I use to buy all my supliments from planetdepot.com, Whey protein, animal pak (multivitamin), glutamine, creatine, amino acid capsules, and weight gainer. People from another forum (big fold and b*dybuilding) mentioned ezpricematch(www.ezpricematch.com). They pricematch any supliment on the netand take an additional 5% off. I order 10lbs of whey protein and it cost $40.84. If you private message I can email you an additional 5% off coupon code.
Copied from another site to explain how this website works:
ODpunisher (from big fold)
How this works is that after you add one of their products to your cart, it allows you to insert the url of any website that has that product for cheaper than them. They also ask you for that site's price and when you hit the pricebust button it automatically calculates the new price. I assume they verify this so don't try making some phony website to pm.

Also a protein shake shouldn't raise your caloric intake by much if you are eating properly. Protein shakes shouldn't necessarily be taken for taste but it's always a plus Mixing it with a hand blender helps alot, it makes it a smoother consistency, and easier to take down but try not to mix too much into it unless you are looking to add more calories to it by adding things such as oatmeal. My personal preference is to take a protein shake in the morning with my oatmeal, preworkout, then postworkout. In terms of cardio, high impact is the best 10 minutes doesn't sound like quite enough, unless you're sprinting for the whole time. Losing fat starts with changing your diet, measure the calories and eliminate excess in terms of empty calories which you intake now. But definitely work your whole body, there's no point in having only beach muscles with chicken legs.

OR, lets say you add 40 grams of soy based protein powder to skim milk after working out. Then add dextrose or maltodextrin to spike insulin. That would not be as good as taking 40 grams of whey protein in water with dextrose or maltodextrin.

Actually if you don't credit the author of the work specifically it is technically plagiarism(this is the correct spelling btw but I'm not really nagging on you cuz I had to go look it up myself because when I typed it the way you wrote it something didn't really seem right). However since this is a forum and not a term paper it's not really a huge offense. HOWEVER, I think what the other poster was trying to say was that you should have pointed the way to where this article was originally taken from or something so credit can go where credit is due. And also so that we can tell who's writing this. I mean, a study funded by say, the dairy farmers of america would be far less reputable than one funded by NHS. Same goes for some study about soy protein funded by soy producers.point to me exactly where i formally stated i authored all the articles or even suggested so? BTW i do attend college, a rather prestigious one, but where you attend doesn't always equate to intelligence (case in point: you think athletes got into harvard, yale, stanford, etc. because of academics?). what gets me is you attempt to label me as unintelligent by repeatingly bringing up the issue of plaigarism, when in nowhere in my post did i ever credit "kotix" as the author of the stated works.
I mean, if all studies were created equal you might as well believe the penis pill studies they have on those bad late night ads(man Ron Jeremy has pushed like 3 of those brands already. I'm SO sure they all work lol)

Yeah the protein is probably less dangerous but there's really no evidence that intaking 20x the protein you're supposed to take is even slightly healthy for you. I'm sure all this stuff works great (especially combining whey protein and creatine with dextrose/glucose in it) but you never know if 20 years down the line it turns out that extended use of creatine turns out to be bad when combined with excessive protein or something. Supposedly milk is carcinogenic(although I think this might be just from the fact that being fat makes you more likely to get cancer and whole milk is fattening like crazy) and if whey is derived from milk who knows?
Eh...

Back to the original thread--
I usually look for around 80%, which I believe is what Optimum is. What is the difference? For one thing, the EAS has 4 g of sugar per 29.5 g serving. Not good. A previous post mentioned Optimum at $22/5 lbs. delivered, so I'll have to check that out, as it is actually cheaper per gram of protein, plus it doesn't have the superfluous sugar calories.

yea, what kind of sweetners are being used in the protein powders you guys are getting? I'm thinking of getting a custom mix from protein factory using stevia as the sweetner. Any of the commercial powders use stevia only?
