    On sales at Nutrition Warehouse for 199$ (+ 1 free electrolyte drink + free delivery) and if you use one of the influencer code (i.e., 'KAIT15') you get an extra 15% off which bring it to 170$.

    On top of that if you add one more electrolyte drink (cheapest option) for 3.6$ you reach 200$ and get a free Stainless Steel Shaker (worth 12$). So total of your order delivered will be 173$

      Your NW deal is better. Had I known earlier would have opted for this instead of the Amazon one.

        Yes soz - I’m not too sure if had posted the deal it would have been accepted because of additional code etc.

        Otherwise Amino Z is quite good too but if you are not going with them and prefer brands such as ON or others best is Elite Supp. They run -20% on their entire shop about once a month or so + upsized cashback on cashrewards (around 10-15%) which bring the price close to the one I described above - just have to wait for cashback to be approved :)

        • exit on 17/09/2023 - 15:43

          EliteSupps has a permanent 20% off code (though cashrewards probably won't work) which you can stack with their 5% app cashback. Might get disabled if it's too popular so DM me if you would like it.

      Thank you @Val0995,
      I've used price beat on AminoZ and got it down to $168 for 4.5KG incl shipping.(https://aminoz.com.au?p=2MJ4322EQQ)

      p.s. Double rich chocolate is out of stock in NW. And no need shaker so, it worked out well for me.

      How it worked: https://vimeo.com/865232425/d88445d510

      For people doesn't need free shakers, this would be another deal. Otherwise NW (you get a free shaker + something)

          They check 100% of the time lol, and they reject price beats below cost price so its hard to “hack” anything given margins are already quite small.

          • TilacVIP on 19/09/2023 - 16:33

        Genuinely interested in why that is the case? Just based off taste or are there other reasons you have?

          +1

          they taste pretty similar to me - Musashi makes me fart like some sort of wild boar thought

        • Reggyscum on 17/09/2023 - 16:20

          Musashi protein products in generally use lower quality proteins - they tend to be a concoction of concentrate, casein, soy etc. The protein bars have lots of sugar alcohols and glycerols and in my experience have a very "plasticy" taste.

          • potato farmer on 17/09/2023 - 17:58

            @Reggyscum: Thanks, now that you mention it I see Musashi list concentrate before isolate in their 100% whey product, wheras ON has isolate first.

            @TightTerry More concentrate = wild boar farts?

    • OldSchoolHarry on 18/09/2023 - 08:07

      ON Extreme Milk Chocolate is the one to get. Double rich was a bit too rich for me.

  • Wolfenstein98k on 17/09/2023 - 12:58

    Suggest you stick to Australian companies (and sources) like Amino Z or Bulk Nutrients.

    Cheaper than this when buying similar amounts, Australian or NZ whey sources (except BN's WPC), and less questionable additives such as Ace K. All upside.

    • nomoneynoproblems on 17/09/2023 - 13:33

      Amino Z source their whey from the US lol

    • Wolfenstein98k on 17/09/2023 - 13:44
      +2

      Just looked it up, and nomoneynoproblems (reply above) is correct.

      Amino Z appear not to use Australian sources anymore.

      Few do, such as Professional Whey (Australian WPC).

      I've used them and they're great, competitively priced too. I'd revise my recommendation to that.

      • exit on 17/09/2023 - 16:08

        Does location actually matter? Grass fed vs grain fed seems to make a bigger difference.

    Protein is so expensive now, honestly I'm at the point of just eating real food. It's better anyways, but shakes are dead easy to get protein intake up!

    • Wolfenstein98k on 17/09/2023 - 13:47
      +1

      Chicken breast is about a third of the price by weight (CBF adjusting for $/g of protein, but this will favour whey a lot more).

      Whey wins for accessibility, but if you can stomach it, just frying or poaching some chicken breast and leaving it in the fridge can be almost as accessible. You can literally just leave a whole breasts there, break off some strips, whack some mayo on it and down it lol

      • Commenter on 17/09/2023 - 14:12

        I would prefer Canned salmon or sardines with 20g per can of 120g costing 0.9$. You also get omega 3.

        Though Salmon is more expensive.

        • Wolfenstein98k on 17/09/2023 - 14:15

          Where can you get 120g of salmon for $0.90?

          • marcozmitch on 17/09/2023 - 14:40

            @Wolfenstein98k: And whatever happened to egg protein?
            I don't do the BB thing, I eat 4 eggs for breakfast.

