Started lifting again after an extremely long hiatus a few weeks ago. Did the typical uneducated consumer thing and bought the first thing I saw on the shelf and have learned that I probably overpaid for unnecessary shit. I'm about out of that stuff now and will be looking for a new protein that I could use long term. I like to find good brands and stick with them especially for consistency sake since I'm just starting out.

I'd prefer 100% whey concentrate but it seems like everything is a concentrate/isolate blend. Not a deal breaker but it seems like the most logical option. I'm open to feedback about that point if I'm mistaken.

Another nice option would be something I could take daily. Most days I can get close to my 0.8/1 gram per lb goal but there are days where I fall short and it would be nice to have something that's not jacked with whatever post workout bullshit they cram into this stuff (creatine etc.). The powder I have currently has added amino acids and "green blend digestive something or another" that I don't feel like I need any extra of so I'm really only consuming it post workout.

Any input is appreciated.

I take Orgain from Costco, chocolate flavor with the probiotics included. I used to take the Costco whey protein that is in the brown packaging, but it has sucralose so I switched it up.

Any particular reason for plant based protein?

faggot vegans is my first thought, they say everything including sex is better when done with plants. Steak is great for muscles so go meat it's what predators eat since cows are strong but have no definition like pigs so go the meat route.

I'm trying to get most of my protein from food sources but I'm also trying to ditch some fat before I attempt a lean bulk so I'm running a calorie deficit. I already eating chicken breast once if not twice a day. 140 calories for 25g of protein is an easy call some days.

As far as why plant based protein, it seems like a less than ideal option when you look at serving size vs protein content. But who knows maybe the guy is lactose intolerant or has a dairy allergy. I'm not here to pass judgement.

They always have sucralose in the whey proteins, this one Orgain doesn't and has probiotics. I buy a few whenever they go on sale.
