Peanut Butter is an excellent mass gainer
The top product for all of us was the incredible Peanut Butter. We received a one-kilogram bucket filled with finely crushed peanut pieces in a smooth protein paste.
To be fair, the manufacturer’s information about the absence of sugar and salt in the product was completely confirmed. And most importantly, this did not in any way affect the taste of the product!!! It has a very good noble nutty taste. FIT MAGAZINE VERDICT – Myprotein PEANUT BUTTER is a great addition to your breakfast. A sandwich with whole grain bread and a layer of peanut butter is exactly what an athlete needs to properly increase calorie intake. We're all on a high-quality mass gain right now, so it went with a bang!

My Fettuccine and My Penne – we didn’t finish it, but maybe it’s a matter of taste
Since FIT MAGAZINE values its reputation as an objective and honest expert in the field of sports nutrition, we cannot help but talk about the disadvantages that, in our opinion, the Myprotein product line has. We are talking about protein pasta products called My fettuccine and My penne (pasta). This innovative idea seemed dubious to us, although the product looks very tasty. You purchase a box containing 10 sealed packages of pasta. Everything is very convenient to unpack, carry and heat up in the microwave or in a frying pan. There is only one minus - protein pasta tastes like pieces of plastic, which, no matter what you flavor with them, still remain so... We cooked them with cheese, shrimp and vegetables, but the result was always the same - after the meal, fettuccine and penne remained on the plate of those present ... Our conclusion is that if you still really want pasta, opt for good Italian pasta made from durum wheat - you will get both benefits and gastronomic pleasure.

My introduction to VitaMeal
Just before the New Year 2022, your humble servant decided to start preparing for the summer, and to make the preparation more effective, I decided to bribe a sports drink.
Because I had previously had a positive experience of taking sports nutrition from a well-known (and therefore quite expensive) brand, but this time I wanted to buy something no less effective, but more practical, and of course with good reviews (a little Easter egg). This is where I met the VitaMeal brand.
Who will find this article useful?

Protein industry in the world
Veterans of Soviet bodybuilding recalled that at the dawn of this sport, they consumed infant formula and powdered milk as an additional source of protein. Subsequently, the production of protein and other sports supplements became a separate industry. The ancestor of protein was a whey derivative from milk.
For a long time, only foreign brands were the leaders of this industry. There are certain leaders in the supplement market that have been in demand for years, such as Optimum Nutrition, QNT, Maxler, and VpLab Nutrition.
In recent years, Russian-made additives have been steadily catching up with imports. True, raw materials are still, as a rule, produced abroad (Australia, Germany, etc.). But in terms of BZhU (the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. - RBC) and the content of active ingredients, they sometimes even surpass imported analogues, and the taste and consistency are selected taking into account the preferences of the Russian consumer.
In the USA, on the contrary, little attention is paid to taste, since the consumer considers supplements to be “functional nutrition” and is not picky about taste and consistency, which cannot be said about Russians.
Today, when you go to any sports nutrition store, you will find a wide range of proteins of different brands, packaging, flavors and even types - and all of them for different purposes. Next, let's look at the main types of proteins:
- Whey (concentrate, isolate and hydroisolate)
- Casein
- Vegan (pea, rice, etc.)
- Multicomponent
- Beef, Egg, Soy
Let's try to understand this diversity and understand which protein best serves certain purposes. But, as the Master of Sports of Russia in bodybuilding told Denis Gusev, protein is not a nutritional replacement, but a supplement.

Whey protein (WHEY PROTEIN)
The most common and widespread type, which is made from whey (remains in the production of cheeses). The composition of this protein is quite balanced, containing all the necessary amino acids, including BCAA (branched-chain amino acids - a complex of amino acids). It is divided into three types:
- Concentrate is the simplest and most affordable form of protein that is suitable for beginner athletes.
- Isolate - has faster absorption, contains less carbohydrates and sugar, is more nutritious, but more expensive. Suitable for weight loss, dieting, drying.
- Hydroisolate contains exclusively protein and is highly digestible, but it is also the most expensive.
Typically, whey protein can be taken both before and after a workout.
