Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey vs EAS Myopro (Simply Protein)

Hi All,

Here in South Africa there is a very limited range of products. I do not want to get a local brand because I simply don't trus them :)

I am looking for a good striaght whey protein for use after a workout. The two best options I have are the following and I am looking for any input or advice:

1. Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey (is there a difference between the normal one and the 'natural' one as I can get both)
2. EAS MyoPro (previously Simply protein).

When comparing them I see the EAS has around 5g carbs per serving and 20g protein, whereas the ON has 4g carbs and 23g protein for the same serving size (~30g scoop). In terms of price, the ON is about 30-35% more and I just wanted to know if it is worth the extra money??

Thanks for any advice,
X

PS. PLEASE do not tell me to get another brand since I simply cannot get others here. Thanks!

hi there,

What about the actual ingredients: is any one better than the other in terms of quality? The only thing that deters me to the EAS (which I have actually found for around 45% cheaper now) is the fact that it's 5g carbs per 20g protein, so if I want 50-60g of whey I will also get 10-15g carbs which is now not negligible anymore :(

Anyone experienced any difference in results when moving from EAS to ON or visa versa?

Thanks!

PS. What is the best flavor in each? I hear the EAS strawberry is good and the ON chocolate/choc-mint.

hi guys,

thanks for the info. just one last question: do you guys think that the extra cash is worth it? i know it may not mean much cause it is my local currency, but I can get the EAS for 240, whereas the ON is 385! also does anyone here use the EAS protein and have any problems with the (relatively) high carb content?

cheers,
