Lol. I smell people who don't/won't lift.
@Scrooge McDuck: It wasn't directed at you, just the string of negative comments on a deal for protein? That's not warranted. Sick of seeing people finding ways to bring down people who are just posting a deal for like-minded people. Oh and, +1 for pudding. We all love pudding. In fact, I'm going to make some with the protein I'm purchasing. So yeah, cheers, I am a pudding head!

Ain't that some shit, was about to order some today but decided to sleep on it. Thanks OP
Your methodology is flawed if you are suggesting replacing red meats with a shake as a simple alternative. Furthermore, the text continually makes links between red meat, particularly the processed type, but repetitively states a lack of evidence in regard to red meat. I'm happy for them to coexist in my diet in moderation.
You misunderstand. Did not suggest anything, I was just pointing out bad timing of his comment.
I am aware of the fact that correlation does not mean causation (one of the first things I learnt in uni econometrics classes), and the article recognizes this as repeatedly states on various points '…the evidence is not conclusive.' Which is exactly why I did not provide a link to sensationalist BS news (ahem new.com) but rather from the source itself. When this exploded it was just all hype but most people should have at least noticed something posted about this.
And I agree, as always, everything should be taken in moderation.

F me, i give up…
Whey - 5kg for ~ $90 @80% concentrate = 4000g/$90 = 44g protein per dollar
Reasonable steak = $25 for 1kg@ 28% = 1120g protein = 11.2g per dollar
- convinence
eat clen, tren hard
anavar give up?
If you want a protein comparison you want to choose something like skinless chicken breast.
This works out to around 26g protein per dollar.
Protein powders are great because they are a very cost effective source of protein and also the fact that they are convenient and easily digestible.
Who really wants to be eating 150g of chicken breast post work out every day?
Steak is much more expensive:
Unflavoured WPC costs roughly $100 for 5 kg and is 80 % protein, equating to $25 per kg of protein.
Blade steak costs roughly $12 per kg and is 28 % protein, equating to $43 per kg of protein.
Protein shakes are enjoyable.
No-one here is advocating for consuming excess protein. Consuming adequate protein can be difficult for bodybuilders and other athletes. Protein shakes help to supplement dietary protein economically and conveniently.
From Nutrition Australia…
Protein helps repair and rebuild muscle after exercise and can also be used during exercise as an energy source, particularly when carbohydrate reserves are very low. Protein needs of most athletes can be met by a well-balanced diet. You should consume a wide variety of high-quality protein foods such as chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork, fish, eggs, dairy foods, nuts and seeds. Some athletes, such as strength trained or endurance athletes often need more protein, with requirements of 1.2-1.6g per kilogram of body mass per day. Such intakes can generally be achieved by the overall increased food intake required to fuel training. Protein supplements and shakes can be very expensive and are not usually necessary. You can make a high-protein milk drink at home at a fraction of the cost by adding skim milk powder to your normal milk drink. Skim milk powder can also be added to other meals such as soup or cereal to further boost protein intake.
@Scrooge
Hear hear. Sorry mate I accidentally negged your comment.
quick tip: you dont have protein in your urine. if you do, thats not good, and it means your kidneys are failing
If you don't have an interest in the stuff, don't buy it. Or better yet, don't comment.
I have an interest in saving myself and other people money. That's why I commented. The majority of people working out in the gym don't need extra protein. A scientific fact. Put your protein shake money into good quality produce and you will obtain even more benefits.
"Majority of people… Don't need extra protein. Scientific fact"
So you know what type of diets the "majority" of people at the gym have, and you know their precise macro requirements also?
Scientific fact? Sounds more like a hypothesis based on probability.I have macro targets of 257grams of protein per day. Write me up a diet plan that allows me to hit that every single day.
Dammit I bought 18.5kg unflavoured WPC from bulkpowders a couple days ago. Oh well wouldn't have saved much. It's a shame Bulk Nutrients don't sell their unflavoured protein cheaper anymore.
It's a shame Bulk Nutrients don't sell their unflavoured protein cheaper anymore.
It is indeed!
Perhaps their flavouring is of comparable cost to their protein powders. But if it's just due to their new e-commerce software, they should update it with a few lines of code to discount unflavoured orders. :/
I asked and they told me it wasn't viable price wise apparently.
Anyone that doesn't like the stuff, don't buy it. Post up your progress pics as well. I'd like to see how you go without supplements.
Truth is, many don't have the time, resources or access to completely natural sources of protein. A supplement is that, a supplement. Much like you take vitamin supplements where you lack the intake, people will take protein supplements to supplement intake of that particular nutrient where their diet is lacking.
Nothing wrong with that.
I'm a fan of Bulk Nutrients and their products. Well priced, smart packaging and quick delivery.
What are the odds that Venom Protein will follow this up with their own 10 % off coupon? They're currently offering 5 % off for Halloween.
$7 postage from Bulk Nutrients spoils the deal compared to Venom Protein.
