70% protein by weight is kinda low for isolate (25g/36g serving). Do all those fillers mean it tastes good?

Also higher calorie - 140cal with 100 of those from protein, again high for isolate. But, sometimes those fillers make it taste better.

I also generally prefer sucralose to stevia - tastes better, although I realize that is an unpopular opinion around here.

This isn't an isolate for all intents and purposes, that saturated fat content defeats the purpose of getting an isolate, and it's mildly worrying that they don't list the cholesterol content even though that's a required part of the nutrition label.

I'm going to get one bag just to see if it has it on the actual basg when I get it in, as I'm curious.

Quote from MostBased :
Sucralose: The Zero-Calorie Trojan Horse You might think you're cheating the system by swapping sugar for Splenda, but your gut bacteria would beg to differ—if they weren't currently under siege. While sucralose is marketed as "biologically inert" (meaning it passes through you without adding calories), current research suggests it's not exactly a neutral observer. It's more like a chaotic houseguest that crashes your digestive party, insults the host, and rearranges the furniture before leaving. Here is the factual breakdown of the "wreckage": The Eviction Notice: Studies, particularly in animal models and emerging human trials, indicate that sucralose can significantly lower the count of beneficial gut bacteria, specifically bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. These are the "good guys" that keep your digestion smooth and your immune system happy. The Glucose Glitch: By altering the microbiome, sucralose may inadvertently induce glucose intolerance. Essentially, your gut gets confused and stops processing actual sugar as efficiently, which is ironic for a product designed to help you avoid blood sugar spikes. The pH Problem: It can alter the pH balance of the intestines, creating an environment where less desirable bacteria thrive. The Cleanup Crew: Probiotics & Prebiotics If sucralose is the hurricane, probiotics are the contractors you hire to rebuild the house. You are absolutely right that you'll need them, but you need a strategy: Send in the Reinforcements (Probiotics): You need to repopulate the good bacteria that were evicted. Look for multi-strain supplements or, better yet, fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, or kefir. Feed the Troops (Prebiotics): Probiotics die if they don't eat. You need specific fibers (prebiotics) found in garlic, onions, bananas, and asparagus to ensure the new bacteria actually stick around. The Peace Treaty: The most effective move is to stop the bombardment. Taking probiotics while still consuming high amounts of sucralose is like trying to bail water out of a sinking boat without plugging the hole first.

The protein source appears to be whey isolate they just added MCT oil which is the fat portion which is not derived from the whey itself.

I get that,the issue is most of the reasons for an isolate, are for people who want lower calories, low or no saturated fats, low cholesterol, it's just a bit worrying they don't even list the cholesterol given there's big differences between some brands levels in isolates, and they're required to list it... Still gonna try a bag though lol

Did you use chatcpt, openai, or Gemini?

You could continue the debate on Moltbook.

Seriously, my insulin sensitivity is fine (improved greatly after losing weight with sucralose) and my poop is unremarkable enough that I don't have to think about that 💩.

How? also, Amazon wants to collect sales tax on this in WA where food is not taxed. For the Nutricost deal they didn't collect sales tax. Very inconsistent. Edit: it looks like it's because this protein lists supplement facts instead of nutritional facts, making it a supplement, while Nutricost is labeled as food. Weird.

Sports Research is one of the most reputable companies, especially in the vitamin industry. Compare their vitamins to other companies and you'll know why it's worth to pay premium.

Mine was $51(w tax) subscribe and save but I think that's because I'm not on max s&s yet and on 10%. Usually get Costco whey. This is slightly cheaper than normal price, but I'm willing to try it from all the raving of the taste!

I think you need to be logged in and when you click on SnS option, there should be an extra 15% off coupon available that you'll need to select.

Keep in mind the chocolate doesn't have as clean of ingredients. Didn't realize that until after I received mine and I can't return it because it's perishable.

I think Amazon is limiting accounts now that use coupons/discount codes often. I haven't been able to use any percentage off discounts for the past month. They just don't show up for me.

When I check the discount code it always says "Something went wrong and this promotion isn't currently shoppable." now. May just cancel Prime if this keeps happening.
