I've recently bought some of the impact whey isolate from myprotein after reading good things about it on here, but after mixing it up and drinking it, it seems to be really watery compared to other protein powders i've used in the past, even though the instructions say to add half as much water/milk than the other products.

Just wondering what other peoples thoughts are on this?

Aswell as being thinner it's also not as sweet as other ones i've had in the past, eg Chemical Nutrition Pro-MR and Pro-Mass, Extreme Nutrition Extreme Protein etc, is the thickness of these other supplements due to extra additives such as sugars etc?

I'm using this stuff at the moment(mint choc) and i don't find it any thinner than maximuscle promax i've used in the past.

I use it in a shaker with 1 scoop (35g i think) with 250-300ml of water and 2 ice cubes and just wolf it down.

I have also used USN Weight gainer which was like a stupidly thick yougat to drink! Not nice at all

snedboy

Thats absolutely bang on the button m8

Add more scoops if you prefer it thicker or less water or use semi-skimmed milk

Benni

Is this a protein you would reccomend? I will soon be near the end of my protein, so will be looking for another one. I would like somewhere in between cost and quality, if that makes sense.

Dangerous Malcolm..

I use their impact whey stuff and just add enough water for a nice consistency. I like it milkshake like........

Red16

I mix 2 scoops (50g) of the impact whey isolate in a shaker with 150-200ml of water and its not too bad then, but if its mixed as the packet says its really watery and awful to drink!

The [b]impact whey isolate from myprotein was recommended by numerous people on here when i was having a read through old threads recently, here's a link to it

[b]Keiron suggested Holland And Barrett for protein powder saying they have it on special offer at half price... Godzilla responded to this to say that worked very well for him when he used it, but there were also a lot of H&B haters on that thread

Thought this might be the case.

Me too.

Kieron

I've still not tried the myprotein stuff although I will get round to it. I just couldn't ignore the special offer of the H&B stuff. Does me fine and I stand by everything on that thread that we are being too anal looking so deep into the amino percentages etc.

I will order some myprotein stuff one of these days though.

Just one thought going back to the H&B thread. Sned gave the properties of mixing myprotein per serving and by doubling it you guys are possiblity intaking too much protein in a short time span? If you make them too thick/strong you are possibly shitting out what you body cannot absorb? I may have been misinformed but I was once told/or read that your body can only absorb something like 30 grams of protein per hour??? Its best to drink those stong shakes slowly over time. Its only the same as drinking two weak shakes over the space of a couple or three hours anyhow....

Red16

Fair enough Kieron... i've certainly got nothing against the H&B stuff tbh.

Good point about the quantity of powders used in our shakes compared to the amount of protein your body can use in one go, i seem to remember years ago reading/hearing that, think i'll have bit read on that subject.

snedboy

They recommend no more than 80grams of protein per sitting so that means a meal or shake so its fine doubling dosage up

Benni

Would 40 grams and then 40 grams 2 - 3 hours later not be better? More spaced out. Thank's for the link too, Red. Once my 4.5kg tub of what I have now runs out, I'll order some. What flavour you lot reccomend? I have my Banana at the mo' and fancy strawberry but I think I might find it sickly?

Benni.

snedboy

Better would be 80g then 2-3hrs later another 80g i like to aim for 60g per sitting

Benni

I can't afford that much... Not to mention I reckon I'd wouldn't make the toilet before it took it's effect. Can you confirm if it's true that raw eggs don't work, and we have 'Rocky' to thank for that bad idea? It's what I read which didn't seem right.

Benni.

snedboy

I know plenty people who buy 5lt jugs of pre-split egg yolks so you only get the whites in it and add a few hundred ml to a shake

I wouldnt say it dont work but ide rather cook them in some way than eat them raw

Red16

No worries matey, chocolate is quite nice.

Don't know if they work or not when raw but i couldnt do it, it'd be like downing lots of man milk

Benni

I tried it once and was about to throw it up when the clump of yellow came, and I did throw it up. Spat it all over the kitchen.

marky_g

im using the impact blend, use 50g's with 400ml skimmed milk, abit watery (extra half scoup sorts that) and tastes like shit if u dont use milk, but fuk its its like 40 quid for 5kg!!!!!!!!!

Benni

That's cheap?

Kieron

Benni, for 5kgs yes mate, very. A normal size tub that you'd get is 1Kg (or sometimes 900g) and cost between Ł15-30 depending on the brand and where you buy it from.

snedboy

Im using this at moment http://www.wheyconsortium.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?id=2.Cheapest in country im sure at moment.its unflavoured and at Ł37.59 for 1 5kg tub delivered or 2 for Ł70.66 delivered is pretty awesome!!

Atleast then you can buy all diff flavours and not get sick of same flavoured shake all the time

Red16

if the quality of that wheyconsortium stuff is good thats a real bargain snedboy

Benni

Can I buy that flavoured? If not, how do I flavour it?

Benni.

marky_g

yer its well cheap as said it abit watery but its got all the protein i need so fuck how it tastes lol

im goin to try there meal replacment next ment to be very good

snedboy

Benni just add hot choco,cocoa,mint choco etc etc see them at supermarket with all sorts of flavours now.Can even use that stuff you flavour milk with but ide highly recommend NOT using the choco stuff of that just dont taste right at all but the strawberry is nice

Kieron

Nesquik or Crusher

Benni

How will these do for my weight loss?
