Title: Whey Protein
Post by: bobbarley on 02 August 2013, 20:01
Where's the cheapest place to buy whey protein from?  Or, other cheap alternatives for after a gym session.

Holland & Barratt are doing a good deal on low carb protein and they also price match.

Done it for years and you honestly pay for what you get.
Pay more get more.

Expensive = 2 scoops. cheap = 4 scoops.

I buy mine from Bulk Powders. Recommended highly from the guys on UK Muscle and the chocolate one they sell is the first one I've had that I can actually handle with water rather than milk.

If you do decide to buy from then let me know as if you use a code from me as a referral we both get a fiver towards our orders.

1KG is £14.99.

For unflavoured, which is probably disgusting. Otherwise it's £57.39, which is an identical price to myprotein, who I rather buy from.

Hurricane XS is a different product to normal whey protein anyway, it's an all in one with HMB and creapure.

Different people need different things. I personally just require a protein source as I don't get enough protein for the day.

And using shakes to fill gaps in a good nutrition plan is far from ideal. Use the shakes as a supplement not as a replacement. If you can't get enough protein from your diet alone then you need to make room for it.

I'm only buying it to use after the gym to help give a protein boost and aid in muscle repair. I won't be taking any before sessions or on rest days. I get plenty of protein from other sources.

Might be worth getting hurricane xs then, it's got HMB and creapure and it's only a few quid more than whey isolate  :smiley:
