What is your intended use for this protein?

For post-workout I am rather fond of a 50% CFM / 50% Hydro Whey mix.

also, how long can 4 pounds keep in the fridge ?

I have had no shelf-life issues (taste. smell. consistency, etc.) with leaving it at room temperature for several months at a time. I just dump it out of the bag and into an empty tub from another protein powder (like Optimum Whey); and keep the cover on, of course.

You have to remember to add in % for sweetner! All this is unsweetned and taste like crap!

ok cool,

so this is what i got, 50% CFM /50% Hydro Whey for post-workout..

and 50 %CFM 50% Miccerlar Cassein pre-workout (throughout day and before bed) .

i think this pretty perfect.

im not adding any sweeteners because i like to add honey, bananas and berries, which comes out very sweet for me.

any more suggestions abour the formulas ??

thankX

I'd not spend the money on casien except for bedtime protein.

Like Shadow, I have no issues with storage and it keeps for months. Course, I don't have a nifty room dedicated to supplement storage....

Otherwise your formulas look good.

so should i do 100 % CFM pre workout /throughout day and before bed, instead of 50/50 with cfm/cassein ??

Use casien before bed.

Use whey (whatever form you prefer) the rest of the time.

You are forgetting egg and milk. They also have their place.

Yeah, they are good for reducing cost, that's about it.

In place of the Micellar Casein, consider Milk Protein Isolate instead. Micellar is very good, but is also very expensive.

Milk Protein Isolate is really a mix of ~20% whey and ~80% casien, with the casein portion being the same high quality as the micellar, at a much cheaper cost. It may be the best overall protein for the price.

the reason i asked about the micellar cassein is because of an article i read today i beilieve in ironman magazine about whey and cassein. it said that taking whey throughout the day is a mistake, it should only be taken post workout. for all the other times, micellar cassein or atleat 50/50 cassein and whey should be consumed. because it brakes down much slower and has a steady slow supply of protein for the body, instead of whey, which burns up quick leaving the body in a catabolic state. where its actually tearing down muscle instead of building. using my own logic, i think this makes much sense. so im going to start using cassein and whey mixture throughout the day and night, and 100% whey isolate for post-workout . !!!!!!

ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANYONE AT PROTEINCUSTOMIZER ON THE PHONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey how do you measure out customizer protien, they dont ship scoops with their formulas ???????

thanks

They should give you a list which tells you, if its 1/3cup for xx protein or 1/2cup for xx protein.

you mean one of those measuring cups right ? because i have cups of all different sizes.

or maybe a scoop from my old proteins.

The scoop wont do you any good, yes a measuring cup. I have had protein with 70cc scoops and 90cc, and 68cc blah blah blah, its going to depend on the formula.

I only have a proteinfactory sheet and pretty much I was using either 1/3 or 1/2 cup measurements. Sometimes I would get the sheet sometimes I would not, but the website DOES say - so I would hope ProteinCustomizer is the same, check the site yet?

yea i checked, and it doesnt give explicit instructions. but it does say like 100 g of this particular protein contains this amount of protein/lactose/fat etc..............so i guess im going to buy an electric scale and measure out like 100g each time i make a shake. i cant think of any other ways....

Basically, a scoop from any protein (not an MRP like muscle milk)will do. Yes, they come in different sizes, butif its a pure whey, it'll will be very close to the same.

If pure yes, but flavoring (choc vs vanilla) for instance can change it and I am a little picky.

i received my proteins recently, here is a quest for ya.

this is what i did, i mixed 1/2lb of cassein with 1/2 of whey for PRE-workouts

and

1/2lb of whey and 1/2lb whey isolate for POST-workouts.

what do you fellas think about this ?

also, i mixed like 2 cups of this and 2 cups of that, is that pretty accurate ? because each protien is different texture and volume.

thanks
