LOL from that very same link:Senescence wrote: ↑ I love how you just throw that around like you're talking about climate change and there's a scientific consensus on it. I'm studying to be a registered dietitian and I can tell you with confidence that this statement is absolutely false. This is a complex issue. If you want to give advice to people, educate yourself instead of spreading misinformation that is potentially dangerous for some people to follow. Here's the TL:DR you might benefit from reading, in the meantime:
"For most people, the amount of cholesterol eaten has only a modest impact on the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood. (24) For some people, though, blood cholesterol levels rise and fall very strongly in relation to the amount of cholesterol eaten."
Source: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritions ... olesterol/
"The biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats and carbohydrates in your diet—not the amount of cholesterol you eat from food."
" However, scientific studies show a weak relationship between the amount of cholesterol a person consumes and his or her blood cholesterol levels"
Maybe Nikhilvoid's comment was a little exaggerated but saying it's ABSOLUTELY FALSE?

How does this compare taste-wise with the Costco LeanFit that was on sale?
Found the LeanFit protein horrid with water, but fine with milk.

darn it I just opened my 11lb impact whey and I only use a scoop a day (very rarely 2) so this should be enough for what? 6 months? But still I am tempted to get another one and stock up. They don't expire soon do they?

11 lb ~= 5 kg
1 scoop = 25 g = 0.025 kg
2/0.025 = 200 days
The bags I bought 3 months ago have expiry dates of Oct 2018 and Aug 2018. Not sure about yours.

I question if any dietitian courses/certifications keep up to date on nutritional studies anyways. I really hope this guy doesn't start working as one and keeps recommending 12 servings of grains a day.
Anyways off topic
Anyone have flavor recommendations in water? It'd be nice to compile an RFD list. I've tried:
Chocolate Smooth (good)
Vanilla (good but gets tiring so mainly use it in smoothies)
Chocolate Mint (ok, gets tiring)
Mocha (great)
Strawberry (good, would probably get tiring but I mainly use it in smoothies too)

Strawberry cream is very tiring. Good thing I ordered 1 bag each of choco and strawberry, now I alternate between the two flavors.

Is it better than ON Gold Standard? Based on the ingredients, it seems not?

If you can find ON for $25/5lbs I'd say go for it.EdisonL299 wrote: ↑ Is it better than ON Gold Standard? Based on the ingredients, it seems not?

I used ON GS religiously before, but couldn't keep up with how expensive the product is. I switched to MyProtein and never looked back.EdisonL299 wrote: ↑ Is it better than ON Gold Standard? Based on the ingredients, it seems not?

I bought the vanilla impact (not isolate) last time, here are my thoughts:
- The taste is good, but very sweet! Even in 2 cups of milk it tastes like sugar (although only has 3g/scoop)
- The powder is fluffy, so the scoops seem large
- I measured a scoop to be 32g
- The powder mixes fairly well. I use an immersion blender for about 10 seconds.
- Because of the strong taste, you can use it with water and it will still taste decent
- The bag has a strong seal, but it's kinda annoying to do/undo every time. I dumped 5lbs into an old whey bottle I had.
- Once again, this is sweet! I don't have a sweet tooth (can't even stand sugary drinks), so maybe my opinion is different. But keep that in mind!
I also bought the creatine and add a scoop into my whey drink every day. Also, don't buy BCAA. It's an easy sell for supplement companies but doesn't really offer any benefits to your workout routine. The only exception is if your workouts occur while fasting, i.e. right after you wake up and before breakfast.

Noob question - Is this for Whey Isolate or Whey Protein? Is there a quick guide on what the difference is?

I don't think the concern is getting charged, I think it's having the package either confiscated or returned to sender. There's a warning popup on the site that says Canadian Customs will only allow a "90-day supply" on a single shipment. How they calculate what 90 days is, seems a mystery. The site seems to say there's a rating on the products as to how many day supply each constitutes, however I can't really see that information in any obvious place

Enough links on google explaining the difference.
