Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard I buy it in the 10lb bags as that is the most cost effective per gram. Basically you cannot beat this stuff for the price. Unless you are strict vegan or lactose intolerant it is definitely what I would suggest. It has the fewest carbs and lowest number of calories per gram of protein of anything out there and still tastes fine with water and great with milk. There are 18 different flavors; I prefer Double-Rich Chocolate, YMMV. 1 scoop = 24g protein, 5g BCAAs, 3g carbohydrates, 1g fat, and 120 calories ON is owned by a German company and thus complies with German food purity laws. They do systematic batch testing of their products for contaminants like heavy metals, which is a serious health risk. I definitely would not risk consuming protein from a vendor that uses a 3rd party to source their protein; there are too many incidents of Chinese and Indian companies producing contaminated protein due to poor or non-existent quality control. Since it is whey it will get into your musculature in about 30 minutes which is not really a big deal. Some folks prefer blends with other types of proteins with different release rates but this does not appear to be worth it to me. Macro-nutrient timing only produces statistically significant results in about the top 4% of performers (professional athletes, Olympians and so forth) who are already pushing their above average genetic potential. So if you are like me an you want to lose some weight but don't want that weight to be muscle mass you need to lift as heavy as you can 3+ times a week, consume 1.0g-1.2g of protein per lb of body-weight, and maintain a caloric deficit. This protein is a great tool for implementing such an diet/exercise plan.
