That cheap GNC shit...is the lowest of the low if you ask me.....A 5lb tub at GNC goes for a good $32....and EAS is a pretty well known performance company....you can't beat 10lbs for $20 anywhere

The GNC junk has about 35% of your daily cholesterol in every serving (2scoops) EAS has about 5%

I take it just for the low cholesterol alone

fitrx always has good deals, i accidentally stumbled on them one day...because GNC was starting to get too expensive

I've tried all the flavors except Vanilla....I have an aversion for Vanilla because i've tried other companies Vanilla and it tastes too bland

In order I would rate it as follows

Chocolate - Best of the 3
CookiesnCream - 2nd best...the cookie bits kinda get annying when you drink it, but taste is alright
Vanilla - Haven't tried it

that's a really good deal might have to try it. I get my whey from a grocery store. 1 scoop of it or 30 grams has 24g of protein. so i get 48g of protein with my two scoops. cholesterol is at 7% of DV per scoop so that's good. GNC stuff is purely buying the brand. As far as which one is better you kind of have to try them out. I had problems with some kinds of supplements sitting in my stomach and making me feel sick at times.

advice = when picking a flavor of whey think of what that flavor of milk would taste like. ( i got some tropical punch flavored whey once and i ended up throwing it away cause it tasted so bad). chocolate is best IMO. Also aviod soy protein unless you like soy milk.

Or you could just mix it with water.
