Protein is Protein...right??

I am taking EAS from Wal Mart. Is it really any different that getting ON or Muscle Milk????

I figured Protein is Protein. Please let me know if I am wrong.

ON whey is the best protein that you can get

But what makes it better?

**Kirk** · 08-27-2007, 07:45 PM

mix volume, grams per scoop, reputability...the fact cheap **** is just plain protein, theres whey and casein, also other nutrients in the protein such as bcaa's...

personally i use ON whey and it just tastes so much better, mixes well, mixes with other substitues like my bananna with milk making a nice smoothie, maybe throw some rolled oats in there...i experiment and havent been let down yet...ON is a very very good company and love their protein...

Well man depending on what eas protein your using there about the same. I curently use both eas and Optimum. Eas is usualy my morning shake and ON is pre and post work out. I think eas tastes better than my ON mainly because my ON has a gritty texture lately... Kinda like wtf!?!?!

Ya man i get 10lb bags there $60 dollars and the cheapest i can find.

**rIPPDUP** · 08-28-2007, 01:27 AM

definitely

Another diference in protein powders is how good your body can absorb it. For example whey proteins absorb very quickly which is what you want right after your workout. Egg, Soy, and Casein are absorbed much more slowly than whey...
Even among whey proteins, there is difference, you've got hydrolyzed whey, ion exchange whey, micro flitration wheys and cross flow microfiltration... Long story shot, you, as a bodybuilder should be looking for hydrolyzed whey protein which is absorbed by your body the quickest.

You be the one who decides.

Wow, a 10lb bag of ON 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard for $60? Please PM me the link for that... since protein prices went up earlier this year I didn't think those prices still existed for that.

**mm1snapper** · 08-28-2007, 07:44 PM

I get mine at the vitamin shoppe... I got a buddy who hooks me up with a 20% discount so i end up paying like $60 with tax...
