I havent bought whey protien for at least 3 months or so. When I ran out of my last 5lb can, I just started eating a can of tuna pwo with some simple carbs.
Honestly, I noticed no difference in muscle accrual or recovery time.
However, I figured id get back on the bandwagon and I headed over to NP to order a 5lb jug of Optimum Whey, which is the brand I always use.
And damn if I didnt nearly **** a brick when I saw its up to $43!!! I knew the price of whey was going up, but this is nearly double what we were paying a year ago.
Personally, I dont think its worth it.
$.53 for 23g of protien seems like an awful lot - Whey is no longer cost effective compared to lean solid sources like chicken, fish, etc.
A 1kg tub of Xtend and a big package of chicken from Sam's Club seems like it would stretch a lot further, and provide better results, for the money.
What do you guys think? I know the fast acting protien is a staple in a lot of our diets - but at its current cost it doesnt seem worth it.
