yet another protein question..

I think some of you misunderstood needto's post.
Most cmpanies get their protein from the same source, and protein is protein...BUT... SOME PROTEINS ARE MORE COMPLETE THAN OTHERS.
For example, Whey concentrate is only actually 78% total protein. Soy protein is missing certain amino acids. Some protein supps require bigger portions to get the total grams higher. Some proteins last longer, some are harder to digest, etc, etc.
So yeah, in a straight up comparison, there's no big diff. But in the case of something like BIG BLAST, you have super plasma serum which is far beyond any other protein source. And as it's "normal" protein it has cross filtered whey and whole egg -- more more ingredients most powders don't contain. So that's what makes it a superior product.
Hey, if you want cheap and tasty, buy some soy, and mix it with Bosco. It'll be cheap. The stats will sound good. It'll taste great. But it'll be crap. You're better off with food protein. But BIG BLAST is better than the protein from any food.

better how? you know i love big blast. this is a real question. better than food post w/o i agree only because or the fast digestion. are you saying better over all? if so how? im verry sceptical of that.
Better than any whole food protein is crazy talk. There's no doubt that BB is one of the best shakes around, but let's be real here.
I'm not saying that BIG BLAST is better than eating food! lol But the gram per gram, super plasma serum is far more effective at growing muscle than anything you'd include in your diet.
You can argue that a really clean whey isolate is purer than most any protein food except for maybe tuna. (Egg white is pure protein but not complete in the essential amino acids without the yolk, which is mostly fat). But the plasma serum has the advantage of bypassing the digestive tract. (As does hydrolized proein). So yes, they are actually BETTER protein sources.
This isn't to say that diet isn't important. You can't live on supplements. (Well, actually you probably could but it's crazy). Remember, it's a SUPPLEMENT. But if you're going to supplement, it should be a concentrated form of nutrition, just as a simple multi has a higher concentration of vitamins than any single food.

+1. I always bought whey and added cookies and cream muscle milk into a large 5 gal container and mixed the two together and WALLAH.
Where the FUCK is GEAR??????? lol
LOL! Yeah, GEAR will the purest form of protein since it doesn't have to be "eaten." Also, it'll contain protein fractions, which intensify the effect. We've had a little hold up, mainly because the ingredients aren't your typical stuff. But everything is in so it's a matter of bottling it and getting it out. The long weekend held us up a bit, but I'd say at this point, hang tight for another a week or two.
thanks
One other thing: BIG BLAST has creatine and NO2. Both put on size without added calories. Now, creatine is nothing new, but considering you save the the cost of buying EXTRA creatine (which is usually not as good as the p12 type) and the NO2 gives better pumps, that's a pretty good package for the price. And it tastes good. Muscle Milk is the only thing that comes close in falvor. (Gotta admit, the Muscle Milk banana is really good) but it isn't in the same league as BB and it cost about the same. The MONSTER Milk is a little better but even more expensive.
