As the owner of a supplement company, I get many questions on what makes our whey isolate better than other products. I have a tendency to go into way too much detail and probably confuse most of the people I talk to, so I thought I would write a very short guide to picking your protein.
When choosing a whey isolate protein, look for one that is not denatured, meaning the protein chains are still intact and have not been broken down. Then simply determine how much protein you are actually purchasing. To do this, just look at the nutritional facts label and you should see how many servings are in the container. Take the number of servings in the container and multiply by the amount of protein per serving. This will give you the total amount of protein you are purchasing.
Next look at how many calories are in the container. Whey protein isolate contains 4 calories per gram of protein. So, if you are buying something with 26 grams of protein per serving, you should only have about 104 calories per serving. If the labels says there are 130 calories, the additional calories are coming from something other than the whey isolate and you want to keep these to a minimum, especially if you are trying to stay or get lean.
Remember that many supplement companies do not reflect the flavoring or sweeteners in their label calculations, flavoring typically takes 20%-25% of the volume of the product.
In summary follow these steps for buying your whey isolate:
1) Not Denatured
2) Amount of protein you are actually buying
3) Protein to calorie ratio as close to 1:4 as possible
Follow these steps and be the person in the gym that brags about their whey isolate by knowing how to buy the best quality products, not the best tasting one.
