I'm back in the gym working out regularly and am ready to start adding additional protein to my daily routine. It's been awhile since I've bought any, so I figured I'd hit you all up for suggestions. Fire away
Is there any protein out there that actually tastes good. I tried muscle milk and some other stuff with just cold water and i cant stand drinkin it
GNC Mega tastes great, even with just water. I always make a few and let them sit in the fridge overnight. Yummy!
It's actually pretty good. Although, there's the powder and there's the orange-juice like carton it comes in (small, larger). The powder I haven't tried, but judging from the comments here, is probably going to taste like dog ****. The muscle milk though in the carton form is actually pretty good. It tastes "pretty" much like chocolate milk (with the 5000 vitamins etc, it doesn't taste completely) and it's got something like 20-30 grams of protein in it. Give that a shot before you try that muscle milk powder. ahh... found it http://www.cytosport.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=20 they've got it at any 24 hour fitness and smoothie kings.
From what I understand, you get all of the protein you need from the food you eat. Anything extra goes out in your urine. So, more than 100% of your daily protein intake is just a waste from what I understand. Use something with the name "anabolic" in it.
Research shows that protein powders with essential amino acids only is better than generic ones that have all kinds of amino acids. If you don't mind potential side effects, you can try human growth hormone for muscle growth. But you can't get HGH legally without a prescription here. Plus it is very expensive.
ON Whey Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate is what I take.. I've taken Cytosport and GNC products, but this is hands down the best protein out there.
ISOpure and Muscle Milk light will keep you from getting plump most protein powders are just soaked with saturated fats....
Like I said earlier I really like the chocolate Myoplex original and if you are looking for a good amino acid creatine to take with it I would suggest Betagen because I have gotten some really good results using it. I would also suggest ordering online because you can get stuff for half the price that they sell it at GNC. Personally I use allstarhealth.com and get my order in about 3 business days.
