I was using 6 star whey protein. I ran out so I switched to body fortress whey protein from walmart since it has a little more protein. Everytime I take it I get a little nauseated and have slight head ache. This sensation lasts until I work out. It happens everytime I take it. I'm used to downing 6 scoops a day but I've really cut back on my protein consumption because I dont know whats happening. I think I'm just gonna eat more chicken and tuna.
You guys have any ideas as to what is happening? The ingredients say it has creatine in it but I've taken that pure before with no issues.

i use it but dont have any problems with it, though i only take 1-2 scoops a day to supplement the protein i need,
if you can get more chicken and tuna protein then by all means do.
are you drinking enough water, you might need to drink more water afterward

I'm gonna try drinking more water and eating more chicken. I didnt know if it was unusual or not to have 4-6 scoops a day( I go through a tub a week).
Does it have a lot of sugar? You may be getting a large insulin spike.
Another possibility is water.
Body fortress sucks though. I would recommend ALN, and if you can't afford it, Six Star.

I agree with Chris. Used the stuff when cash strapped and never had a problem.

That's what you get for buying anything from Walmart. God is punishing you.

I went to gnc and bought the 3 lb tub of gnc whey protein they have.( I dont have time to order nitrean cause it wont have time to get here before I move in 3 weeks)
Its much better and doesnt make me sick at all. 6 scoops a day are just fine with this stuff and it costs about the same. Its a MUCH better product than body fortress. Back to 200g of protein a day for me!

I get nauseous from that stuff too. It makes me feel crappy enough to not want to eat for hours, which is alright on a cut, but is a pain when bulking. Until I can afford Nitrean or another really really high quality powder, I switched to EAS. I'm not having the nausea anymore with that.

Never had a problem with BF, besides the taste that is.
