I've been slamming them down recently and haven't had this problem...

What brand are you using?

My roommate makes those every single day. It's just about half of his diet. For some reason he sees it necessary to get the chocolate powder all over the kitchen after he makes it, so it's on the fridge handle, it's in the sink, on the faucet, it coats any new sponges we have immediately after he cleans his blender turning them a nice I-don't-want-to-wash-something-I-eat-off-of-with-that black. I even opened a packet of my yummy honey smoked turkey to find that sh!t in there. ARrr...

too much proteins... means the excess has go out somewhere... some proteins contain sulfur and when they break down... guess how they come out?

I use the GNC Pro Performance stuff. I'm taking about 3 a day now. I don't feel bloated after I take em though.

I know its not the brand, as I have tried about 5 or 6 different brands, and they all do this. I do know the first week I take them, when I am off for a while then back on, that I take a dump like 2 times a day or so.

But as for the smell ... it's the protein cause they only get stinky like this right after i take a shake, and same happens to my brother and some peeps i work out with.

Are you mixing it with milk? If you're lactose-intolerant that could be to blame. Protein shakes do have a reputation for doing this though, unfortunately.

Just feel lucky you weren't drinking the protien shakes we had 5-7 years ago. Jesus those things were bad. One shake would sit in your stomach like a ball of lead and make you feel like you were going to hurl. Thank God we're past that.

I am using MetRX Extreme Chocolate stuff.

Powder+some milk+lots of ice = protein ice cream.

Its so good, I let my friend taste it and he thought it was the best homemade ice cream ever :)

He didn't know about 39grams of whey protein :D

3 what? scoops?

protein shakes are like 80% of my diet, i take around 210g of protein a day, just from supplements. the only time i ever notice the stinky farts is when i don't work out that day, or don't work out hard enough.

basically, your taking more protein than you need daily. just wondering, but why exactly are you taking protein supplements?

I bet your probably taking a brand thats sweetened with sugar or fructose. Also, brands that contain soy will make your sail full, too. Try a protein powder that is 100% Whey Isolate that is sweetened with Sucralose. Sucralose is the sweetest sweetener on the market. I use a brand called Eclipse 2000. Its definately the best tasting one Ive ever had. The brand doesnt matter just as long as its sweetened with 100% Sucralose and its 100% Whey Isolate. Stay away from the Whey protein that contain concentrates. Its a cheaper protein with more fat.
