Protein Powder - Which is the best?

I’ve been using a certain brand of protein powder but I’m not packing on the muscle like I want to. I’m thinking about trying a different kind and I wanted to know what works or doesn’t work for all you T-Mag readers out there. Your input is appreciated. Thx.

Maybe it’s not the powder. Maybe it’s your program…or diet. If it is the powder…maybe Biotest sells quality protein powder.

Do you count calories? Dude, protein powder is just food. Would you say, “Chicken breasts don’t work for me.” T-mag has some great articles on training and diet. Start with the FAQ section and learn, learn, learn. And keep a food log. See Shugart’s “The Missing Ingredient” article. All that out of the way, I think Biotest Grow! has the highest quality and best taste.

It amazes me how many people think just consuming protein powder will make them big and strong. It’s only food not steroids.

Agree with TEK, but with one caveat. With protein powders, you basically get what you pay for. So if you’re using some cheap-ass stuff, you may NOT be getting as much protein as you think. That said, pretty much any of the leading companies’ stuff is okay. If you’re not gaining it’s probably your overall diet, not the particular powder you use.

It’s just silly ppl will ask “which protein powder is the best”.Because naturally,in the BIOTEST website,ppl are a little bit more biased eh? :wink: But it’s also fact that is probably is UP THERE! :slight_smile: So it’s all good.

Before you think about purchasing another supplement, make sure your training and nutrition program are up to par. Protein powders do not build muscle but only assist in building muscle. I answered a question like this from one of my athletes a few months ago.

I appreciate all the input. I know that protein powders alone won’t do it for you. I think my problem is that I’ve been using protein shakes as a substitute for meals and that has hurt me overall. I don’t eat things that are bad for me…I just don’t eat that much. I’ll look at the FAQ and see what I can find. Thx.
