Exactly....peanut butter and banana is a perfect blend with protein powder....I'll even pack a bunch of blueberries into a protein mix...just a point of interest, back in my hockey days all we had was Ovaltein, an hr before lacing up I would mix 2 raw eggs, a banana and a heaping tblspn of honey into a measure of Ovaltein with warm water, everything went into the blender and I'd gulp it down...I did it religiously for about 10years, no matter how big of a dinner I had...other guys would cook up a steak but the only drawback to that is that cooked food before a game always leaves one to want excessive water during the game and water will slow down movement. But protein is vital to strength.

Garbage. Eat beef.
If you want to spike your insulin, add rice or unrefined carbohydrates.
Had a fat friend who was on a stupid calorie restriction diet. Started spiking his insulin with a protein shake that lacked the satiety of dietary fat. Two years later: He is still fat.
Just a plain steak. I can straight up feel myself getting fatter lol. Chicken and seafood seem to work better for me. But now that I've got this scale I can see what really works over a week's time etc.. Looks like I'm starting off 20-24% bf lol.
Looking at google...
beef appears to be 250 calories / 26g protein per 100 g
chicken appears to be 240 calories / 26g protein per 100 g
salmon appears to be 210 calories / 26g protein per 100 g
shrimp appears to be 100 calories / 26g protein per 100 g

Pure whey is probably my next one! I got a whey + soy lecithin one this round to start / try... That was the one with the least ingredients at the store..
Whey protein isolate, my favorite is Isopure. I assume you're using it as a supplement. Best to rely on whole foods and then supplement to meet your protein goal. Good luck.

That's the one I got awesome thanks! Was looking for any one they had that didn't have any extra stuff so I could use it for cooking (currently I'm putting a meal in the pressure cooker then just blending it afterwards with tomato sauce, was making these meals with the recent wisdom teeth removal).
Not super excited it seems to have soy in it (wtf?). Wouldn't estrogen go against muscle growth? Why tf they do that? However definitely liking it's just the whey without whatever the poisonous heck flavoring etc.
Highly insuligenic for anyone concerned with metabolic health. If you're fit and active I suppose it ain't bad for you to have 25g a day to boost intake, but focus on eating real foods like meat for the bulk of your protein needs.
Don't be a lazy nigger, bulk cook meat so you'll have it around and you eat that instead of some processed garbage instead.
Probably one of the better ones because unlike wheat and soy and all these other protein sources way comes from milk and so it's not been exposed to a bunch of pesticides that have been sprayed on it. And a lot of people think milk and milk protein are the purest forms of food because obviously they're the only food that a baby needs to grow very rapidly and develop in a very healthy way.
Hydrolyzed or isolate helps you build muscle and lose weight because it’s more “pure” protein without all the other nutrients that milk has.
So it’s not better - being stripped of all those delicious nutrients that will also help you gain weight - it’s just more pure and should be used if you want to keep your mass down and keep your muscle gain more efficient.

Definitely looking to keep muscle mass up to keep metabolism up... to burn off more calories per day by default.. So seems like a high protein to calorie rate is desirable. Whey seems to do that.
I like the powder route because it seems like a good choice for adding into sauces / soups / blended food ya. Would prefer the taste be as neutral as possible as to not change the taste of the food it's added to.

In my experience, beef and salt only is a fast way to get lean. Carnivore diets are difficult to uphold long term.

So far Fairlife is the only one that doesn't leave me feeling shitty. Conviently, it has no soy. Not saying there's a connection...
I am unsure if you're solely looking down the powder route.
