Quite a bit higher cost per gram of protein than this other active deal, but a smaller package.

Math:
3.27Ā¢/g Protein - Optimum Nutrition Whey Blend (Isolate > Concentrate)Price: $22.79 for 2 lbs.10.8% of Protein is Leucine77.4% of mass is Protein80% of calories are Protein
Cost per pound is good for a "quick look", but you have to look deeper than that. Manufacturers manipulate it to fool you.

Example:
- MyProtein Whey Protein Isolate claims to be 88% protein by mass, or 400g of protein per pound.
- ON Gold Standard claims to be 75% protein by mass, or 340g of protein per pound.

So, MyP at $11/lb provides more protein per dollar than ON at $10/lb.

That said, no protein will be a good deal at $13/lb, and most will be a good deal at $8, so it's still good for estimating.

Isopure is the worst for this. 100% of calories are from protein, but only 80% of mass. They intentionally add non-caloric fillers to bring down the cost per pound.

I use amazing Muscle casein and also their whey. Casein is cheapest I could find and they have free shipping on their website. Also Land a promotion here and there.

Tempted to get these for protein ice cream.

This is my thought. Sounds like it would be good in a creami.

Quote from PrimalRage :
I appreciate the help on this, I'm just trying to look for a protein powder that's going to provide me with healthy ingredients. It's hard for me as I've never been guided to the right source and every time I start on a product, a few days later I hear something negative on it. I've been on the Organic Protein Costco sells and I guess it's not so great after all. And again, thanks for the heads up, you saved me.
It's all marketing and fear tactics. Do not waste your money on organic protein. Never pay more than $10/lb. I buy Optimum nutrition and dymatize anytime they go on sale

Good product, but *any* Whey powder above $10 per pound is not a "Slick Deal"

Agreed on the $10/pound threshold. The only whey I'd pay close to that would be the Dymatize isolate Fruity Pebbles.

Lol. I would rather use the better tasting protein powder instead of saving a dollar. Some protein powders end up going to waste because of how awful they taste.

I would much rather have non-caloric fillers than caloric fillers in my protein supplement.

Non-caloric fillers just offset the amount of quality product (macronutrients) your receiving for your money. Generally the point of protein supplementation is not avoidance of calories but a quality dose of calories catered to a specific macro profile and a convenient form factor. If you really wanna save on calories, instead of using a full scoop of protein powder just use a teaspoon. You can make up the difference by adding extra water. Like you said, better to have non-caloric filler such as extra water than to have pesky caloric fillers like dietary protein right? Lol

And if you don't mind extra calories for toppings could use Cinnamon Toast Crunch rolls cereal or Cinnabon cereal, fruity pebbles cereal . I use vanilla protein powder and add whenever specific flavors. Usually I do fruit based so mango , strawberry .", etc
Gonna try a vanilla base with apple sauce and apple pie filling mix

I agree.

Caloric fillers can make a product a no-buy for me. I use powder more when I'm cutting, so extra fat and carbs are not welcome.

Non caloric fillers are usually innocuous - they don't bother me as long as I'm not being fooled into paying for them instead of protein. If there's a lot of filler, I might try to figure out what it is from the ingredient list. Sometimes they are beneficial, like creatine or micronutrients, but I'm still not willing to pay for them. Id rather take that stuff separately so I can dose it properly.

What are your thoughts on Jocko's protein powder? It's tough to find something with natural sweetners vs sucralose, etc...

Never heard of them, but they probably wouldn't be on my radar. I don't want the carbs in natural sweeteners and sucralose doesn't bother me. In fact, I actually add more sucralose to mine because I like it sweet.

If sucralose bothers you, I would recommend an unflavored powder as your most economical route. You can sweeten/flavor it any way you would like and don't have to pay the premium that some of the "super-natural" brands charge.
