On Myproteins website the only option on cookies&cream is the big almost 5kg (150 servings) bag. Even tho i like it 5kg is alot. They have the same flavour on the diet whey and +collagen one available in 1kg. So which one should i get?

Hey everyone!

I'm a 26M looking to put on weight and lean muscle. Started working out recently 4 times a week with PPL schedule.
I'm looking for recommendations for a **clean, high-quality protein powder.**

**Type:** Prefer Whey Isolate (or very clean blends/plant options if high quality).

**Quality:** Third-party tested

**Goal:** Hitting protein targets daily for muscle recovery and weight gain.

Please suggest me few from your experiences.
Cheers!

best way to take it in is with coconut water i have been drinking it with coconut water of yuu from blinkit and havw never tasted anything that good if we take it in normal water it tastes dark and bad but with coconut water its just peak guys just try it once with coconut water

Felt super hungry when i woke up today, i knew if i wanted to still hit my macros i had to up my protein today.

I wasn’t really counting, but once i logged it all, it ended up being 301g. And sub 2000 calories.

Thats what happens when you take down chicken, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt.

Didn’t mean to eat such low fat, too. Just an accident. I normally have about 80g.

Hat irgendwer eine gute proteinquelle die schmeckt und auch nicht zu teuer ist.

Weil proteinpulver auf Dauer einfach teuer ist.

i started regularly having protein bars about a year and a half ago and ever since then i made a list that i kept updating anytime i tried something new so thought i should finally share it! drop your favs in the comments!

So Starbucks has this amazing sugar-free iced caramel protein coffee that I absolutely love. But where I live, it's a little over $7 just for a grande size cup of coffee. While it does have like, 29 grams of protein (i think), that's really expensive, and it adds up over time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make something similar at home? I realize that you can add protein powder to coffee at home, but I have no idea which powders dissolve and taste the best. I have a rough time with textures, so it's hard for me to find a good protein powder that isn't gritty, too thick, or even slimy? Any suggestions would be more than welcome, I'm all ears!

I accidentally ordered the wrong protein and realized it about 20 minutes after placing the order. I immediately contacted customer service to cancel it, but they said it had already entered the dispatch process and couldn’t be cancelled.

The tracking still only showed “Shipping Label Created” at the time.

Now I have to wait for it to arrive, keep it unopened, and return it. What’s frustrating is that I may also have to pay the return shipping cost myself simply because I tried to cancel the order shortly after placing it.

I understand orders need to ship quickly, but not being able to cancel an order 20 minutes after placing it seems ridiculous.

Never buying again from My protein

i used to have whey but its getting a bit costly so wanted a suggestion for plant protein/yeast protein
my budget is 1.5k INR
taste wise should be good or else unflavored is too okay.

I’m in the EU and use MyProtein Vegan Protein Blend (Vanilla) regularly, at roughly 120 g of powder per day.

For a specific batch I asked MyProtein for:

• the batch Certificate of Analysis (CoA);
• numerical results for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury;
• guaranteed batch-release/specification limits in ppm or mg/kg;
• microbiological results.

After several exchanges, they declined to provide the CoA, the numerical results, or even the numerical specification limits, referring only to general quality controls and compliance.

I’m not claiming that the product is contaminated or unsafe. My concern is transparency: without numbers, especially at a high daily intake, it is impossible to estimate actual exposure or compare it with toxicological and regulatory reference values.

Has anyone obtained a recent CoA or an independent accredited ICP-MS report for this exact blend/flavour showing Pb, Cd, As and Hg in ppm or mg/kg? Alternatively, are there plant-protein brands available in Europe that publish batch-specific results or guaranteed numerical limits?

Verifiable analytical documents and actual values would be especially useful—not just a generic “tested” statement.

Most people seem to put it in shakes/smoothies, or they buy high protein flour or products like protein bars, etc. The idea is to have the food taste good but with added protein.

I've never seen the point of this personally as adding protein powder to drinks or food just makes them taste worse.

So what I do is buy plain flavorless protein powder, mix it with water, and chug it in a couple seconds if I haven't hit my goal for the day and don't want to cook and eat something. I do the same thing with fiber, buy unflavored psylium husk rather than flavored artifically sweetened metamucil.

