Have to agree with that!on 100% Whey rocks!the price is right and only some specialised protein mixtures(ouch!) have better nutriyional properties.the taste is not bad either;the crucial thing is that it is quite tasty mixed with water(when u dont want more cals or fat).Great overall(also best selling protein in the megasite bodybuilding.com)
I would alo recommend reflex instant whey and micro whey.Great tasting(vanilla & chocolate) and v high in nutritional values.
I have also tried maximuscle Promax(Biomax Whey Protein) and Cyclone(50g wheyprotein-10g glutamine-10g creatine-3g HMB).Did not enjoy Promax(undrinkable) but Cyclone was not bad and very effective(although it did not meet the product's claims.
Anyway, i suppose with supplements its trial and error and one has to keep his expectations in rational levels.To me , the most important must-have supplements is whey protein-creatine-eca stack(recently banned,ephedra ban).
if u r not a pro why try anything else?Training and proper nutrition is 90% supplementing is 10%!

Yeah Chazz nice to see you paying attention. But Optimum nutrition 10 lb bag is the best. Lots of building blocks for muscle(BCAA) 24 g per seving. And has 163 servings. Its the best u can buy and thats why so many people use it. Use it or u suck lol

your body can only ingest so much in one sitting. But that number is undetermined.

Agreed. I would rather take in 25-30grams 2-3 times a day opposed to 52 grams once a day. The directions even suggest taking a 1/2 serving 2-3 times a day. So, I'd follow the label if you want results, I did and have seen great results! Just my .02 cents.

more than that, you'll be wasting protein since you're body only can consume so much in one sitting.

Granted, there is no optimal number yet but depending on many variables, there is no magic number that you'll hit where you can't ingest any more protein in one sitting.

It's person dependent. But somebody might ingest 60g easily in one sitting and I might only do 30g.

As you say.. your body can only ingest so much in one sitting. But that number is undetermined.

You should use 2 scoops with 8-10oz of milk 2-3x's a day. Anything more than that, you'll be wasting protein since you're body only can consume so much in one sitting. I've been on N large 2 for 2 1/2 months now and have gained 12 lbs along with my meal plan. Good luck!

UPDATE:

I already drank 2 full tall glasses of this stuff. I cannot drink it mixed in water taste is so crappy. But today I mixed 2 scoops with some vanilla icecream, whole milk, and some choclate syrup. Mixed it into the blender real real good and drank it over a peroid of 1 hour time just sipping on it. Tasted real good. Still had a small mineral taste but it wasnt that bad. Tastes decent enough for me to drink so its gotta be real good for others to drink cause my stomach has never been able to hold down anything that tastes nasty. Again thanks for the info and help !

ya I just mixed some and all clumpy but I didnt read close enough and I found that 4 scoops equals 1 serving haha so im gonna use 1 1/2 scoop 3 times a day for about a week to get me used to it then im gonna bump it up.

Also im gonna be using a blinder to mix this up with. About how much water in cups/liters/Milli liters, etc should I mix in for 1 1/2 scoops ? Enough to fill up a normal size drinking cup? Very sorry for the dumb questions but I dont want to take to less of this or to much know what I mean? THANKS

oooooooh and also what size cup should I mix this in? A regular drinking glass orrrrrr coffee cup or what do yall recomend?

I fnd a bigger glass always makes for easier mixing. When I try to mix anything in a small cup, I get lots of clumps.

Okay tater tot. It depens. If it says one scoop 1 serving. Or 2 scoops one serving. Depending on how much u weigh. Lets say u weigh 150 pounds. Consume about 175g or more a day, Get roughly around half of that from the protien. Let the rest be food. U could prob use more shakes than food . But w/e. No dont follow it. Take 1 scoop 2-3 times a day. Ur stomach will probably not like it at first give it three days before it gets adjusted u should be good to go. By the way prolab sucks. Go with the 10 lb bag of ON whey . Lots of branched chain amino acids comes with more and is dang cheap. No prob senor.

Just dont get fat get big
