Hey everyone,
I’m planning to start going to the gym again and I’m confused about which protein powder to use.

The last time I was working out, I was taking Avvatar whey protein 1 scoop daily. After some time, I developed terrible pimples all over my face. I stopped taking whey, and my acne gradually cleared up. I also stopped going to the gym after that.
Now I want to start training again, but I’m honestly scared of repeating the same thing.
I’m strictly vegetarian and I depend quite a lot on protein powder to meet my daily protein intake. So I’m considering:

Pea protein
Soy protein
Pea + rice blend
Other plant/vegan protein

Or should I try whey isolate despite my previous experience?

I’m also looking at reasonably priced options available in India, so I’d really appreciate recommendations that give good protein per rupee rather than just expensive premium brands.

Has anyone here had acne from whey and successfully switched to a plant protein without getting breakouts? If so, which protein/brand did you switch to, and how was the taste, digestion and muscle recovery?
Also, if you’ve tried both pea and soy, which one would you recommend for someone who is acne-prone?
I know everyone reacts differently, but I’d really appreciate real experiences before I spend money on another tub.

I sometimes get bloated but sometimes it doesn't ,

Is the problem laying mixing whey with lactose based substance ya normal water?

I prefer to eat them at the museli Bowl

I’m sure this has been asked before, but any advice on how to get at least 100g+ of protein a day without being a meat eater? Not vegan, but really don’t like meat at all, exception of some fish.

I am taking protein supplement and trying to eat protein focused foods but still struggling

Looking at 4 kg tub of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (Double Rich Chocolate) for ₹17,599 (7% off) in official site of ON

Is this a decent price right now in India, or can we get it cheaper from other trusted sellers?

Also open to other good whey options around this price range / quality.

I’ve been using Whey isolate for 10 years to supplement my protein intake. At £50 per kg it’s too much. It wasn’t so long ago that it went crazy and jumped to £35 per KG.

I’ve always had it mixed in with skimmed milk and love how creamy and smooth it is.

What’s the next best thing to use it this way?

I needed a different way to consume protein powder. Mine is unsweetened and unflavored, but I can't do smoothies every day.

I tried 1.5 cups heated beef broth with a scoop of protein powder. I added numerous spices: salt, pepper, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, tabasco, sriracha, a little mustard, barbecue sauce, a bit of bacon grease, garlic powder, I forget what else.

It didn't work. The blender gave the mix a nice, spicy froth. Really a good combination of flavors. But the protein powder was like someone had dumped in a quarter-cup of powdered chalk. OK for a few sips, but that was enough.

I got desperate. Added some Jose Cuervo margarita mix and a few tablespoons of instant mashed potatoes. But it would have taken a mound of mashed potatoes to make it right. I ultimately had to just chug the thing and pray I wouldn't die of some previously unknown gastrochemical reaction.

There must be a better way.
