Both are good, ON is the traditional can't-go-wrong brand.

I'd go with ON's gold standard whey...but compare the amino acid profile,the carbs., and protein content per serving. I believe ON's whey was voted best of 2005.

I take NxCare ISO XP. 45g per scoop, and extremely low carb, tastes good too.

I have the Dymatize Elite Whey protein right now. The best tasting protein I've ever used. $20.99 for a 5lb tub. Get the samplers of each flavor and try them out. I have the 5lb tub of Butter Cream Toffee. I also liked the Berry Blast and Orange Dreamsicle.

MUSCLE MILK serving size 75 grams
Total Calories: 348
Calories From Fat: 162
Total Fat: 18 g 28%
Saturated Fat: 8 g 40%
Cholesterol: 3 mg 1%
Sodium: 200 mg 8%
Potassium: 595 mg 17%
Total Carbohydrates: 12 g 4%
Dietary Fiber: <2 g 8%
Sugars: 6 g
Protein: 32 g 64%

higher in fat but good fat (MCT)...as far as cost goes that's going to vary if you shop online or you shop locally at a health food store...I used to get mine online, I ordered two buckets at a time at around $22.00 a piece. For me either way was cheap because I used to work at Better Nutrition, but prosource is the way to go.

Muscle Milk tastes good because it's got a lot of fat and carbs in it compared to other whey proteins.

muscle milk is a not a straight whey it's a blended protein...and my previous post listed the fat and carb content of the protein and the fats are MCT's, but none the less the fat content is relatively high.

ON.. from what i've read it's the most consistent and 23g's of protein is more than the other brands I think.

I get them in 10lb bags, so good.

I use ON also. Got it at Rite Aid cause of the price, tastes really good also (vanilla ice cream or something) mix in with milk and bananas in blender.

I'm pretending to be a vegetarian and have tried a lot of different protein powders, I'm going to stick with ON from now on.

It's actually 24g right now

And how much do you pay for the 10lb bags? The store I goto doesnt carry them, but I've seen them online.

rodxx, check out 1fast400.com

10 lb bag cost 47.99 if im not mistaken


i just placed my order right now.

For some reason, the 5lb tub has different nutritional specs than the 10lb bag... (not by alot , just the calorie content is a little diff)

(i only know this becuase i have both delivered and compare)

Damn thats cheap as hell! Funny/Sad thing is GNC sells the 5lb for around 47.99 lol

I go through the 5lb jugs like nothing. I easily use 3-5 scoops a day. I also use ON Casien protein, which is pretty good quality as well. I do a Casien/Whey blend 50/50 for a MRP shake. Or a pre bed shake ill do straight casien.

Is 1fast400, the same as bulknutrition.com? I'm guesssing its the same company. Thanks for telling me about them, ive heard of them in past and think instead of going to the store ill just order a huge amount online at once. Do you think the protein and all the supplements are fine being shipped (heat, etc)?

BTW, Have you ever tried Bulk CEE, basically there generic form of CEE? I hear its pretty damn good.

I know, i just felt it was worth mentioning. It's not really fair to compare the taste of MM with a normal whey.

Anyone try ON's "Any Whey" protein? It doesn't have a taste, but is on the low side for protein (17g vs. my regular ON 23g). I'd like this because I can use it in anything, like they say. Put it in anything you eat, or I could make any flavor shake I want rather than the flavor whey I get.
