Protein Powder!

I just bought some protein powder from the health food shop and it just says Add Milk or Water and Stir..it doesnt say how much powder i should add...do you guys have any idea?
 
a scoop, perhaps. lol
 
lol... get a butter knife and feel around in there.. I've bought a lot of protein, and there's ALWAYS a scoop, and it's never on the top, or easy to find lol..

I got the end of a fork...same sh it i guess different smell..and there is definetely no scoop in there...this is Australia remember we are in the southern hemisphere so everything is in reverse...lol.
 
strange that there is no scoop.

it should say how much proiten and carbs are in 100g. this is really improtant. its gonna be in the area of 60g protien and 4g of carbs, or 14g protien and 70g carbs.
(this is really ruff, but you get the idea)

if its higher on carbs than protien then throw it out the window or make a cake cos you just get a tub of choc flour. high carb protien powder is crap, it looks like its cheap, but tastes bad, has no protien in it and the carbs you should get from your food anyway.
 
kinda on the same note, a food scale is a good investment. i found that most scoops that come with powders come out short. the dymatize powder i have now, the serving size is 30 grams but the scoop gives 26.

yeah thats great. When your buying protien all you need to look at is the amount of protien per 100g and thats its pure whey. So thats one is fine.
do you know how much protien you need a day? do you know how to work it out and use the powder to supliment?

Believe it or not I got a protein powder that didn't come with a scoop. I finished the entire container without finding a scoop! Luckily I had left over scoops from previous containers :) .
