10 Tips on What You Should Look for in Protein Supplements

  • To help sort through the gluten of protein supplements we’ve created the following quick protein supplements guide to help you get the most nutritional and economical bang for your buck
  • Everyone says their bodybuilding protein supplements are the best, so being knowledgeable on what constitutes a good protein shake and what doesn’t is important
  • Proper protein intake is one of the biggest factors in reaching your fitness goals. Whether you want to pack on pounds of lean muscle or lose weight the right protein can be a real asset while the wrong protein can cause financial and nutritional problems

By following these 10 tips you will be able to navigate your way through the shelves at the store or the pages of the internet to get the bodybuilding protein supplements that you need.

1. Read the ingredient label

Check to see what type of protein it is and how many grams you get per serving. Manufacturers will often add a lot of filler lessening the nutritional value. Check calorie and carb numbers as these vary greatly.

2. All proteins are not created equal

Protein comes in different forms such as whey, soy, egg and casein. Whey protein is generally considered the best for building lean muscle mass and is quickly absorbed into the system. It is derived from milk so if you are lactose intolerant it may result in an upset stomach. If you are lactose intolerant try soy or whey protein isolate, which are lactose free. Casein protein is effective at fighting hunger because it is absorbed slowly into the system.

3. Decide what you want to use protein supplements for

Ask yourself if you want it for a pre or post workout shake or a meal replacement? Then, make an educated decision.

4. Get what tastes good

Taking protein supplements is a habit that needs to be established. Drinking something that tastes like a dirty sock makes it harder to want to drink that protein shake. Read reviews online and ask people what tastes good. You don’t have to sacrifice taste for performance.

5. Don’t base your decision on price alone

Buying protein supplements because they are the cheapest or most expensive can be costly. An eclectic approach taking price, nutrition and taste into consideration works best.

6. Ask an unbiased expert

Ask a personal trainer at the gym who has first hand use of bodybuilding protein supplements. Often times the salesperson at the health food store will tell you anything they need to make a sale and get commission.

7. The convenience factor

The beauty of protein supplements is that you can still get proper nutrition even when you’re crunched for time. Buy a protein supplement that mixes well without a blender and tastes good when mixed in water. There will be times when fruit, milk and a blender will not be available to whip up your favorite shake. A good protein shaker cup is a great investment that costs very little money.

8. Try out samples

You wouldn’t go purchase a car without first test-driving it right? Many companies make single servings or give away samples for free on their websites. You don’t want to be stuck with a 10 lb jug of something you dislike.

9. Research the internet

After you’ve found a product you like search the internet and brick and mortar stores for the best price. The same product that is $19.99 can be $32.99 somewhere else.

10. Buy smaller containers

Buying a medium sized jug around 3 pounds will allow you to be able to change up flavors without getting bored.
