    MyProtein, Bulk Powders and The Protein Works are all good.

    Bulk Powders are doing a deal today and tomorrow only where you can get two 2.5kg bags for €50 with the promo code PER225.

    If the Olympus you were using was the All In One protein, it has 46.5g of protein per 100g. That's a poor return. And there are fewer servings than the three I mentioned which would be more servings per unit and would be ~ 80g protein per 100g.

    I use Kinetica, it tastes good, and works well. It's not the cheapest but it's made in Ireland, so it's worth a small premium.

    Yeah it was the all in one protein I got by the looks of it,it's very high in sugars and carbs.i put on an awful lot of weight from taking it which I find hard to loose.

    And its píss poor as a source of protein for something which is marketing itself as a good source of protein

    Arrived with DPD today.

    As a lover of all things banana I'm delighted their banana flavour kicks the crap out of MyProtein's.

    A serving is 47.2g with 22g protein. That's just less than 47%.

    With like of MyProtein and Bulk Powders, you're getting 77-80% protein, less carbs and less sugar. And more servings per unit weight.

    Comparison works out along the lines of 21g protein per euro for Syntha-6 and 48g per euro from MyProtein.
