Protein help! (Pro Complex, Protein Factory...)

[AfroBob]

Hello,

I just started working out 1 week ago and a lot of people recommended that I should start taking whey protein.

I went to GNC and asked whats a good quality protein and the man recommended Pro Complex. Pro Complex Whey proten runs for about $37 (4lbs). That s kind of pricey for me.

Someone told me about Protein Factory.com and they seem to have really good deals. I want to know if it really is good quality protein. Will I get the same results if I were to take Pro Complex? Someone also recommended make my own blend of..

60% Whey Protein Concentrate
20% Egg White Protein
10% CFM Whey Isolate
10% Hydro 1400

Does that sound any good? If not what does? I go to the gym about 4-5 times per week and work out about 1-1 1/2 hours. Please help!

Any Whey protein is a great choice for adding some quality mass. Try Designer Protein...tastes good and works well.

I've have had great results with a mixture that I've used which is in a ten pound order:

2 lbs. egg white protein
3 lbs casein
2 lbs. wpc
2 lbs. cmf whey
1 lb. 520 hydro


the best mix for the price.

Alright, I have decided that I am going to be ordering that custom blend of protein tomorrow. 4lbs will be about $20.

I just got done losing 40lbs by low carbing. I went from 194 to 154. Now I am working on building some muscle. At this point I am really weak. The whey protein will help me out a lot, right? I am not expecting to drink protein and gain muscle by watching TV. I understand you have to put work in it and I am willing too. I still have a little more fat at excercise off..
