Reddit mentions of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound (Packaging May Vary)

Get that stuff. It's been shown to have the most (usable) protein of any whey supplement.

I would not use a protein powder with creatine in it. Depending on how much protein I get in a day from normal food, I'll adjust how much whey powder I'm taking in (to meet my ~1g/lb body weight/day level). If creatine is mixed in the protein, that means my creatine dose would differ between days. This may be bad because 1) I may not get the 5g dose that is suggested or 2) I may get more than suggested and I'll piss it out which is a waste.

I use this whey: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Vanilla-Cream/dp/B000GISU1M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1377492870&sr=8-5&keywords=on+protein+vanilla+ice+cream

I use this creatine: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Creatine-Powder-Unflavored/dp/B002DYIZEO

I eat alot of the Kodiak cake waffles from my Belgian waffle maker. Lately I've been adding a scoop of protein.

Brings the macros to:

• 500 calories
  
• 63 carbs
  
• 5 fat
  
• 52 protein
  
  Just have to add a bit more water until the consistency is right.

I had trouble hitting my protein goal too. But what I do is mix 1 cup of Fage Total Zero, 1 scoop of protein powder (this is what I use) and 1 cup of any type of berries in the blender. Its really good and loaded with about 50g of protein. I usually have it with a tuna sandwich and BAM! protein goal hit!

Just throwing it out there as an option... Atkins Shakes plus a scoop of Whey Protein Powder (I get mine at Costco, nutrition slightly different than this one). I do a drink for breakfast, a drink for lunch, and it lets me have a hearty dinner.

270 Calories, 4 net carbs, 39 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat per drink. If I get hungry or need a snack I eat sunflower seeds (in the shell, so it takes a while to eat them) or cheese sticks.

I've done a bajillion keto meals for work, but it's difficult to stick to them as I have to spend hours on the weekends prepping. These take some adjusting to, but it couldn't be more convenient.

On vitamin C: Tons of different veggies and fruits have it, some more than others of course but I would like to share that Zucchini has around 60% DV of Vit C, is ridiculously easy to grow, produces a shit ton and cans very well. It's very easy to sneak it into mashed potatoes and its a great addition to bean soups as its kinda like tofu. Easy to digest but make sure OP that you are leaving the skin on!

On protein powder: We keep a 5lb tub of THE BEST VANILLA ICE CREAM protein powder money can buy IMO from Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard

r/fitness swore buy this particular brand for the extreme quality and I'll be damned, the stuff tastes like melted vanilla ice cream.

My favorite smoothie recipe: 1 banana, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 5ish frozen strawberries, and some milk. Play around with frozen blueberries, mango chunks and cherries, too.

I get this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GISU1M

Reasonably priced, has almost no fat or sugar, and is delicious mixed with skim milk.

• Creatine. By it here. It's SO cheap. DO NOT BUY IT ANYWHERE ELSE. They're out of stock right now, but I paid a total of $10 for the 1000 kilograms and the shipping cost.
  
• Whey Protein. This is a good brand, and this is the best price I can find. Also, you'll get free shipping because it's over $35 (assuming you're in 'Murica).
  
• If you think you're diet is inefficient, not getting all your necessary nutrients, you can take a multivitamin. I don't have a link because I don't take them. I should, but I don't.

I thought it was just a glitch i will look at my recipes again. Also i started using this protein! what do you think? it has 3gcarbs(1g Sugar) per 1 scoop(31g) idk if should keep using or if the 1g sugar is okay

Cant help on the cream, I just use heavy cream from the nearest supermarket (just remember to check for the sugars, some brands add it for sweetness or something).

For protein, I like this stuff: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000GISU1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like the flavour as it is, add to almond milk or water for a kinda disgusting but more keto friendly shake, or treat yourself to some real milk! 24g of protein per 30g serving, only 1.2g of net carbs, 1.1g of fat and 113 calories.

Keep going on keto, lost like 44lbs (20kg) on it so far

Unfortunately it's true: http://www.amazon.de/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Vanilla-2270g/dp/B000GISU1M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1301425821&sr=8-1

I like the gold 100 when vanilla ice cream. Pair that with unsweetened almost milk and it tastes like a vanilla milkshake!! I typically do two scoops with a little over a cup of almond milk.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GISU1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.xpdAb81QS5JD

How much does that cost? Standard (not low-carb) whey protein is only $0.71 per serving. And that's 24g protein : 2g carbs.


You'd have to consume ~2.5 servings of that milk to match the protein content of whey and will come with 10g of carbs to match. Unless it costs $2.25 or less, it's cheaper to get whey and a lot less carbs.

In the UK, On Whey is currently [47GBP/2.3kg](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Vanilla-Protein/dp/B000GISU1M/
) which is the 5lb size with 77 servings.

Milk costs roughly 1GBP/Liter in London.

It's 110cal, 1g F, 1g C, 24g P. Mix 1 scoop with this with 2 cups of whole milk (roughly .5L) and you have a gainer shake.

For roughly 1.1GBP you get 413cal - 17g F, 25g C, 40g P

I don't see how you are going to do much better than that.
