    Due to allergies the whey has got to go, and I'm on the market for an alternative that is consumable.

    Rice protein, pea protein.

    Actual food is always a good alternative too. Egg whites are almost entirely protein.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    I've bought the powdered egg protein once. Didn't taste as good as whey but it wasn't bad.

    Lean chicken breast and egg whites are pretty much pure protein and not very expensive.

    If you want something on the go, I sometimes mix soy protein in nonfat milk.
    I like the taste some people do not. Its not a strong taste so if you mix with chocolate milk you cant even taste it.

    sense it is all but a closed thread

    ill ask without fear of hijacking allegations

    how does casein compare in taste to whey
    ive been told that it is equally beneficial to you at almost all times of day aside from directly post workout (some believe it is better post workout than whey)

    Taste sucks and smells bad to me. I tried Lipotropic from LG. Sorry, I forgot to notice the result. It was long time ago. But if you care about your body, then you should care too much about the taste.
    My two cents.

    I noticed that some experts say that egg yolk will not have any effects on my cholesterol level, while website of Mayo Clinic seems to suggest it has. I am little confused. My question is, if egg yolk has no effect on my cholesterol, then why most people take like six egg whites and two whole eggs instead of eight whole eggs?

    Do you mean egg yolk has more calories and fat?

    Only 70 calories and 4.5 gm. total fat per whole egg. And saturated fat is only 1.5 gm.

    So whatcha sippin on?

    I have been taking brown rice protein powder made by Sun Warrior Products.
    No more feeling bloated and gassy all the time and it actually taste a lot better then other rice proteins I have tried. It's a great alternative to the traditional whey. Go to squidoo to find the best prices for this product. Seriously, after taking this protein powder I will never go back to whey. Hope this helps you and let me now how you like it. Any questions feel free to contact me.
