GNC vs O.N.

Back in November last year, I blogged about this GNC offer which allowed me to get the GNC Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein (6 Lbs) for half the price at RM174.00 per tub. One and a half month down the road, my tub of GNC whey reaches the bottom. And I bought a new tub yesterday!

This time it's Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey (5 Lbs). Got it for RM200.00 from a fellow gym buddy. Many people have recommended O.N. Here's the comparison chart:

Nutrition facts for both products (click to enlarge).

GNC does make people FAT! Here's why: a single scoop of GNC has 31g of powder, compared to O.N.'s 32g. Bearing in mind the 1g deficit, GNC packs 66% more in total fat content, 200% more saturated fat, 33% more cholesterol, and 25% more in total carbs compared to O.N.'s whey! And if that's not enough to eternally banish GNC from your gym workout buying list, it also pack about 17% less PROTEIN! Unforgiveable! No wonder GNC so generous, give "Buy 1 Free 1" promotion. Yucks, I can smell lard on my body already...
