Is there a secret to which brand I should buy?

>>41157124
Yeah, none of them. Eat actual food instead.

Eating real food is for pussies who absolutely have to eat like pampered faggots

You will never make it if you don't down a shake or two a day, you need to dehumanize yourself in order to achieve success, otherwise you're a dyel

I had Olimp, now buying Optimum Nutrition 'cuz I heard it's better, we'll see

>>41157124
dont fall for the other brands meme

Optimum Nutrition, double chocolate, every time.

Ive tried target brand, optimum nutrition cookies and cream, jarrow unflavored (garbage taste obviously).

Just get chocolate so u dont want to kill urself and ur family.

I like to do the following: get a big bag of ON double chocolate and then order small 2.2 lb bags of different flavors from myprotein to mix with it. 1 scoop chocolate + 1 scoop banana is pretty good

What do you guys think of pic related? I get strawberry or chocolate and its pretty fucking tasty plus it has 0 or 1 g of fat and no carbs

>>41157271
I've heard the red velvet one is pretty good, but typically yeah, Double Chocolate is ideal.

any whey isolate without sucralose.

splenda/sucralose is literal poison. if youre eating it, your liver has to filter it out because it turns into chlorine in your body.

it kills your natural gut flora, which manages your digestion and can influence your mental state.

I personally only eat unflavored whey. three scoops a day, no extra bullshit.

jay robbs egg protein tasted awesome and goes down easy but it costs a lot

probably isopure or something similar is ideal

Not OP, but is CVS whey any good? Have an employee discount so it's significantly cheaper than any other kind available to me.

This is the most retarded shit I've heard on here all week. Do you even read words?

Yeah, sucralose is poison if you're shoveling literal pounds of the stuff into your face. Getting less than 5g (95% of isolate proteins and standard whey) is harmless - and I don't mean harmless as in you might notice something 20 years from now - you literally will not experience any negative effects ever. The amount of ethanol alcohol in a single beer is easily much much more harmful than sucralose.

Stop being such a gigantic uneducated faggot.

>>41157124
OP, to answer your question, most protein brands are the same in terms of quality. Don't pick by brand, pick by what fits your budget and what flavours you like;

>isolate
Usually most expensive option, but lowest calories, and contains highest quality microfiltered isolate protein

>"whey" or standard whey variations
Usually the cheapest because they're a mixture of isolate, hydrosolate, and concentrate. "Lower quality" proteins (not really) but usually have the best flavours.

>mass gainer
Price fluctuates depending on what they've added to the scoop, some have creatine added and some have vitamins and minerals. Usually getting ~60g of protein and ~1000Cal. Some mass gainers have a lot of carbs in them so keep an eye out.

Go to bb.com and pick a sale protein. You can't really go wrong. The difference between brands is negligible and you won't really notice it on your body unless one makes you shit a chocolate fountain and one doesn't.

Fuck off you sucralose peddling shill. How much are they paying you to spread their lies?? Cunts like you deserve a kick in the cunt.

Also, only faggots care about "nice flavours". Real men drink unflavoured, unsweetened shakes whilst power sliding a Ferrari and getting blow jobs from Victoria's Secret models.

>>41158518
This is the correct answer. Chocolate Browie flavour is best flavour.

>>41158400
>you literally will not experience any negative effects ever
o wow you heard it here first guys

>>41157364
Numerous studies says otherwise. Or you can post your pubmed study that says its dangerous

any MyProtein flavours that arent awful

>>41157124
I just buy fucking six star whey isolate. The French vanilla is fucking delicious and it's dirt cheap.

N=1 study here. Sucralose gives me migraine so I avoid it like the plague. It's a weird new chemical that's only recently been invented. Why not just stick to the stuff that humans have been eating for millennia?

>>41158400

Its 2017 and you're arguing that chlorinated sugar isn't a big deal.

>sucralose is poison
>you shouldn't worry about eating poison
>"you won't experience any harmful effects ever"

Acne, depression, inhibition of immune function due to microflora death, liver toxicity, etc.

You'll never know how many grams of sucralose you're exposed to as they don't have to list the amount as its a no-calorie additive.

Ethanol alcohol is terrible for you as well, but humans have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years and have adapted genetically to its toxicity. It's been "tested" by literal generations of people to be benign for the most part.

Sucralose is a human created, artificial sweetener that has only been around for less than 50 years. If you want to eat "food" that is in the same category as trans fats, go ahead.

Don't try and convince people that these chemicals are "safe". At BEST they may cause small side effects. But there's no reason to eat it, and the unknown side-effects could possibly be drastic. All risk, no reward. Seems like an easy choice. Stick with natural ingredients, not man-made bullshit.

TLDR: Fuck Aspartame, Trans Fats and Sucralose you corporate shill.

>>41158881
Yeah because they didnt test it on lab rats. Wew, how dense people can get

>>41158969
Its been well studied tho. You literally have to take loads of the stuff to get the negative effects. Its like you dont practice moderation, too much sugar or vit c too can poison you. Even fucking water can get you overdosed.

>>41159005

>"Well Studied"

Perhaps on rats. But I can't find a double blind placebo controlled human consumption study that is sufficient to convince me that there aren't any latent side effects. Especially in the long-term.

But that's not the problem. The issue is that there is NO reason you should ever eat zero-cal sweeteners.

In part, what's to blame is America's indulgence "culture", and the idea that food has to taste "good". You can't possibly consume a protein drink that doesn't taste like a milkshake because "It's gross" or some other pussy excuse.

If you want something sweet, man up and eat it. Have a milkshake, some gummy bears or some fruit. I don't give a fuck. There's room for junk food in most diets if you want to be honest with yourself.

It's the same rationalization as a hamplanet ordering a Diet soda with his McDonalds. It's a pathetic attempt to maximize dopamine "pleasure" without having to "pay" for it by actually eating nutritive substances.

Again, you can eat your man-made untested garbage if you want. Especially if you're too weak-willed to stick to a "diet" and can't live without constantly ingesting foods that trick your brain into thinking it's eating sugar.

But you're lying to yourself and others if you attempt to argue that these substances are worth the risk-- both of proven side effects and the even more worrisome unknown effects.

Don't buy any flavored whey. Buy unflavored and mix it in with diet soda and water/milk

That way you can never be bored, like if you would with double rich chocolate

just get any whey protein. they're all the same

Read the fucking papers faggots. Let me explain.

Put your lips on a tailpipe faggot. Bet you don't eat farmed fish because of mercury.

>you don't know how many grams of sucralose you're exposed to!
How will I ever survive, I might as well kill myself if I can't survive ingesting a few disaccharides.

Are you all retarded? As long as the magic powder doesnt have an absurdely small amount of protein per 100g, buy the cheapest one you can get. Myprotein is the cheapest I could find and works as good as gold's. No need to overpay 3x just because you saw Jay using it.

Tastes just like a chocolate milkshake. I leave out the banana and/or peanut butter if I want to cut calories.

What do you guys put in yours?

>>41161030
you can use powdered peanut butter instead if you want to add some more protein + taste for less calories than regular peanut butter

>>41161057

Well damn I didn't even know that powdered peanut butter exists.

But usually I leave the peanut butter out anyways, the shake is still delicious without it.

Make sure it's not loaded with fillers, and make sure it tastes good. The shake won't be of any use if you don't like it yourself. They're there to help when food is absent, but not to replace.

can anyone recommend a protein powder that has around 20g protein per 100 calories? closest i've found are the muscle milk premade shakes, but they're too expensive to buy in bulk.

>>41158518
