anybody know any good protein powder thats tastes good with water? the only one i tried that taste decent was nlarge2.
 
Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey Chocolate tastes good in water with a little safflower oil added. Nothing's gonna taste as good in water as it does in milk.

At night I mix my EAS Simply Whey powder with water and ice and it's okay. I also mix my EAS Myoplex MRP with water and ice for my afternoon meal, it tastes fine.

I'm with Prince on this one. Damn tasty!
 
I only mix mine with milk. Water doesn't give the taste for some reason
 
EAS Simpily Whey Strawberry is nice and not too heavy on the sugars. I guess your mixing with water for a cut, right??

Aren't we wasting protein with 'just' mixing it with water? Doesn't protein convert to glucose without the presence of fat or fiber?
 
Where did you hear that??:confused:

Without the presence of a carb source, protein is converted to glucose in the liver.

As far as 'hearing' that, I learned this information many moons ago from Dr. Pain. I have since found plenty of scientific and biologic resources confirming this information, Rosco (Pco Train?).
 
Just mix it with skim milk, no fat and the same protein as regular milk.

Well, if that's the case, most of the protein out is converted to glucose. I agree flax or some other kind will slow the absorbtion...the carbs are what is breaking down into sugar.

Flax will slow absorption down, but there is conflicting information whether fat actually can be converted to glucose.

Regardless, fiber is the best option. It's a carb source and will allow amino's to be properly absorbed. Which is why peanut butter is such a 'rad' food supplement. Fat, Fiber, with additional protein... It's a BBer's Ancient Chinese Secret.

IMO, I think some can, depending on what your energy needs are.The rest is stored!
 
I dare someone to show me one study(s) done by a reputable performance lab that shows adding fats slows down the modulation of proteins.
 
(EDIT: this in response to dg806's last post)

Agree, but mostly disagree! Fat will be stored when there is a high presence of glucose in the blood stream (insulin spikes...).

If you are getting your energy from carb sources, then you will definitely have fat storage. Which is why a low-fat diet often works with people who eat a lot of high-carb food items.

But energy needs can be converted to stored and digested fats. It's a matter of regulating carb intake and utilizing slow-burning or complex carbohydrates. I'm against ketosis diets and I'm even opposed to 'Caveman' diets. It's easy to transition a lifestyle-diet towards fiberous vegetables, eating moderate healthy (EFA) fats, and eliminating simple sugars. Bulks are easier this way, because you are still involving a high intake of calories, but not seeing the same 'fat' gain as you would on a conventional high-carb bulk.

What is caveman diet??

It's a fad diet which is based on the conclusion that 'if basic cavemen lived on nothing but animal protein and animal fats and they maintained a low-body fat %, than this diet should give me a low-bodyfat %, too!'.