Still hoping for another 20 % off coupon.
I've ordered from both Venom and Bulk and in my opinion the extra price from Bulk is worth it, even with the 20% coupon
And why is that? o_0
I find the bulk texture is a lot better
crap, just made a purchase last week :( this would have come handy but like Scrooge Said above the delivery price every time you order as a kick in the nuts.
Aw, just bought a new batch from them yesterday. OzBargain is so painful sometimes. :)
Can anyone tell me a good cheap protein powder/drink for just felling full ? I am trying to lose some Kg's and need a drink to get me through work. Thanks a lot
Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix is a good one. Tasty, high protein (%84), mixes well and kind of froths like a thickshake. Also contains Lactase to help if you're mildly lactose intolerant. 29 bucks a kilo or cheaper if you buy in bulk.
Woah nice tip, missed out on this last order
Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix is a good one.
But it's unnecessarily expensive. Someone looking for a meal replacement for weight (fat) loss, doesn't need WPI in a blend.
I'd advise them to exercise more, cut out all sugary foods and supplement with pure WPC. If they lack the willpower to do that, a meal replacement shake of psyllium husk, skim milk powder and/or WPC could be effective.
It's not though, it's actually better value than their WPC.
Their WPC is $27 per KG and 76% protein.
Protein Matrix is $29 per kg and 84% protein. Arguably tastes better and you get more grams of protein per $ spent.
Maths…Only for 1 kg when you compare flavours like chocolate WPC to vanilla PM+ . My guess is they've specially discounted 1 kg of PM+ since they want customers to try their new product.
For all quantities other than 1 kg and for other flavour combinations, WPC is more economical:
Haha I can't argue with a nice bit of spreadsheeting!
If you want to lose weight, have a think about just increasing your activity.
Push ups and sit ups are the simplest things to do. They'll add muscle (albeit not as much as strength training) and muscle will burn more energy. What I'm saying is, you'll lose more weight the more muscle you have.I want to get get more muscle as well, its more just cos I'm at work for 10 hours a day so I'm looking to have a drink for lunch, I eat yogurt and fruit for breakfast most days.
I'm also going to be riding to work most days from now on (24km there and back) so that should help. And yes I will be doing strength training soon.Thanks for all your help guys, ill look at what's best to get tonight :)
I thought you couldn't gain muscle while losing fat/eating at a calorie deficit?
Guys. Please don't forget this code for the Matrix doesn't actually expire.
Bugga, looks like BN have fixed it!
"The coupon code you entered has been disabled so it can't be used."
From a quick look it appears Protein authority is cheaper even after discount and has non flavoured as an option which I prefer.
Which exact protein are you referring to? Their NZ WPI ? How many Kg's? Did you factor in shipping PA= $9.90 BN= $7
Was comparing the natural wpi vs NZ wpi but after another look bulk nutrients does have other cheaper options for wpi.
Yeah, buy bigger amounts the price per unit drops.
Also they have Raw (unflavoured) as an option, I just ordered some.
That natural one is a bit pricey so I gave it a miss.
Just stocked up not long ago, but another 10kg of WPC + 1kg of Creatine ordered. Thanks OP! :D
Any idea when this offer will end??
Wasnt planning to do a BN order until about another month, but this is too good to pass up!
Keen to try their new Salted Caramel too!
Pretty Decent price, have not ordered from them in a while.
Curious anyone here actually calculating their macro and caloric intake and thus supplementing with protein powder because they physically can't get enough food in within the day?
Or do you simply take one after working out to stop perceived 'catabolic' effects.
I tend to use protein powders these days to create lean dessert concoctions.
Yeah I do this. I'm a pretty skinny guy who's got a few friends well versed in the ways of gym (one is a PT who works at a supplement store) and I've been hitting them up for advice about gym and diet. For a long time I just wasn't consuming anywhere near enough protein, so I sat down and worked out bow much protein I need for my body weight and goals, and what I need to eat to reach my goals. I have two shakes a day to supplement my needs, at times when it's usually difficult to eat because I find shakes quick and easy.
Heaps of people reckon you don't need it etc but I noticed MASSIVE differences before and after using protein. I use pre-workout, protein, creatine and BCAA's, and have added each one of them because I actually notice the effects and they work for me.
But hey, everyone's different :P
I do but I'm calorie deficit as cutting atm, I find a lot of the time I haven't hit my protein requirement so use a shake.
Fwiw
The new salted caramel is a new favorite
Great service from these guys (again).
Ordered about 1pm yesterday and delivered around 1pm today! Tas > Vic that's impressive and wasn't even express shipping!
Must of missed out. It says that the coupon code is disabled.
Must have
It was marked expired just before noon, so yeah..
Anyone tried their pancakes? Was wondering how it tasted.
I have, I find it pretty average. Doesn't mix as well as the normal pancakes and the texture is slightly 'grainy'. It's edible, I'd give it a score of say 6.5/10.
