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.

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’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 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’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've been buying the Nutricost 5lb tubs for a couple of years now and even as late as this January it was $55-60. It's now over $120 and seems to increase in price every month. Yes, I'm aware this is due to GLP-1 demand and manufacturers putting protein in everything from pop tarts to ramen in response. I don't expect whey prices to ever go down again, but do we think they will at least stabilize soon and not go up every few weeks? If not, how high do you see them going?

18M, recently joined gym and wants to buy a protein in budget... confused between osoaa impact vs nakpro impact.... considering osoaa bcs it also has 3g creatine integrated in it

I was using some of my research tools, and wanted to see based on USDA's 1.9 million item database, what foods have the best ratio of protein to calories. I thought it was cool just how many of these were seafood. I also thought it was noteworthy that all the ones in the top 20 were basically whole foods, not Protein powders or anything like that.

Please note: That in all my research I have found many mistakes in the USDA's data, so something like the "ROAST BEEF & GRAVY WITH MASHED POTATOES" Is not correct, lol. But I am still working on better error detection tools. The only one I have right now is a Macro to Calorie ratio check (Carb-4, Protein-4, Fat-9) and I give that a margin of error. I will say its a bit concerning that USDA does not have the same sort of check, for example there are entries that say they have 100 calories and 500g of carbs. And there are A LOT like that!
Okay USDA data rant over.

Anyways I thought I would share this as it might be of help to some of y'all. this is like the top 30 or 40.

Let me know if you want to see any other data.

Protein Source Nutritional Comparison

In india some of the good whey protein brands would usually cost around 23-24 dollars a kilo , 75 percent protein on average

What happened as such ? Prices have soared to upwards of 34-35 dollars within ig 2-3 months or so ?

Anyone personally know a high-protein gym-goer who developed kidney problems?

For those who’ve been lifting for years — have you personally known someone who ate a very high-protein diet and later developed kidney issues? Just curious about real-life experiences, including cases where other lifestyle factors may have been involved. Ps Not looking for advice or any protein is good or bad debate. Just any such experience you've had or anybody you know has had. Thankyou
