Protein recommendation?

[lewabbit]

Dear coaches,

I trust the holiday season is treating you all well. I would be grateful for help with this subject.

I am planning to use protein supplements to hit my required macros. I saw two brands in the right price range. One was a concentrate, and the other, an Isolate.

The labels on them both indicate they both contain 24 grams of protein. In this case, which one is the better choice- the concentrate or the isolate?

Many thanks- happy new year to you, and yours. Your help and patience on this forum is always appreciated.

Either would be fine. I currently have a big bottle of isolate.

[lewabbit]

Many thanks, Tom. Great new year to you.

P.S: any advice on a brand you think provides most bang for your buck?

[Tom Campitelli]

You are not in the US, correct? I have a feeling that shipping and availability will determine value on your end more than anything else.

If you have problems digesting dairy, isolate will be better.

[lewabbit]

Thank you, Paul- yes, I do have a dairy problem.

I appreciate the response. Happy new year.

I've been on a Dymatize Natural Elite kick lately. Mostly because I'm an elitist.

May I also recommend, to you and all my lactose-intolerant brothers out there, lactase drops for your milk. Game changer.

Happy 2014!
