Number of Protien shakes

[gixxerboy1]

I am interested in those who claim protein shakes somehow don't contain protein.. or much of it. If we can test steroids and the like to find out the dosages then I would assume somebody could check the contents of a protein shake to see what's in it.

Someone has done that before. I cant remember the site or link to it. Maybe someone else does

Ok so someone has tested it and it turned out to be protein. Ok that is good to know. Now am I also to assume that this protein is as effective as protein in real food ? ..assuming all else is equal of course - meaning take the rest of the effects out of the equation (the thermic effect of real food etc..).
Call me paranoid but is the protein that is found in shakes the type of protein that the body should be given post workout irrespective of it being called protein 'cause of some technical description.
The money business is big business (that is what the supplement business is about) and mass marketing can fool the best of us.

Just a thought not saying everyone is a scam. i will stick with real foods and just have 1, max 2 shakes a day. I will make sure I have some real food post workout just incase.

Its been a while since i read it. I wish i could find it. But some were and some werent close to what the labels stated. The ranked a bunch of them.

and as far as being the right kind of protien, It depends on what you buy. There is whey, casein, and more out there
