Oh Yeah Protein Bars Review

Another excellent protein bar is the Oh Yeah! protein bar from protein bar manufacturer ISS Research.  ISS Research is one of the top protein bar companies and the Oh Yeah! protein bar is one of the best protein bars.

The Oh Yeah! bar comes in both 45 gram and 85 gram sizes and in a number of great flavours, including almond fudge brownie, chocolate & caramel, cookie caramel crunch, peanut butter & caramel, peanut butter & strawberry and vanilla toffee fudge.  With all of these delicious options, it is easy to see why many people feel that Oh Yeah! bars are the best tasting protein bar.

The Oh Yeah! bar is a healthy protein bar, but those looking for a low calorie protein bar or a low calorie high protein bar might want to look elsewhere.  Although each flavor is slightly different, the 45 gram bars contain around 190 calories while the 85 gram bars contain between 340 and 380 calories.  In terms of protein content, the 45 gram bars contain approximately 15 grams of protein while the 85 gram bars contain around 30 grams of protein.  It should be noted that the Oh Yeah! protein bar is not strictly a whey protein bar; in addition to whey protein, Oh Yeah! bars contain soy protein and other forms of protein.  People looking for the best low carb protein bar should also look elsewhere as the carb content of the Oh Yeah! bar is relatively high, which makes sense given that this it is not a low calorie protein bar.

CytoSport Muscle Milk Review

CytoSport Muscle Milk is one of the cheapest and most popular protein powders available.  It contains both whey concentrate and whey isolate as part of its ingredients, meaning you are getting some of the highest quality type of whey protein in every serving.

CytoSport Muscle Milk as is the case with many of the cheaper brands of whey protein powder, has a high caloric content, due to the amount of sugar they put in the product. However for those going through a “bulk” cycle, having a slightly higher calorie protein powder may be a great thing to put on weight and muscle.  For regular users, using it less as a fitness supplement, there may be better alternatives available.

Due to the higher caloric content of CytoSport Muscle Milk, it tastes absolutely fantastic.  It has a slightly higher fat and sugar content than both Continue reading
