Myprotein SG

[IxasCaelum]

Hi guys, pretty new to forums and wanted to ask:

1. I am new to taking whey protein and would like to ask, is there a big difference in terms of quality between Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard and MyProtein Impact Whey? My friend has recommended ON but I'm on a budget so MyProtein would save me a couple of dollars here and there.

I've also read on another thread that ON has "better quality protein", so just wanted to clarify if that's the case? Does anyone have any experience with this?

2. Has anyone tried the unflavoured whey? Thinking of getting that for better bang for buck.

3. Is there an option to request for delivery to POPStation instead? Would prefer to collect from post office myself since I see so many horror stories regarding delivery by SingPost, and my doorbell isn't working :x

4. Typically how long does 1 2.5kg pack last? Expiry date wise - afraid that if i bulk buy to avoid shipping, the powder might not last long enough.

Sorry if I ask questions previously asked!

MyProtein Impact Whey has been tested to meet label specs better than ON 100% Gold Standard Whey, according to Labdoor. I would say it's better quality. It doesn't hurt that it's also cheaper.

I've also read on another thread that ON has "better quality protein", so just wanted to clarify if that's the case? Does anyone have any experience with this?

ON Gold Standard 100% Whey uses a Whey Blend of WPI and WPC, while Impact Whey is purely WPC. WPI is of a higher purity, which means it's a higher percentage of protein per unit weight. However, it also lacks some of the protein fractions that WPC has. Seeing that lab tests give Impact Whey a higher score for protein concentration, it doesn't make sense to go with ON based on a theoretical advantage.

2. Has anyone tried the unflavoured whey? Thinking of getting that for better bang for buck.

Yes I have, but I always mix it with a flavored product, so I haven't tried it alone. It should taste ok though.

Dunno

4. Typically how long does 1 2.5kg pack last? Expiry date wise - afraid that if i bulk buy to avoid shipping, the powder might not last long enough.

You can calculate it yourself based on your own usage. Different people consume protein at different rates.

If you have ever drank skim milk from those UHT packets, I would say that Myprotein's unflavoured impact whey has the same taste and consistency as skim milk. It is light and smooth, and does not produce too much foam as compared to some other impact whey flavours.

@galapogos: Thank you for your detailed response! Regarding question 4, I meant more towards what is the shelf life of whey? Is the best before date typically 1 year or so? I want to know how long can i "store" it for if I buy more than 1 bag.

@aizenhart: Oh okay that sounds pretty manageable. Thank you!

One more question - is there a place where I can find the exact nutritional information for the different MyProtein flavoured wheys? Seems like the nutritional information provided on the retail site is only for unflavoured whey.

Thank you once again! Your responses are very much appreciated

Hmm not really sure about that, but what I did was I went into the ingredients drop down menu which lists the main ingredients for each flavour of Myprotein whey.

There I compared the whey concentrate percentage for each flavour. It seems that generally chocolate flavours and some others have a lower whey content (e.g., most chocolate flavours 91% compared to unflavoured 100%, strawberry cream 96% and some other flavours not even listed, [presumably even lower] ).

Just multiply the unflavoured content by the % of the flavor. For example chocolate: 91% of unflavored 9% of flavouring

Protein bars are generally unhealthier than protein shakes due to the sugars and other things. However they can be a yummier option.

My friend makes his own protein bars from protein powder, so you can google it up to save costs over the long run as protein bars can be really expensive.

Different flavour have different nutritional information.
If you want the exact values, you have to ask other my protein whey users to take a screenshot
Anyway, the difference in the nutritional value is minimal. It would not really matter if you are a few grams off in protein, fats and carbs (and generally nutritional label are not 100% accurate to the dots anyway).
For the most cost effective protein, unflavoured whey would be the answer.

I have tried myprotein cookies, brownie and bars.
Taste: average and of course not as good as the real ones loaded with sugar
Macros: Really good, most of the products have minimal sugar and high in protein
Price: Not exactly cheap. Unless you have the means and not having the time to cook eggs and some peanut butter bread.
Is it worth: Yes, if you need to hit a certain amount of purchased products for free delivery or other free promotional items

knn ordered yesterday and they have 52% off these 2 days

 

[Aizenhart]

Not on all products though. The impact whey only has 33% off. However if you are getting casein this will be a great time to buy.

I bought 2 packets of 5kg unflavoured casein this time round. So if you do take casein this is a great time to stock up and make use of the 52% off (essentially buy one get one free)

They have some other supplements like creatine and vitamins and on offer too. Also if you purchase above $150 you will receive a box of free protein samples as well.

In addition there are usually different discounts codes available, do note that not all codes are eligible for the same products.

Lastly for first time buyers you can enter the friend code at checkout and receive 25% (applies to all products) off your overall purchase.