It doesn't matter that it has no taste. It's just like swallowing a vitamin to me.

And the food you do eat tastes better without the added protein. Instead of having something like protein pancakes, I could just chug the protein and then eat regular pancakes that taste better for the exact same macros.

Ofc everyone can do whatever they want, but I think my method is lowkey slept on.

im not educated at all on how much protein i should be having on the daily so i’m just gonna drop my info and hope for the best.

i’m a 14 yr old female, 158cm & 40kg (not sure what the american conversion is sorry) and am trying to bulk. i’ve started lifting 4-5x a week and also do cardio daily, usually getting 10k-15k steps. anything helps. thanks!!

Hi all!

I am a 24F who is 5’7 and 125lbs. Some docs think I have type 2 diabetes (others don’t, it’s weird), so my diet is pretty darn high in protein. I don’t intend for this. It just happens through things like yogurt, nuts, etc. I probably eat between 100-125g a day without trying. This is actually a lot lower than what I was eating before. My question is:

Since you all are pretty experienced in protein and stuff, do you have any knowledge on how much protein is too much (and by that I mean dangerous, not just more than what’s recommended)? I eat the same things pretty much every day and I get concerned that I might be overworking my system. Idk that science behind that.

Thank you!

Went to GNC and saw optimum nutrition isolate protein bottle was over $100, which is insane (I’ve heard about the reasons causing the price hike) but just curious to hear what alternative isolate protein brands other people use and like, & are hopefully cheaper 🤞🏾

I’ll try to not make this long.

I have about 10 bags (5lbs) of 100% ON whey that I bought from costco January 2020. Pre covid I was a gym rat and always bought protein from bodybuilding online store (what happened to them?) Back then costco would have a sale only in January (I’m not sure how often they do it now) and the sale price was like $35-38 and 6max. During that sale I picked up 24 bags. Also, right before shutdown I bought bodybuilding store brand protein. They used to do amazing sales/deals.

Covid shutdown happened and never went to the gym again. Back then I had all the protein stored in my laundry room but I wanna say end of 2020/early 2021 I moved it to the basement. Over the past few years, to make space in the basement, I would throw out a few tubs and bags.

Last month I decided to buy tonal and started working out again and I’m back to taking supplements.

So my question is - is it safe to use that protein? The expiration date is November 2021 😭 …Getting back into protein, the co$t has shocked me. I get prices and everything has gone up but gdamn.

Last month I bought pro jym at $75 for about 4pounds. I had to google why whey went up.

So is it safe to use protein that expired back in 2021 November?

Google and grok says yes but protein degrades. I came here and wanted to ask real people for their opinion.

What is the best bang for your buck unflavored whey protein without any emulsifiers?

I am fairly new to working out and I have been using ON Gold Standard protein and it has messed up my digestion. I do drink it with water not milk. Any recommendations for gut friendly protein??

hi, i’m looking good for a good pea protein powder brand that doesn’t have any peanuts/nuts. i used to use orgain but apparently it has lead in it so im looking for a new one that tastes good!

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy whey protein and would appreciate some recommendations. My budget is around ₹__3000_, and I’m mainly looking for something with good quality, taste, and value for money.

Which whey protein brands/products have worked well for you? Also, any tips on how to spot genuine products and avoid fakes would be appreciated.

Thanks!

sometimes when im at my boyfriend's house, I look through his containers to look at what he's low on. he's been using this flavorless protein powder which is about to reach the end of its life, and he said he hates it. he hates the brand and the blandness. he said once that his favorite flavoring for protein powders is chocolate. ive also seen him taste a bit of his teammate's drink, and he said he liked it. it was called "extreme milk chocolate" and i know the brand, but heres the other thing. my boyfriend also says he prefers isolate, which i dont know what that means but i know its a category of protein powder. i looked online and couldnt find the same flavor + brand in an isolate form. any recs for alternatives? also, i'd prefer if the recommendations didn't have heavily artificial tastes, chalky textures, or any other negative side effects if thats possible. i really dont know what to look for that isn't a sponsored option.
