Are those the same as the "bulk up" powders?
Bulk up powders are weight gainers - they're high in calories, about the same amount of protein, and usually medium in carbohydrates. Each shake can have anywhere from 500-2000 calories, depending on brand. You take it if you want to put on weight.
Protein shakes are usually about 100 calories per scoop, about 25gm protein per serving, and low in carbohydrates. You'd take protein shakes to help ingest enough protein.
Oh, and from another thread, GNC is not a good place to get supplements. I can't believe a ferengi would tell someone to buy their stuff at Overpriced Nutrition Center 😛
