    I recently purchased 20 lbs of it, but you can get in 5lb increments.

    No protein shake will ever replace proper nutrition. I limit my shakes to one a day on non work out days (upon waking, the first thing I have) and two on work out days (one upon waking and one after a work out). I use Optimum Nutrition or Forza Pro and each shake consists of: 2 scoops of protein powder, 1 cup of oats, 8 tbsp Greek yogurt, 6 tbsp egg whites, 1 cup almond milk, and 1 banana. It provides 850 calories, 9g of fat, 78g protein, 105g carbs.

    As a general rule of thumb, the sweeter (or better tasting) your protein powder, the more sugar it is likely to have. Try to avoid protein powders where one of the first few ingredients is maltodextrin. That artificial sweetener is 7 times sweeter than normal cane sugar and is the main culprit for spiking insulin and promoting fat retention in many of the protein powders on the market - especially those sold as "mass gainers" (nothing more than fat gainers IMO).

    Best way to grow and gain? Eat, eat, EAT!

    i just came reading this. people dont get it.. protein powder is bad causes cancer, misinformed micros on actual protein and and the large amount of sugar, buy unflavored whey iso to start but still look at the actual ingredients and Google them so you understand.

    Dude I'm glad I'm reading this I've just found a uk site thats doing 90% & 97% whey isolate that has zero sugar or carbs
    My ? Is should I buy this instead of on gold as I have been doing and add some off your ingredients obviously to fit my macros and cutting diet
    My only shakes are breakfast and bedtime
    Breakfast 2:1 protein &oats
    Bedtime 1 1/2 scoops of protein
    All my other food is real
    I want to change as its cheaper to buy the bulk than optimum nutrition I was thinking maybe something along the lines off
    Breakfast 2 scoops pro 1/2 cup oats 1/2 cup egg whites 1 tablespoon natty pb
    Bedtime 1 scoop pro 1/2 cup egg white 2 tablespoons ff Greek yoghurt
    Would these work?

    well.. whey iso is great, i mean it should be one of the first ingredients for any protien powder. sugar causes insulin spike. but there are times you need those things... like right after your work out. sugar is actually a good thing then.. i dont like splenda.. has a lot of research saying its bad.. same with agave syrup.
