Do I have to use EAS Whey Protein? What about...

[djfatneck]

Whey Tech Pro 24 by Body Tech?

Im on day 2 of 84. So Im using this first week to get off to a proper start.

I meant to stick to the guidelines of the program but while I was in Vitamin Shop the sales associate suggested I try Whey Tech instead of Myoplex because its half the price and contains more protein.

I took his advice and bought the Whey Tech and just grabbed a few myoplex protein bars to maybe use as snacks here and there.

Feedback?

It comes down to what works for you. Many of us have tried lots and lots of supplements and have found flavors, types (bars, RTDs, powder, etc.).

The bars are great - the powder is good as well - but as the sales guy suggested - there are other options to consider.

if you are entering the offical bodyforlife challenge then you must use at least 1 eas product but if you are just doing bodyforlife for yourself and not entering the competition then you can do wotever the hell you like.

be careful though cos there is a lot of garbage supplements on the market. ive never heard of whey tech so i cant advise you on that but i will advise you to do some research on it.

and one more thing , are you sure it has more protein in it than myplex ? myplex has a wopping 42g and there any manner powders out there that have that much in it, the most ive ever seen apart from myplex is 30g

You're right Yakuba, I was duped. Whey Tech only has 24g (hence "Pro 24")of protein. I should have stuck to the script. Thing is when I walked into the place (Vitamin Shoppe) it was sort of information overload because there were a million and one different supplements.

Oh well, when Im done with this one, or if it doesnt produce results Ill switch over to Myoplex.

I did try a Myoplex protein bar last night after my cardio though, it was pretty damn good. Ill buy the bars for snacks.

Heres a pic of Whey Tech Pro 24 that the guy at Vitamin Shoppe suggested and I bought.

i thought something didnt sound right when u sed it had more protein in it than myplex.

from my own personal experience here is the supplements that ive found to be trustworthy:

*maximuscle (i dont use it anymore though cos its too expensive)
*myplex (i only have 3 servings a week cos its too expensive. i just use it for post workout)
*optimum nutritions gold standard 100% whey ( top quality stuff, tastes great and you get a massive tub of 80 servs for a great price)
*eas 100% whey (best price on the market and its top quality stuff)

Speaking of EAS 100% Whey, I saw that when I was looking for the Myoplex. The tub of EAS 100% Whey was like...$20-30 if I remember correctly. Whats the difference between EAS 100% Whey and Myoplex?

its $20 dollars for 30 servings which is just about the best price u'll ever get for a top quality whey protein product.

the differencd is that myplex is a meal replacement. myplex contains as many carbs as say a bowl of pasta or a jacket potato so u take myplex on its own. as for the 100% whey its just protien (no carbs) so you would have that plus a carb portion e.g a bowl of pasta or a peice of fruit etc.. . also you can take a whey protein shake with your normal meal to increase the protein content e.g if you had chicken and pasta you could ahve a whey shake too (but be careful cos anymore than about 55g protein per meal is too musch and will be converted to fat).

myplex has about 40 g protein were as the whey has about 24g (this is the normal amount for a simple whey protein shake)

[Rhone]

The whey is just protein. The Myoplex is a full meal replacement, so in addition to the protein it also contains carbs (and a decent amount of vitamins and minerals). With protein powder, you need to add a carb to it yourself to make a full meal out of it.

I've tried only two brands of Whey protein so far, and hands down EAS stuff tastes SO FLIPPIN GOOD!!! The chocolate tastes like hot chocolate. The GNC stuff tastes like....well chalk. But I've not tried any of the other brands.

I was in our local GNC store and heard something interesting. I don't know whether its true or not, but it was in regards to EAS products. Apparently, the sales person there, who seemed very knowledgeable and answered all my questions with no problem, mentioned that EAS is generally the leader in the field as far as research and development. Many of the others just copy them and therefore can charge less because their research department would be much smaller, if it exists at all. He wasn't at all pushing EAS, just explaining why they are more expensive. I have heard the same in regards to why tylenol is more expensive than say a no name pain killer.

Anyone else know about that with EAS?

[wvatmguy]

Yeah Enaud that stuff is top notch!!! I buy mine from Amazon.com. It's GREAT!!!

[Joel]

The best place to get it is at Find Similac, EAS, Ensure and More - Abbott Nutrition Store EAS is owned by Abbott. If you buy $50 or more you get free shipping. You can't go wrong. You can get all EAS products here.
