Thanks picked up a tub and multis with this
If you can get ON and Costco you can get 5.64 pounds for $49 when it goes on sale. Of course you are stuck with basic vanilla or chocolate.
ON is 24g protein for 31g scoop. This is 25g for a 36g scoop, so more filler.; only 69%. Their isolate is only 30g for a 38g scoop, only 79% which isnt good for isolate; that's basically what ON is (ON is an isolate and concentrate blend).
25g protein * 4 calories = 100 calories
4g carbs * 4 calories = 16 calories
3.5g fat * 9 calories = 31.5 calories
not sure where the last 2.5 calories disappeared to
So roughly 33% overhead (50 calories) of things that are not protein. If you are doing low carb, only 2g sugar/3 net carbs so it is farily keto friendly.
I generally look no more than 10%, max is 20%, so long as its not primarily made up of sugar. However, thats for my goals, not everyones are the same, and fat/carbs aren't necessarily bad depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
I don't have experience with this product but do with Nutricosts Micellar Casein (10% overhead on that one 25g protein @ 110 cals/serving.) I've been happy with it and it is competitively priced comparitively. Will probably buy that one again.
As I've said in other threads though don't break it down by cost/serving, break it down by cost/gram of protein, and never use amazon's cost/oz as a scale. Most seem to list 1 serving as 25g of protein but not all do. Even if your goals include more fat/carbs it's much cheaper/more efficient to throw a spoon of cool whip in or mix with whole milk/powdered milk than pay extra for fillers.
*edit* just noticed only the chocolate pb is 150. the other are 130 cal/serving with 2 net carbs vs 3 and less carbs/fats. That makes the overhead of the other flavors ~24% vs ~33%

I love how clean the unflavored is, it literally just has 2 ingredients.
Edit: Damn.. Just realized this is the concentrate, not the Isolate that I bought.. This has 20 more calories per scoop and 5G less protein, and the scoop is bigger (38g vs 35g)
The Isolate has 30% more protein per gram than the concentrate.. Huge difference.
The concentrate also has a 3 times more fat and 3 times more sodium
It is also easier to comsume greater amounts of protein in forms like this, if your goals require it, if you suppliement throghout the day vs trying to get the same amount via actual foods. It's also cheaper and generally easier to target just protein, whereas with food you often get a mix of protein, carbs and fats (Although with Tuna its just protein and fat if memory serves, but those are generally healthy fats).
I'm no expert but I'd imagine a clean diet with a proper amount of proteins would suffice, this will just potentially help you achieve those goals cheaper and possibly faster, but from my research I've seen articles go both ways on this topic. (That supplementing will get you to your goals faster, vs a clean diet is all you need.) I'm sure genetics and metabolism play a role as well.
All that said you have to become an expert on your own body as everyones genetics are different. It's also important to keep in mind, and get rid of the falsehood that "muscle weighs more than fat." People (myself included in the past) used this as an excuse too discount weight gain. But the average person, in their first year, can gain 20-25lbs of muscle, and 5-10lbs in subsequent years. This is with a fairly intense workout routine.

Whey (especially isolate) is considered to have some of the highest "bio-availability", meaning your body starts to digest and use it within 30 minutes of consumption. So it works well on either end of a workout.
There is some concern about heavy metals in protein powders (especially anything plant based), just like there is about mercury in tuna. From what I've read, Nutricost isn't very forth-coming about WHO does their third party testing or what the results are, so it's kind of "trust me bro" testing as far as I'm concerned, but if that doesn't bother you then it's one of the more cost-effective brands out there as far as their isolates.
