    There's no bottom line.

    Post workout, you want whey. Bedtime, you want casein. Midday, you may want a mix.

    This is grossly oversimplified, but there's no single best protein for every situation. Sorry.

    As Assitch made clear: there's no simple answer. www.trueprotein.com has all sorts of proteins available and explain the differences in pretty technical terms. I would combine reading what they say with some reading from other sources in order to determine exactly what you want.

    You give this question to your average lifter ask them for the best answer they can give while being specific, and they will tell you 'whey protein.' But, as much whey protein as I use, I disagree with that response. What is the single best source of protein? Easy answer, really: meat.

    You are best off buying an Isolate. I highly recommend the Isolate Cold-Filtration from www.trueprotein.com.

    By adding carbs or fats with your whey you can slow the absorption, or you can mix it with milk.

    i've been using hydrolized 520 from protien factory. absolutly disgusting in taste, but by far the best protien for recovery and growth, imo. hydro 520 is the shit.

    Or you can go with Cold-Filtration Isolate and get a high quality protein that doesn't taste like shit.

    I use the cold-filtration but I'm curious how it compares to the micro.

    Yes well I read an expose where I found out whey will make your gut huge, and that hemp protein is the way to go.

    So all that muscle you gained in the last 3 years...not real muscle. Better get some hemp quick.

    That guy is a tool. They talk about the distended bellies and shit, but whos pic do they post? Greg Kovac's!!!!! The guy is a science experiment gone wrong. It has more to do with the amount of drugs he takes, not the protein he drinks.

    TX, You should jump on the hemp protein bandwagon while the goings good. You don't want to miss an opportunity like this.

    That article wasn't a scientific paper. It was something writen by someone wanting to sell hemp.

    Exactly! Now I just need to figure out how many grams of hemp protein I can get from smoking bud.

    I think you're right. When I get swole as well as rich off of this opportunity, I'll try not to forget the little guys.
