Whey Isolate is more processed and as a result contains less lactose than Whey Concentrate, which is why some people who are lactose sensitive can still use an Isolate with no digestive problems.
The difference between the TBJP Isolate and the Pro is that the Pro is produced from grass fed cows and so is the highest standard and quality you can buy. They will both only have minimal amounts of lactose though, so if that’s what’s causing you problems with the concentrate, then you could try either Isolates.
Thank you very much Clare! I’ll try the iso today as I have a tub at home

Normal iso won’t cause issues, iso pro is just the highest quality you can get gram per gram.
Tbjp iso is perfect I use both iso and iso pro personally, my preference has always been iso although The concentrate tastes amazing
Appreciate that just noticed I was using the Per4m whey but about half hour after using I’m very gassy so was just wondering if the iso would possibly be better I guess I’ll give to a try

Overall calories do matter, so I would match the carbs to get the amount you’re wanting to get in that meal, but also factor in the fat content you were previously having from the oats. You may want to add some to that meal to match overall calories. If, however, your goal right now is fat loss, then switching Oats out for COR is a way of reducing some calories and could be beneficial.
Okay I’ll check the fat content on that thank you I am currently 2 week out Sunday so fat loss is the ultimate goal

Second picture is the old one first picture is the new one don’t know why it went that way

Hi Connor
Could you list what your current meals looks like please including any sauces if you use them?Something might stand out to what could be causing you to feel gassy.
Hi Marc so my day goes like this
Wake
Currently doing 3G jp cv burn then 1 hour cardio 6days a week
After cardio before food 10g glutamin 25ml apple cider vinegar
5.30-6am 120ml egg white 2 whole eggs 200g green beans and 5-10g of reduced ketchup (2 pieces of turkey bacon rest day)
8.30-9am 175g lean mince 200g green beans
11.30-12pm 150g chicken 200g green beans
2.30pm 200g Greek yoghurt 30g whey (this I’ve now removed only as of today to see if it helps keeping the why for now)
4.30-5pm (pre) 85g oats 45g whey
Intra 25g carb powder 15g eaa
8.30-9pm (post) 103g cor 60g whey
My guess is it’s the whey or yoghurt so removing yoghurt first too see
I use Per4m whey asqell just to mention that [/quote]Thanks for this. I would say it is a process of elimination and you have done that so far with Greek yoghurt. The one thing that stands out to me is apple cider vinegar. How long have you been taking this for? Although it can be useful, it does have acidic effects and can cause bloating / make you feel gassy because it slows down the rate at which your stomach can empty itself. [/quote]
Just recently started taking the acv and glutamine as I thought that would help with digestion do you recommend removing that and glutamine also? -
Really appreciate all the replies everyone I shall purchase a tub and see one last question when swapping vegan whey for a normal why should I opt just to match the macros as good as I can? With a whey would you just opt to match the protein I’m guessing?

As soon as I woke up and looked at my sleep tracker and seen I’d clocked 8:55hrs in bed with 7:55hrs of that in deep sleep , I knew today would be a good day .
Not going to bore you with the sleep is king blah blah blah , but we know everything we do , who we are from day to day , how we behave , interact with others , how productive we are and all that is determined by sleep . I am looking forward to doing the same but longer tonight as I don’t have work tomorrow so I get to lie in.
Check in this morning, we are at 109kg . We will see what jordan thinks but today’s session has been off the charts . Mindset ,Performance , pumps and all have been immense.
Off home to cook 🧑🏿🍳, eat and probably watch something on telly which I haven’t done in a long time .
Hope everyone has a great weekend. 🙂
What sleep tracker do you use out of curiosity?

If you think Whey digests well for you, then Whey and Fruit would be a good alternative. It could be made either in a shake or a paste.
That’s what I’m working at today to figure out between them two as I think it’s one of them possibly

The idea is to take advantage of Muscle Protein Synthesis and time your serving of MPS Max to get a spike at a suitable time during your training that sits between your pre and post workout meal. If you trickle it in throughout your whole session and your meals are quite close either side, then you will have a constant stream of aminos from your pre, intra and post and won’t get that spike. Carbs, however can be sipped throughout to assist with performance, hydration, pump and reduce fatigue.
Having said all that though, if there is a big window either side of your training, leaving several hours between your pre and post meals, then there may be a benefit to combining the MPS Max and Sustain and consuming throughout, particularly if your workouts are long too. It all comes down to your own diet set up and timing.
Hi Clare would you recommend the same with any eaa really? Is it worth splitting them I typically eat 1.5-2 hours before training and train for about 2 – 2.5hrs then I will eat about 30min – 1hr after training[/quote]
Ideally, yes. Taking in your EAAs/MPS Max 30-60 mins into your training would work well for you.

Ah nice one I’ll give that a good thank you very much -

Daily weight fluctuations are completely normal. Inflammation from training/cardio the day before, meals at different times, sleep quality, stress, water/sodium intake, carb intake, bowel emptying, anabolics will all play a part in altering scale weight. Fat loss can still be occurring though, despite the reading. If you’re still seeing a downward trend over time and the look is improving, then don’t worry.
Okay thank you very much! I see changes in check ins each week so don’t know why I was stressing

Hi yeah so I’ve been told by a professional sadly I couldn’t afford the price they are set at so was just hoping someone here may have some ideas that could help
