Reddit reviews Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey Protein Powder, 100% Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Flavor: Turbo Chocolate, 3.5 Pounds

It's a math error on their part. They forgot to account for the (X2) part of 1.75-pound (Pack of 2).

1. (1.75lbsx2)=3.5lbs.
   
   
2. 3.5x16oz=56oz
   
   
3. $11.29/56oz=20cents/oz
   
   Consider, too, that this is their (absrdly overpriced) Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey that they claim is discounted by half (!)
   here at .88/oz By those (unrealistic) standards the .40/oz price is still a super deal.
   
   Objections:
   
   

• "It's clearly a mistake, they won't honor it."
  
  They will. See this thread for a (now dead) similar deal
  
  If they ship the wrong thing? (Like, say, a single container?) Amazon returns are dead easy and you might even get a gift card for your troubles if you complain to customer service.
  
  You won't be charged until they ship so BUY NOW and think about it. You can always cancel.
  
  
• "It doesn't ship for a really long time"
  
  True. "Usually ships within 4 to 6 weeks." If that's an issue this might not be the deal for you.
  
  For the record, I went in for 10 which is 35 lbs for 112$. Know of a better deal? Please tell us about it.
  
  
• "I bet it's near expiration date"
  
  This product was just introduced. I gotta think they are waiting on manufacture/delivery before shipment (hence the shipping delay).

Optimum Nutrition does a hydrolised whey protein isolate which I have found to be the easiest on my stomach.

Chicken breast or turkey breast as a staple for one of your meals will help a lot. Chicken breast has approximately 25g protein per 4oz serving at only around 120 calories. Typically I eat double that for dinner every (or almost every) night. I also eat cottage cheese, jerky, lunch meat, string cheese, greek yogurt (Yoplait has 100 calorie greek yogurt with 14g of protein per serving). I also drink milk with dinner and that provides a little protein as well. Protein shakes can also add some substantial protein in your diet as well, such as this one (24g protein for 120 cal) or this one (30g protein/140 cal).

Essentials

• A great multivitamin-probably more tailored for the athletic - I take and recommend something like GNC Mega Men's Sport
  
• Fish oil capsules - I currently use Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega
  
• Whey Protein - Gotta love ON! The only thing I find better than their gold standard is Platinum Hydro Whey though it's pricey!
  
• BCAAs, for pre/during/and post workout (mix with your protein shake!) - Again I'd go with either ON's brand or Xtend
  
  Optionals
  
  
• Pre-Workout Stimulant - I don't currently use one but if I did it'd be Jack3d which has some Creatine Monohydrate with caffeine. Emphasis on the stimulant
  
• Creatine - Only 2 types you should look for, and it's probably better to get the powdered versions over capsules. Recommend Prolab's Monohydrate, which is the most common/most studied one, and/or Creatine Ethyl Ester (or CEE)Which is my choice. CEE Is monohydrate with an extra ester molecule attached to help absorption. (That's why there's so many friggin' kinds of creatine out there-to help absorption-since monohydrate's rate is in the single digits at best) Recommend nothing but Primaforce's CEE. (Again, I'd go for powder over capsules)
  
• Casein Protein - Take it before bed. I just trust ON's brand when it comes to protein for their good reputation but if you're happy with another brand, have at it

>for all intensive purposes

The phrase you're looking for is "for all intents and purposes," though it doesn't fit particularly well in that context anyway.

Peanut butter is a good alternative, as are whey isolate and casein protein. Your best bet is to just eat more in general though.

ON has a Hydro Whey that is hydrolyzed. I use the natural gold product personally. THat hydro stuff is expensive.

ON hydrowhey is very keto friendly and the flavors have taste to it

Hydro Whey

This stuff shouldn't give you breakouts, never does for me. Pretty much the most premium protein you can buy. That's because the process they put it through, no lactose.
You could be getting acne from milk, dairy and any of the extra fat/protein you're consuming. If you wanna know how I got rid of my bad acne lifting, you can pm.

I'm about to pick up my second go around of protein and with that "study" that was talking about what's in proteins I'm a little concerned. It seemed like Jym protein is the "best" in terms of knowing what's in it. However, it's a little more expensive and since I'm a beginner, I figured that a cheaper protein wouldn't be terrible.

So, I originally decided on ON hydrowhey and Cellucor Casein.

My goal is to start sort of lean bulking but more focused on the bulk part of that. So, what got me kind of confused then was in that thread talking about the different types of protein MyProtein was mentioned where I can get 11lbs for $60. So I can get over double the amount of protein (my casein and whey) for the same price as one tub of Whey.

Is that too good to be true? What's the consensus on MyProtein?

Lastly, do I need BCAA if I'm on a bulk?

This is the protein that I use



And I use this as a meal replacement/after workouts

Found this only one gram of carbs per serving.

Would you say that there's any major difference between the protein you're talking about and this ?
