Whilst Rhonda tries to get her protein her diet, where needed she supplements her protein intake with protein powder.
According to Q&A #57 (March 2024), she has a few criteria when choosing which to take:
- She prefers whey isolate to whey concentrate because, broadly speaking, isolate has a higher protein content, less lactose, less fat and less calories.
- She prefers whey powder from grass-fed cows, as the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is better. Specifically, higher in omega-3s and lower in omega-6s, compared to the non-grass-fed versions. Organic if possible.
- She prefers cold processed or micro-filtered protein, as it contains more of the the micronutrients found in whey.
According to her August 2024 Q&A she’s currently using two brands:
- Thorne – Whey Protein Isolate – Chocolate
- Simply Tera’s Organic Whey Protein – Unsweetened
Rhonda’s criteria for protein powder is very similar to Peter Attia, who uses a brand called Promix (see 1:48:23 on YouTube where they discuss this).
They make a Grass Fed Whey Isolate version which comes in chocolate, vanilla and unflavoured versions. For 10% off Promix orders, see this discount code.
