Actually, my point is that ion exchange is the most expensive of all their proteins. Microfiltered is $9.59 per pound, and ion is $9.89 per pound. Personally, I don't see any difference in getting the cheapest concentrate from TP which tastes awesome. If you're really worrried about purity, I'd suggest getting a $19 per pound tub of BCAA's which is what I do. 90 servings per pound. I take 40 grams during my workouts and feel terrific.

Is it? I see some other more expensive blends. And in the custom mix section, it isn't the most expensive either.

I'm looking right at it. And due to the process alone, it would only make sense that it's the most expensive.

LOL, also, I'm looking at the custom mix section, and it shows the same pricing.. Which also only makes sense. Obviously, if you compare apples to oranges, as in whey vs. some high speed casein protein, it's not going to be the same price. But in the grand scheme of things, if you really compare ion vs. all other forms of whey protein, there's no greater advantage buying the most expensive extraction process over the others.

Gotcha. I have read many times before that micofiltrated whey is a lot more expensive than ion exchange. I wonder why it's not at TP.

I agree with everything that you just edited into that post also.

BTW, I just reread what you put. You shouldn't be comparing the price of ion exchange to something like egg white protein. My point was more about that there's no point picking up ion vs. concentrate, especially if you don't have any digestion issues between the two.

Whey is anabolic, casein/egg is more anti catabolic. So I wouldn't be ingesting some preworkout egg protein vs. something quicker to get me into an anabolic state during/after my workout. However, if you're looking for an MRP (meal replacement shake), then I'd rather go with casein/egg w/ perhaps some flax added in, ect. That said, going back to my point, you could make an MRP with whey if you choose (cheapest option) if you add some ingredients to it to slow down digestion (fats, fiber, ect).

What is egg protein like? (consistency & taste?)

EDIT: The reason I didn't clarify which kind of protein is because he never mentioned when he would be using the protein. I just mentioned the whey because it's so much more versatile...like you mentioned, you can add anything in the world to it.

Well, don't get it by itself lol. It's pretty salty IMHO. It's not extremely thick either.

I've usually made my MRP's only for once or twice a day.. My favorite was 40 milk protein isolate (which is 80 casein/20 whey) 40 egg white, 20 psyllium husk which is VERY cheap.. Something like $8.40 per pound (@ 15 servings per). From there I'd always add a few tbsp of olive oil and BINGO! Or you could toss in 1/2 cup of oatmeal and BLAMO!

yeah i was talking about whey
i just went up to walmart and bought a tub of six star muscle whey protein
you know anything about it?

[Ross86]

It looks okay. Cholesterol is high, but that's typical of cheaper whey blends.
