@RustyCrab just pure whey concentrate? most brands are gonna be fine, ive used the naked stuff but idk man do your own research.
as for "no sugar" thats complicated. whey concentrate is gonna have lactose in it, thats just how things are. i do hope youre taking it with carbs and fats, otherwise your body wont digest it and you will have terrible shits.
as for my experience, ive had inconsistent tasting batches of whey in the past and got pea protein powder to get some stability in my life, but that stuff tasted even worse. i gave up on teinmaxxxxing and now just drink a lot of milk and eat more lean meats.
@marlin@RustyCrab Optimum Nutrition and Muscletech are the most trusted ones, but tbh they're all going to have SOME degree of metals or contaminants as in all processed foods, the amounts are just very small to be basically negligible.
Maybe look at the keto ones and try to find the one with the least number of weird ingredients? There was some pea-based protein power I used in NZ, but I don't remember the brand and they don't sell it here anyway .. and I haven't used any in months cause I've fallen off the wagon again and haven't done weights in a month 😩
they are terrible for you (especially your digestive system)
I've had too many bad experiences with sweeteners so I don't make a habit of touching them
@Nudhul@bot ultimately what I'm talking about is added sugars yes, but it goes beyond that due to modern agriculture.
Almost everything that is "supposed to be sweet" is over-saturated by my standards. Even very small amounts in coffee, literally more than 1g in a 8 ounce cup, is too much for me.
Fruit is a mixed bag. I'm told that fruits today are bred to be overly sweet. They are to me. Apples taste WAY WAY too sweet for my liking. I haven't had a pear in forever but i suspect it would be too. That said, they are far more tolerable than Twinkies or whatever.
