@dawn16 I get mine from canadianprotein.com. I get the whey concentrate and it comes in a ton of flavours. I have cooked and cream and chocolate peanut butter but I've tried plain chocolate, mint chocolate chip and strawberry. All quite tasty.
So glad I'm not the only one. Snicker doodle protein mixed with cashew milk tastes like a treat. For breakfast it's so much closer to what I prefer (sugar filled cereal) than a more macro friendly option (eggs). I do like eggs but some days you want something else!
@dawn16 Exactly this. I have fairly limited calories (1300-1600, depending on whether or not I'm exercising - sadly it'll be 1300 until my calf heals) and so I'm always trying to find low-cal, tasty ways to get what I need.
@jsmithcavs I looked it up too, and I think they were comparing extremes. A Mcdonald hamburger has about 12 grams of protein, most whey protein ranges from 20-30 grams per serving. Really depends on the burger I guess.
@jsmithcavs I thought that was weird too. Like beef has tons of protein. And most burgers are decently sized these days. I mean, maybe not an itty bitty McDonald's dollar menu burger. That's probably more like 12-15g.
@doyola38 Well of course! I wasn't pointing out calorie comparisons, just protein. I can't even eat a big mac so I would never use it to destroy my calorie goals for the day
@doyola38 BigMac is close to 510 calories... Maybe 490. I would say whey protein is more macro friendly than a double deluxe cheeseburger at any fast food joint.
@knowhisjoy77 Reaching 100+ g of protein is difficult for me. I am pretty new to it still so I probably just need to play around with what I am eating.
@knowhisjoy77 It sounds like I need to up the steak intake lol! I mostly stick with chicken and pork. Cows were my favorite animal when I was younger so I tend to stay away from eating beef very often
This article is not sourced, and it claims to rate the "effectiveness" of protein powders by g per serving?? Maybe that would be a useful statistic compared against cost per serving, but on its own, completely useless. It only tells you the size of the scoop they include.
