Opticen or Nitrean?

[jamrock]

I can't afford both right now, plus I want to get something for recovery..and maybe creatine..

I know one is just protein, the other an MRP. I am carb cycling to an extent but at the same time I'd love to be able to whip up a shake with actual nutritional value to it to make things easier for me.. Trying to shed this flabby ass.

So which, Opticen or Nitrean?

Or....should I just get the muscle-tech brand 'Low Carb Meal Replacement' shake?

Or...should I be looking into something else?

If you're trying to lose weight then you want to ingest less calories with your protein shake. Therefore I suggest Nitrean.

Id get Nitrean. You can add other things to it to get more carbs/fats if you want.

Another vote for Nitrean, I've taken both before.

What they said. If your trying to lose weight, then I don't see the need for a MRP or weightgainer.

Another vote for Nitrean. The chocolate is yummy.

Nitrean x 7...like ericg stated above...its much more versatile due to the fact that you can make it into a homemade MRP if needed and also just a protein...

I actually prefer the vanilla, but the chocolate isnt bad.

If you do plan on mixing it with things (fruits, nuts, pb, etc.) than i would go with the vanilla, since the taste seems to be more versatile

Thanks everyone!

I took a trip to the shake place next to the gym and they have some things on the shelf. I read a few labels and got an understanding for what is in these products. So I will follow your suggestions and buy the Nitrean. Probably vanilla since I do plan to add frozen berries and peanut butter (not at the same time).

I bet that would be pretty good w/ all three.
