What I don't like about MYProtein in particular is the sheer amount of products they have on their site. They all seem to overlap or have the same powder crap in them yet marketed as something else.
"a" protein powder in "a" flavour would be nice!
What's a decent one to actually go for? The impact whey or whey isolate?
Weekly my workouts look like this: (or they will once I am back to full health).
3 x swimming, 5 hrs total, 3k/hr average. Mostly sprint and middle distance.
2 x gym - 5x5 strong lifts + 1-2 other exercises.
Will probably manage a run or a cycle once a week because I run with my OH to help her actually do it!
So need to eat a lot, but its getting the protein in. I try to avoid powders and the like, but it is hard to ignore the relative ease and cheapness.
I also contemplated getting some MYProtein RE:Charge, particularly for after swimming, but reading around, I think plain old chocolate milk is just as good. Whether or not its cheaper is another question though. A litre is about £1 and thats 3 servings.
I normally just go for a mid-GI snack pre-training, something like a banana. Or two. Seems to work...
Anything else I should consider?

Creatine is creatine.
Just buy the cheapest mono you can find. I pay £8-10 for a kilo delivered of eBay
can't comment on protein, don't use it anymore however I hear to avoid my protein as they're under investigation for protein content being a lot lower than claimed.
There's bodybuilding warehouse I think it's called or bulk powders?
Bodybuilding Warehouse has the best prices on everything - and still an independent business, not a faceless company: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/bo...Just buy the cheapest mono you can find. I pay £8-10 for a kilo delivered of eBay
