i thought all whey protein are basically the same?
they are all proteins with all the essential amino acid profile.
derivatives of soy/milk/magic doesnt actually matter because all these are going to be digested into amino acids anyway.

what to consider then?
taste. main deal breaker.
price. specifically good protein perscoop and price ratio. some brand sells cheap but either low protein per serving, many scoops per serving or plain low servings per pack.

of course, talking about whey here, not mass gainer. these are blends which supposed to be kinda unique to each brand.

but for protein, in general sense, i prefer chicken breast.
next would be fishes. tilapias are pretty economical and easy to cook too. any fish would be economical if you have direct access to the fishing docks. and them fish oils.
and eggs! make sure to cook them as this increase the bioavailability. of course, you are free to have em raw incase you want to put them in shakes or ego boost but its pretty wasteful though. and dont throw away the yolks! those are the best part. dont worry about cholestrol. there are plenty of researches that proves dietery cholesterol are not linked to blood cholesterol. and i think eggs cholesterol are good hdl cholesterol. not your oils, fast foods and snacks bad ldl cholesterol.