            • Wolfenstein98k on 17/09/2023 - 14:42

              @marcozmitch: That's a ripper, but it's $1.87 for 24g protein. It's not really comparable to things like whey for getting your TDI of protein up, efficiently.

        • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2023 - 14:39

          What do camp sardines taste like, I heard they're actually a really good source of omega 3 fats too.

        What about eggs? I like eating 5-6 eggs at a time!

        • jonathan111 on 17/09/2023 - 16:39

          Ive had my own hens for many years.. this year i hatched some ultra rare breed White Siciliana and will cross them with an Australorp Rooster for an F1 super layer.

          Eggs inhibit myostatin they have Follistatin

          I drink 4 eggs every morning

          Having your own eggs makes sure you don't have to deal with the antibiotics and other medications/ pesticides mass producers use.

          Fertilized eggs contain a lot of follistatin. The people who tripled their muscle growth over eight weeks were eating an extract from fertilized eggs[6].

      • antik on 18/09/2023 - 00:30
        +5

        Some years ago there was a large lab analysis done on many different protein powders checking for “actual” protein content comparing to what was advertised on the label. ON was at the top of the testing with from memory 93-95% claimed protein content. Some brands were as low as 60%. So yeah ON is worth the money

        • lonewolf on 18/09/2023 - 11:27

          This is something a lot of peope just dont think about. This is also why i never buy those no-name pop up supplement brands. I have been screwed over by some of them in the past. Of course its not only them that lie, there have been other larger brands that have lied too in the past.

        • xximmortalxx on 18/09/2023 - 13:48

          @antik you are spot on. But I reckon more than the protein content, just saw this:
          Researchers screened 134 products for 130 types of toxins and found that many protein powders contained heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury), bisphenol-A (BPA, which is used to make plastic), pesticides, or other contaminants with links to cancer and other health conditions. Some toxins were present in significant quantities. For example, one protein powder contained 25 times the allowed limit of BPA.

          • OpticalCog on 19/09/2023 - 19:38

            @xximmortalxx: Tbf just becuase something is linked to cancer risk doesn’t mean it will get banned. BPA isn’t even on the IARC carcinogenics list yet (not saying it’s safe just hasn’t been evaluated/strong enough evidence) meanwhile processed meats (ham, bacon, frankfurts, etc.) are Class 1 carcinogens (I.e Known to cause cancer) and red meat (beef, pork, lamb) is a Class 2A (I.e probably causes cancer). Nobody rushing to cut them from their diets and there would be public out cry if we tried to ban any of them lol. For reference all that media attention around Aspartame was due to it be classed as a 2B (possible causes cancer) which is lower classification than bacon and steak :/

        • Budju on 18/09/2023 - 15:32

          Given it would be illegal claim 40% more protein than what is actually packaged in Australia, I'm guessing this was an American study of products on their market. I'm not convinced by this unless you've got direct evidence the company I linked is breaking Australian food labelling regulation, in which case you should send that information to the regulator.

          • antik on 18/09/2023 - 16:06

            @Budju: There’s no official approvals process prior to the release of food products, not like there is with pharmaceuticals/drugs.

            The standards are generally only enforced through complaints, via some random testing, or sometimes through targeted product testing studies. Studies such as the study above can be done by independent bodies just to make a point, or by one manufacturer to discredit others, or can be done by food authorities as part of general screening for suspected issues among types of products.

            • Budju on 18/09/2023 - 16:19

              @antik: You make it sound like the Australian food sector is basically unregulated and that nobody verifies food labelling law compliance.

              https://www.health.gov.au/topics/food-and-nutrition/about/fo…

              This is not the case.

              • antik on 18/09/2023 - 23:19

                @Budju: I never said Australian food standards aren’t regulated, however it is true that there is no official approval process through an authority prior to the release of foods in Australia. Generally nutritional label info is calculated, not derived from testing. A food company will often test the ingredients they use though. Authorities will do actual testing if there are complaints or concerns the labelling isn’t right.

                How do I know this? I know someone who works as a laboratory food tester for an authority. There are discrepancies relatively often ie products were not what they claimed to be. Sometimes a study is testing macronutrients, however most of the time they test for specifics, such as suspected issues among certain types of products due to reports or concerns.

                • Budju on 19/09/2023 - 12:48

                  @antik: Why don't we make a complaint and find out if it's worth the extra dosh then?
