September Whey Protein Basics and Deals

When it comes to protein powder, anyone can get lost in the thousands of available options.  While we are neither physicians nor nutritionists, we are avid athletes and have vast experience in using protein supplements to complement our diets and our training.  When it comes to protein, think about the most critical aspects of the supplements you are considering:

1. Type of protein (whey, casein, egg, pea, hemp etc)
2. Macronutrient profile (calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates)
3. Free of banned substances (if you are a competitive athlete)
4. Cholesterol content
5. Cost per serving

In this list, we are going to only focus on those powders that meet OUR standards for the above which will conform to the below variables:

1. Whey or mix of whey/casein
2. Low fat, low carb, at least 20gm protein/serving and reasonable calories
3. Free of banned substances
4. <70gm cholesterol per serving
5. ≤$.75 per serving
