I used to mix my whey with my Skyr.
Supplements the debate/discussion thread
- Thread starter Freefaller
- Start date
same - Fage & raspberry whey - tastes like old school angel delight. Throw a few blueberries in and some crushed almonds.....great "healthly" snack with lots of protein and some fats.
Currently use Whey Isolate to bump up my protein intake of which most comes from Pea and Rice.
Friend loves his Beef Isolate but I hear a lot of negativity mostly about low amino acid scores
Whey is expensive so I'm looking to change to something a bit cheaper but still high quality.
So Beef Isolate or Soy Isolate, the latter seems to be well liked and scores well.

Do you have a specific reason for using isolate? Switching to whey concentrate would be a good choice to save some cash.
Avoid beef isolate it's effectively just collagen and useless for building muscle tissue.

I'm also dropping body fat so controlled calories.
I take 400cal Huel Black for breakfast and 400cal for Lunch. That's 80g protein between them.
Dinner varies widely and I don't count anything there, I then like to top up the protein before bed/after training.
Since paying attention to my protein intake I certainly feel I recover faster I don't snack as much either.

Honestly if calories is the only reason for using an isolate I'd just go for the whey concentrate, you're looking at an increase of approx. 30kcals per 100g of whey so basically nothing.
I also find it just kinder on my gut, no side effects so to speak of that I used to get.

JUST TAKE THE DAMN CONCENTRATE

Bro DYEL...
And your problem is?

I was kidding bro because you were resisting Tom’s persistent sales pitch

I do, but found it’s easier to wear tight clothes

Someone I work with is trying to set up a business using protein powder made from ground crickets. And I don’t mean the sport.
They're supposed to be very sustainable.

Given the number of people I know who can't drink a shake that isn't perfectly smooth without heaving, I say their biggest challenge won't be the source of the protein itself
Yeah... I have never understood this. Same with people who can't swallow a tablet without apparently choking.Given the number of people I know who can't drink a shake that isn't perfectly smooth without heaving, I say their biggest challenge won't be the source of the protein itself
I’ve just hit 205lbs to help some light heavyweight friends, and now want to get my abs back. Switching from gainer to just protein, anyone got any recommendations on the best tasting brands? There’s far more flavours but I’ll probably stick with chocolate. Cost or calories isn’t a factor.
Been happy with MyProtein stuff.

Unsure if i'm just getting unlucky but feel like these companies need to sort their **** out.
I've 3 tubs of powders, and each one has stupid measurements now. One is 1 and 3/4 scoops, another is 2.5 scoops. I know they give a weight, but why can they not just include a scoop which gives even measurements! Seems to be cheaper brands mainly as i don't remember this with SIS/High5
