    I really don't think there is 21g of protein per 30g in that bag.

    Out of curiosity, why do you think that?

    I think of it because of its:
    Price
    Mixability
    Taste
    No Results

    Bulkpowders Choc Cookie = job done. Great tasting, cheap whey.

    If you don't like chocolate whey, berries & cream is pretty nice. Like raspberry ripple ice cream or Eton mess.

    Thanks Gummy :)

    The cheapest you're going to get gold standard whey is probably about €59.99 for a 5lbs tub and between 105 and 110 for a 10lbs bag (provided a website doesn't have a sale on). Loads of places at that price. Discount Supplements, Bodyfirst Nutrition, Universal Nutrition. I don't know why your heart is so set on it though and you also mentioned "results", its just a whey protein powder you're not going to get results off it. It's just going to help you increase your protein intake and help with recovery provided the rest of your diet and training is in check.

    If you're looking for cheap whey protein that's of good quality; bulkpowders, myprotein, theproteinworks, go nutrition are all good options. Suss them out yourself.

    As I've mentioned previously I happen to work in Bodyfirst so if any regulars ever plan on popping in throw me a mail beforehand and let me know.

    ON whey 100% protein
    75 servings
    €64 per tub
    2 servings of 48g
    1 month €64

    Milk
    €1.49 per day, 65g protein per day
    €46.19 for 30 days, 1950g protein
    Calories per day = 640
    Cost per 30g = 71c

    ON (2.5 scoops per day)
    €2.13 per day, 60g protein per day
    €64 for 30 days, 1800g protein
    Calories per day = 300
    Cost per 30g = €1.08

    So gram for gram of protein, milk is cheaper. There's also a lot more calories, which may be positive or negative.
    Also, the above is based €64 per tub, which is very high. If you bought it from one of the site mentioned above, it would be half that and slightly bigger bag too (2.5kg). The 4-5kg bags would be better again.

    Online (e.g. Bulk Powders, My Protein, Go Nutrition)
    €1.06 per day, 66.6g protein per day
    €32 for 30 days (2.5kg), 2000g protein
    Calories per day = 335
    Cost per 30g = 48c

    I'm looking to get a cheaper whey myself I really like ON but it's very pricey, gonna try bulk powder but not sure weather to go for isolate or not, is there much diffrence, as isolate only 10 quid cheaper than ON ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 10,678 ✭✭✭✭893bet


    Just get te wpc. No need for the isolate unless you have lactose issues.

    i started using this stuff called forever light ultra. its based on non-genetically modified soy protein. Contains aminotein which is a unique blend of enzymes specifically designed to break down the protein in your diet. seems to work pretty well for me and i got it for like 30 quid

    Don't think that's quite the same thing.

    Out of curiosity, why do you think that?

    There was a test online where somebody tested a load of protein powders and I think ON was the only one which had what it said on the the tin (excuse the pun)

    I'll try find it.

    Edit....Actually ON were frauding too, I cant find the original sheet but here is a thread, just use ZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM

    It was on Reddit /fitness

    Summarised here: http://www.allthingsgym.com/protein-powder-analysis/

    Original Reddit thread

    Note the comment on the myprotein sample, which may mean it comes out on top for protein content vs claimed content, just about same as ON (take price into account and it's a lot better).

    Yeah, I saw that before, quite interesting! I don't think the person I quoted earlier thought what he thought because of that though. Myprotein and ON had very similar results because they source their protein from the same company.

    Saw that before, testing was supposedly very flawed.

    I'd imagine so, it was just some dude in his garden shed or something testing samples that random people sent him.
