I've been thinking of buying the EAS Simply Protein 5lb shake for like 25 bucks.. that's HALF of what I'm paying now. And it's like getting another pound free....lol



Check the servings for each of those Slim, you are actually making out better with the EAS.

Serving size for GNC Mega Whey - 65 grams and you get 40 grams of protein.

Serving size for EAS Simply Protein Complete Whey - 28 grams and you get 20 grams of protein.

To get 40 grams of protein from EAS you need 2 servings = 28 grams * 2 = 56 grams.

So it actually takes less EAS to get the same amount of protein.



now lets look at prices

EAS from www.netrition.com 5 lbs for $29.95 +$4.95 for shipping = $34.90. 5lbs = 2.268 kg = 2268 grams / 56 grams per serving = approx 40 servings (40 gram protein) $34.90 for 40 servings = $0.88 per serving

GNC $44 for 4 lbs. 4 lbs = 1.814 kg = 1814 grams / 65 grams per serving = approx 28 servings. $44 for 28 servings = $1.57 per serving


You are paying almost twice as much per 40 gram serving of protein if you buy the GNC.
