RTD Protein Drinks, 60 cents per can plus shipping

Smartpowders.com is having a sale on RTD (ready to drink) Protein shakes. 60 cents / can plus shipping.

50 cans = $50 in NY
*** This deal is only for people who buy RTD's in bulk

I was trying to get around $1 / can which for me (In New York) is about 50 cans. I bought a variety of all 3. Drink the Low Carbs throughout the day and drink the regular ones (with sugar) pre and post workout. The sugar will spike your insulin which tells your cells to store nutrients, and in the case of working out, protein. Don't worry about the sugar calories at all if you time these within 30 minutes pre workout and within 1 hour post workout.

This deal has been running for a little while but I held off on posting this until I was able to try them since it is an off brand. These are insanely delicious! (I highly recommend the low carb)

PS, I'm all for protein powder but there are certain parts of the day where it's not accessible so an RTD is necessity. I'll normally stock Muscle Milk RTD's which are about $4 / drink but amazing tasting. These cans are better tasting than the MM choc and vanilla.

Yes I know a lot about supplements so feel free to ask some questions.

Oh yea, any serious muscle building routine is going to need about 1-2 grams of protein per lb of body weight which is impossible to do without pounding protein constantly. Protein is equally important for weight loss as well.

Not bad for the convience factor. I'm in the middle of my bulking phase at the moment and consuming about 600-800 calories per meal for about 5-6 meals. There are times that I am not able to sit down and have a meal so I chug my shake (gainer shake). Was thinking that this would be a nice convience to have maybe in the car or at my work incase I forget to pack a lunch or shake. 60 cents a can is not bad for 1 serving of approx 300 calories, 30 grams of protein. Probably ends up being a tad bit cheaper to mix it yourself but I might just get this just to have it incase I need it.

Ah the Negative Nancy's struck first...

Sugar is important for working out. The simpler the carb source, the better. Plus, there's a low carb option.

Yes this is bad for lactose intolerant people as are all Whey Protein products

Yep, also note the potassium content. The Regular cans are more of a pre/post workout shake since they have the ideal amount of protein, a lot of simple carbs, and a good amount of potassium. You need all of these pre and post workout.

The low carb option is just plain delicious and good for drinking throughout the day.

I want to reiterate one more time: Even if you are trying to lose fat, do not AT ALL worry about the sugar content if you are in a weight lifting regimen. Do not even count the calories toward your daily calorie intake.

Agreed. If you are only looking for a couple, this deal is not for you. If you are in a serious workout regimen, then this deal will save you a lot of money.

Because I wouldn't buy 100 cans of something I've never tried before. Most of my business is done with a blender bottle and whey.

i'm a personal trainer and have gone through a body transformation of going from 30%+ bodyfat to around 5% lean. sugar is NOT important for working out, if you want to make the argument you need carbs for energy for working out might as well eat the healthiest most natural sugar of fruits

Agreed, an RTD deal would not be for you if you can get all of your daily protein intake from powder.

I have never been big on the RTD's, but that is just me. But, I have also, never really not had the time to mix water in a shake of some sort pretty easily. $0.60 a can is a pretty dang good deal honestly. I would almost buy it without ever trying it out, you could always mix it up with something else if it is that bad.

One thing I always did to help me out was buying those 16oz(?) tupperware type container and load them with mixes, etc and just add water thru-out the day as I drank them. If you're looking for cals, you can never go wrong with grod up oatmeal in a shake.

I'm a bodybuilder and drop from 315lbs bulk to 225lb competition in 8 miserable weeks (not healthy, I know).

The argument for sugar has nothing to do with energy, it's about insulin. Insulin is your storage hormone. At all other times of the day, insulin will be telling your body to store fat which is why it is bad. However, when you are in a heavy lifting regimen and destroying your muscles, you need a shotgun blast of amino acids (protein) before you workout, while you workout, and immediately after you workout. Raising your insulin levels are a must. The sugar itself will be burned off in the anabolic (muscle growth/repair) process which is why the calories are negligible.

One thing I do agree with you on is that natural sugars would be great, but when your body needs a 4:1 carb to protein ratio for optimum muscle recovery, eating half the fruit produce stand is not practical. I am a big fan of huge spoonfuls of unfiltered honey, but there's a cost and a practicality issue there as well.

Where are all the supplement / weight lifting gurus?
