Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount. **Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?** A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired. IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem. ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear. **Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...** A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results. **Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX** A: I mean, my dude, i am horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings. .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4×5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left) so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks. Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down my favorite protein powder! *by R***A on August 24, 2026* I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for a while now, and it’s honestly lived up to all the hype.
