Inexpensive Pre/Post and General Proteins

I was referred by a PF user. I am looking for an inexpensive Pre and Post protein mix and one for general use and overnight usage.

My friend uses a protein and oatmuscle(???) mix for pre and post and then several different ones for use several times a day and then before bed.

He mentioned some average cost per serving, but he said I could probably find some more affordable proteins.

So i am looking for the "mix" of oatmuscle(he swears by this product) & protein mix and general use protein. He takes the general protein every 2 hours and before bedtime. He is a much bigger guy, but has lost significant % fat and muscle increase since using your products.

I am on a tight budget and I am not a hardcore lifter.

Thanks!

get yourself a 5# bag of ultra whey (cheap) and several pounds of the oatmuscle. custom mix at the ratio u want. i use bio fresh for between meals and before bed

Yes just get some oatmuscle..between 2 to 5lbs since this is your first time ordering and then take advantage of the 5lbs of micro/ultra 90 for 19.99. I have a bunch but it wont last forever as the dairy market prices are warning me that whey protein will be rising in price soon. Welcome to Proteinfactory.com!! thanks for joining the forum

If cost is a primary concern, what the others have suggested can't be topped.

If you can afford to spend a little more moolah (i.e. ~7.50 / lb) AND you can digest lactose, the Victoria Milk Protein is a great way to get in some slower digesting casein between meals, to keep your amino acid blood levels very regulated.

Like Alex said, welcome to the board ... there are a lot of knowledgable people here who are more than willing to give their advice to assist!

all,

I forgot to mention that I have a lactose problem. if the above is still ok for us lactose challenged lifters, I would greatly appreciate other recommendations.

thank you.

The whey isolate special that alex referred to is lactose free (or very close).

Quality all purpose protein at the best price you will find ANYWHERE. Like literally, unless you own a factory, or have connections, this is the best price you will find.

My post protein is pretty much a 50/50 of 520 and the whey isolate special.

My slow protein is going to be 40VMP/30MMC/10AC/20IPI. That one might have lactose in it... I dunno, don't really take it into account. But it's a pretty good price for a slow blend that isn't soy (which I really, really don't trust, even in isolate form. Even from protein factory.). You do the math, you'll figure out that that is less than half the price of the equivalent amount of protein in cottage cheese, even if it's on sale for cheap.

The VMP has lactose.

Ah. I mainly put it in there to offset the cost of the casiens and ipi. You could take it out and it would still be a more economical source of casien than cottage cheese.

Definitely, not to mention about half the price of buying a TRULY equivalent product would cost almost anywhere else.
