popular proteins and their actual protein content

[vibrant]

Some people have tested popular protein products for the actual protein content. Here is a list of the results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ag9uT-E4EIL7dFZPZnR0WVZybGtFWnRKNzdKNm9XOVE&toomany=true#gid=0

Here is the original discussion on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/tcpmt/american_pure_whey_is_american_pure_shit/

It's disheartening to see some of the results. We all spend good money on protein and some of these companies are outright scamming.

Make sure the protein you buy is at least from a well known company.

Lots of Supp companies are as shady as fuk. I got ripped off by all the claims from 17-22 yrs old. Ive learned to eat. No protein supps for me. Food is King in my house.

Eye opening.

Amen to this. People criticize big pharma and worship supplements, as if supp comps aren't just as driven by greed as big pharma.

I'll never understand why everyone loves ON 100% whey.. it's not pure WPI it's a shitty blend and it's only like 60% protein!!! Also fucking expensive!

Here's my protein to add to that list. Compare the protein %, and the cost per lb. None of that 50g serve w 20 g protein.

Whey Protein Isolate (http://www.bulknutrients.com.au/products/whey-protein-isolate.html)

Cost per kg (2.2lbs) $27-21 usd

Serving size: 30g
Protein per serve: 26.9g
Protein%: 89.6%
Plus they happily show their amino acid profile to prove no amino spiking, and australian laws are a lot tougher with food so their claimed % is quite likely the true %.
