should have added also that its important to check the protein content per gram... some powders advertise amasing amounts of protein per serving, for example, a brand might advertise a huge 40g of protein per serving. However this is only because a serving constitutes 2 huge scoops which measure out 80g...so infact only 50% of the powder is protein! The rest is often fats and simple carbs. Dymatize Nutrition Elite Whey Protein is particulary guilty of this whilst other companies like PhD pack an impressive 40g whey into a 50g serving in their pharma whey blend. So dont get conned and buy cheap powders which promise vast amounts of protein per serving!
