Affordable/Cheap and Good Protein...

Wilburburns Posts: 69 Joined: 2008/06/12	2008/07/23, 09:38 AM Walmart... Never even thought to look there. Where in the store are the Protein Powder/Supplements usually at. I just checked online and didn't find anything. Brick and Mortar Vs Online... Honestly, I don't care. I just want to get the best bang for the Buck. I'd rather spend money on my daughters than supplements for me. Are there any other recommendations for actually Where the best prices are usually found. Thanks again.. Cliff

Most likely by the diet pills, or around there somewhere. Body fortress actually tastes pretty good, even in water. I like to make smoothies out of it at night when I'm craving that oh so delicious and naughty ice cream. Right now, I can buy it for $12.97. It comes in chocolate or vanilla.

Wilburburns Posts: 69 Joined: 2008/06/12	2008/07/22, 04:42 PM OK, I have been searching the Forums for some Good Tasting/While affordable (read: CHEAP) Protein Drinks/ Brands. Unfortunately, most of the Topics are OLD and likely have out of Date info. It's really to bad that I don't have enough knowledge in this area to know what's still relevant and what's not. So, here is what I think I have found and some questions I have. For a complete Meal Replacement Muscle Milk gets Good Reviews for Taste. However, I'm not sure I would classify it as Cheap. The Originals are Fairly high in Calories, but I see a "Light" version in this brand. Are the "Light" versions still Good. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for the best place to purchase. Now for just a general Pre or Post Workout Shake. This is where the real questions are. BB1fit says he uses "What's ON SALE" during the Off Season, but then recommends http://www.giantnutrition.net/store/index.php?cPath=21 that from Giant, Which doesn't seem to be any Protein Powders at all. I've seen others recommend allthewhey.com, and even other recommend trueprotein.com. Allthewhey and trueprotein both seem to be comparable in price, but can anyone recommend the better tasting product. Currently, what I think I'm considering are the following. trueprotein.com - teamskip allthewhey.com - Whey Protein Blend I would really love to find a place that could or would sell smaller portions for a decent price. I really don't want to have to buy several pounds of something that I end up not being able to drink. Any help appreciated.. Cliff

Not the best for an actual meal replacement, but I use it post workout right now(I'm actually on a reduced calorie diet to shed those last few pounds before my honeymoon). I highly recommend Cytogainer if your looking for something that has more calories.

However, going there now, seems they no longer sell protein. Too bad, it was great stuff, great flavors. Cheap would be 5 star from WalMart and the other brand they sell, cannot think of the name of it off hand. It is most certainly do-able for protein. And I do use 'whats on sale' in the off season. No reason to buy expensive protein powders at that time. If an expensive one is on sale, I will buy it. Otherwise, WalMart will do. Vitamin Shoppe has some decent priced stuff if you are looking for a brick and mortar store. ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Message deleted by moderator due to unsuitable content for this board. ============= -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

Wilburburns Posts: 69 Joined: 2008/06/12	2008/07/23, 04:36 PM Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.. I ran out to the Local WalMart at lunch and picked up a Tub of the Body Fortress "NEW! Super Advanced Whey Protein" Vanilla Flavor. I'll give it a try and see what I think.. This brings up a new question though... According to the Label and Nutritional Info, http://www.bodyfortress.com/images/supplementfacts/044320.pdf , This contains small amounts of BCAA's and Creatine. While I hadn't planned on taking BCAA's or Creatine, How do the levels/amounts which are included compare to a true Dosage I could/should take if done individually? Also, as a Side note, it appears as though "Cookies and Cream" and "Strawberry" are flavor options. I didn't see those in the store, have others found those flavors in the store... Thanks Again, Cliff
