Just wondering where everyone gets their whey from.

I just finished up a 5lb tub of SmartPowders vanilla icecream whey for 37.99. 72 servings, and 22g protein per scoop. It surprisingly tasted great for how cheap it was. They also offer a 10lb'er for $70.99

Found another site called TrueNutrition that sold bulk/custom orders. You could mix/blend proteins, add enzymes/electrolytes/vitamins/minerals for .60-.80 cents per lb. Whey protein concentrate on there was 7.39lb with a discount offered at 16+ lbs. I haven't heard anything about them, so I'm hesitant to order.

If anyone has a decent source for cheap protein, post em up! The norm seems to be $45-60 for 5lbers. Protein doesn't last in my house, so I don't really care for anything other than price/servings.
 
I'm currently using Syntrax Nectar. It's a Whey Isolate. One scoop is 23 grams of protein. I'm currently using the Cappuccino flavor and it's not that bad. It's not the best tasting protein that I've ever used, but it's definitely not the worst either. I only use Whey Isolate proteins now, and I like the results. Lean muscle building and gives your body only what it needs without all of the extra bullshit for "bulking."

The other Whey Isolate that I've used in the past is Dymatize ISO-100, Hydrolized Why Protein Isolate. 24 grams of protein and 1.5 grams of Carbs. It has hands down been the best tasting protein powder that I've ever tasted. I usually get the Cookies and Cream flavor, and it even has little flakes of chocolate in it. I looked forward to the protein shakes every day. I got great results with that as well, however I'm trying out this Syntrax stuff with my current supplement regime.

Neither one of them is very expensive. Just shop around on different websites for the best price.

I order from these guys:
http://www6.netrition.com/

Shipping is pretty quick and the prices have always been great.
 
TrueNutrition.com (formerly TrueProtein) is awesome, but their shipping is hella expensive
 
I've always used Optimum Nutrition. Right now I'm using their Gold Standard 100% Whey as my morning shake. I use their Pro Complex (1 scoop) and Casein (1 scoop) as my post WO shake. I might have to look into a few of the ones you have listed as an alternative to my early morning shake. BB.com always seems to have the best prices once you figure in shipping.
 
Vitacost.com. I get everything from there. 5 dollars shipping for whatever you order.

Thanks Dave, I wondering about their shipping price.

Dymatize Elite Gourmet Whey Twin Pack, 2 x 5lb $71.90

I just found this deal, and its a flat rate $6 shipping or so. It was nice to be able to get more than 1 flavor and a deal, 71 servings per tub 8-). Most places were coming out to $50 a 5lber after shipping.

Not a fan of the price of Wheybolic60 Thunderhorse. You can get 3x the servings on any other brand for the same cost. I've worked at GNC once upon a time, just not a fan of their sales tactics/quota's.
 
Cholestrol is a bit high for the Dymatize. Yeah I'm not a fan of their price either. But I got it at the PX and for a deal, I was only going to buy one because it was 30% off...I got the second one for 50% off. Obviously they were trying to move product.

+1. I love ON products. I use they're Whey, Casein, and Pro Complex. All great products and pretty reasonable compared to a lot of stuff out there today. Also if you want something pre-made on the go, look into Core Power(Formerly known as Athlete's HoneyMilk) 26 Grams of protein, all natural ingredients.
 
I'm still unsure how to edit posts but *their, regarding the grammatical error in my last post lol
 
As long as it's not an constant ongoing issue/you're not a tremendous douche nozzle, we usually overlook small grammatical errors. ;-)
Just don't ask if you should join the Marines and still go out partying all the time. :-"

I don't think it'll be a continuous problem hah. The other guy you described definitely sounds like a "douche nozzle"

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but there are dozens of other protein supplements (and real food for that matter) that don't have any carbohydrates.
