Bought some BN WPI natural and vanilla.

The natural flavour tastes like powdered skim milk but ok if you make smoothies with it. The vanilla has a very faint taste too it. Definitely would choose ON in the flavour department for an extra $20.

I can see where you're coming from - the vanilla isn't really a strong flavour. I like it because it's simple and has the highest protein percentage, but I do agree the chocolate is much better! Banana isn't bad either, if you like the fake banana flavour haha

I'll grab BN chocolate next. I prefer paying cheaper and taste isn't a big thing for me anyway as i only have it once a day. Was just giving my thoughts for others who may not have had those flavours.

If I am doing a bike ride in the same day I am doing a PPP session I add a schoop of chocolate icecream to my shake, because I am a disgusting animal.

I use BN vanilla.

Dan I WAS paying $50 for 2lb of ON Gold Standard, til I started having 2 shakes a day.

If I were to get sucked into the bro marketing of the local supplement shop, I'd be paying ~$80 a kilo for Max's or Dymatize stuff!

Yeah the BN is $100 for 5kg of WPC.

I bought some fitbodies protein off ebay, $85 for 4kg. Serve size 30grms - 27grms protein, 1.2grms carbs and 0.8grms fats per serve. Chocolate tastes very good, better than BN. Mixes well with no clumps but does froth up a bit.

Little dubious on the protein claims and I'm sure the scoop is slightly bigger than 30grms but if taken at face value it's a very good protein at a terrific price.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
