs.
>>
>>39013258
it is just popular, the protein ratio vs total weight isnt that bad, but paying 14 per pound vs other sources in the sticky that have more ratio per weight, Im not wasting my money on this

check TrueProtein, it has 90% protein per weight, ON has like 70%
>>
>>39013398

target sells a muscletech brand (phase 8 protein, contains whey egg and casein) for $25/2.5 lbs and it tastes amazing.

meanwhile ONGS tastes kinda synthetic.
>>
I'm wondering about the serving size of the gold standard whey protein and I'm thinking that a full scoop of it is about 30g of protein. There's a marker a quarter of your pinky finger down from the top of the scooper that marks the serving size, so a full scoop should be more than the 24g, right?
>>
>>39013258
It's nothing special, it just tastes really good and so you actually want to have shakes throughout the day
Plenty of better stuff on the market
>>
what kind of shitty diets and how much protein do you guys need so that you have to buy powder?

i eat 3500 calories and around 170g of protein and i have no issues of hitting my macros with real proper food.
>>
>>39013258
I usually just buy 10lbs gold standard. But theres this whey brand which is half the price, i think its promatix.
>>
>>39013500
>hey guys I can literally eat an entire pounds-worth of calories and feel sated and get enough protein! What's your problem?

Cutting basically requires protein powder.
>>
What's the consensus?
ON or Gold Standard?
>>
>>39013500

man maybe i just like drinking milkshakes for my protein. ever think of that, dirty bulker?
>>
>>39013478
A "rounded scoop" is 33g you fucking idiot. All you have to do to figure out the math is fucking use a scale
>>
>>39013528
does it matter
>>
>>39013524
are you cutting at 1000 calories or what? even at 1800 you can easily hit macros with food
>>
>>39013536
Are you telling me that filling the scoop to the top is 33g and not 24g?
>>
>>39013543
Oh sorry, let me eat literally nothing but chicken breast and steak all day long.

>>39013550
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?
>>
>>39013478
You do realize that a scoop doesn't necessarily equal a serving, right? The nutrition is for a 33g serving, a full or overflowing scoop might be 35 or even 40g.
>>
>>39013528
Sameshit. If you're a poorfag then theres better alternative

>>39013580
yes, which is why I'm asking the question, ffs you meat heads
>>
>>39013500
I work and study full time. I frequently forget to eat, or have to eat something quick and cheap. Having a shake now and then helps balance things out. A 5lb ON tub lasts me like 3-6 months.
>>
>>39013500
>i eat 3500 calories and around 170g of protein and i have no issues of hitting my macros with real proper food.

And how much are you spending on meals each day?

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to tell you.

When I say 33g, I'm not talking about protein. I'm talking about the weight of the powder in the scoop, which is a serving (see >>39013411) If you want an accurate measurement, the only way to know for sure is to measure it on a scale and measure out 33g.

At that point, all you have to do is weigh your powder and figure out how much protein is in from there. Let's say you accidentally dump in 45g instead of 33g. That's 1.37 servings. 1.37 multiplied by 24g of protein is 33g of protein.

and also
>ffs you meat heads
rude
>>
its shilling

it's almost 3x the price of the protein powder i use, which isn't even that bad
>>
>>39013648
what powder?
>>
>>39013454
It's their daily promotional deal. Two 5.5lbs for $80 (CAD, since I'm canadian). It will end in a couple hours and another promotion will start.
>>
>>39013665
Powdered semen
>>
>>39013716
Thats pretty steep
>>
>>39013627
~5 eur

It's pretty good. I got some on sale through Amazon.

Tastes fantastic with milk. Above average with water.
Stick to the common flavours, double chocolate is good.

Anyone try this? I'm thinking of ordering from myprotein, but I can get this at the Sam's club down the street. I've only ever had gold standard.

So should I order from myprotein or pick this shit up?
>>
Nutrabio is better
>>
>>39013258

It's just the best deal for protein. It's pretty good (not the best), for a really good price.

>it says the protein per serving

Guys, d-does your country not say the "amount per 100g"?

This is all that matters, the density of proteins (and shit) rather than the amount.

I am on a casein product at night which is 80/100.
And a daytime whey that is 75/100. both mix well, and are cheap due to muh vouchers and discounts.

I literally couldn't find a denser product.

I want my Supplements to be quality and the only two brands that i have used for a year now is jym and GS

havent been able to find anything that tastes as good and still having the same quality.

also take orange triad and armor trim if anyone was wondering.
>>
>>39013258
Optimum is the shit. Great flavors without being too sickly artificial sweet, and great macros (high protein per serving, low carbs per serving)
>>
>>39013258
now fitness has really tasty stuff and it's blended whey, which I hear is better than anyone alone
>>
>>39013454
Purchased 11lb of MP Unflavored Isolate for $60. Feels good breh

I don't see any reason to use gold standard when you have pic related
>>
>>39013258
Protein is protein.

It was one of the only protein supplements sold in a fair price in my vicinity that passed unbiased third-party tests and came out clean, and the flavor was highly recommended (cookies and cream is like drinking a desert), so I bought it and have no regrets.
>>
>>39013398
this

too expensive

I don't know how it tastes, but by looking at the nutrition info>>39013411 I can see that it is around 70% protein, vs the 60% protein I can get from Body Fortress for less than half the price.
>>
>>39013500
Whey has a better amino profile then almost anything else unless you eat a dick load of eggs, which isnt very healthy because you can easily overdo vitamin a from eggs and meat (it stores into liver once youve had too much). Eating meat, eggs, AND whey is the best way to get a lot of protein without overdoing any micros.

t. A guy who routinely hit 12000 units of vitamin A from eggs (about double what the body can reasonably use) before using whey
>>
>>39013580
If you level off the scoop like a non retard it's almost always a perfect serving or maybe a half gram more. I weighed my scoop once out of curiosity and it was a perfect serving.
>>
>>39018605
why would you eat that many eggs? Eggs aren't even very good sources for protein considering the macros. Only advantage is that they're cheap.
>>
>>39018630
a lot of people don't, believe it or not.
