usn muscle fuel is very nice tasting powder and is only Ł45 for 5kg tub , vanilla and chocalate are the nicest flavour and taste like a milkshake mixed with water, if you want good results from a powder and not to fussed about taste go for optimun 100% whey , all the optimun products get good write ups ,

I bought 2 tubs of the nutrisport whey protein isolate. The first 1 i bought was strawberry and it tasted wank. Then i bought a chocolate flavor 1. It tasted really nice. I was paying 17.95 for a 1kg tub. They only lasted a week. That will turn out to be dear. benni sent me some of the protein he uses. He sent me it on saturday and ive been taking it 3 times a day and ive still got loads left now. I will be going on mp website and order some more.

I took my tub to a friends house and they was all like 'Chocolate milk shake? I'll have one if you don't mind' and in the end I whipped out about 6 shakes and then a load more in the morning. Glad you're enjoying it.

he was at his biggest cos of H&B protein?think steroids prob had more to do with it
fact is it tastes awful and theres much better tasting protein shakes on the market at a fraction of the cost.

Here we go again!

Search this forum mate, we've had this discussion on here a couple of times before.

When the H&B stuff is on offer its not such a bad deal and the vanilla is nice tasting.

That said I now use the myprotein stuff myself and that tastes nice too. Again in vanilla. At the level of training we are on here you would be doing very well to notice a marked improvement over two different brands of whey protein imho. We're not exactly at the level of some professionals who's bodies may respond to varying quality of products. As long as we intake ample protein then brand is irrelevant imho.

i got mine last wednesday,banana flavour. it tastes nice,so nice i think iam getting addicted to it .
iam using 4 bottles a day when doing cardio, and 5 bottles a day when weight training.
it does seem to make me very thirsty,and iam certainly not as hungry/greedy as i was . and i dont seem as tired after a training session,and recover quicker.
so all good up to now.
