Emcognito Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm thinking the protein powder I'm using in my breakfast shakes is giving me headaches. I'm going to give it another week before I toss it out the window, but I'm pretty sure it's the culprit. (Chronic migraine sufferer so I track everything, sleep, food, weather, etc. like a mad scientist.) So, I need recommendations. I generally use it to mix with fruit and almond milk as a meal replacement (not looking to make big gains or anything, just need a reason to not skip breakfast everyday and something to put old bananas in). I don't want something that tastes all vitaminy and would prefer something that's not going to kill my wallet. Anyone have suggestions? "Nope. That's just my face." Link to comment
Artinum Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 What kind is it? I had some trial packets from Optimum Fitness, who seem to be pretty popular. No headaches from them but didn't have enough of them to know for sure. What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud? It gets quite confusing... https://ff7crowdofclouds.wordpress.com/ Link to comment

Emcognito Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks guys. I'll check the links out. For the record it's X2 Body Fortress. I somehow completely missed that it has creatine in it which I don't need or want. "Nope. That's just my face." Link to comment
Mad Rocker Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Probably best to stick with as close to pure whey as possible if you're migraine-sensitive, I guess. Unless dairy triggers them for you (it does for a couple of my family), in which case there's always soy or rice powders. http://jackblog.orgJack Blog | The Blog of Jack Link to comment
