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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Stuff! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 28, 2026* I previously have been using another popular protein powder. When pricing went extremely overboard, I saw this Optimum Nutrition Gold protein powder at a decent price and decided to give it a try.My 1st scoop of Optimum Nutrition Gold went into the blender with milk. The powder blended well. It was way thicker than the other brand. I was very impressed & satisfied with it's texture. There was zero chaulky after taste. This powder actually tastes like chocolate ! I like that alot.My 2nd scoop later that day was into a tumbler filled with black coffee and once again it blended well, although I mixed with a knife stirring it by hand (I think I could've mixed it a little more but it was still good as it was). It actually made the coffee taste just like chocolate. My other powder came close to the chocolate taste but Optimum Nutrition Gold came out way ahead for is real chocolate taste. No after taste either and just a smooth tasty drink.Overall, after only 2 scoops of trying Optimum Nutrition Gold this is now my new go to protein powder hands down! Not to mention Optimum Nutrition Gold has 6 more grams of protein per scoop than my previous powder that I was using did. The next test will be this powder with water mixed. I'm sure it won't disappoint either.So it you're looking for a protein powder I recommend trying this. I am very pleased with my choice purchasing Optimum Nutrition Gold.10 Stars if there was room for more stars.Your new customer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent protein powder! Great quality & taste! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2026* I’ve tried several protein powders over the years, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is easily one of my favorites. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is smooth, rich, and not overly sweet or chalky like many others. It mixes easily with both water and milk without clumping, and the texture is creamy.Each serving provides 24g of protein, making it a great option after workouts or when I need a quick, high-protein snack. It keeps me feeling full, helps with muscle recovery, and doesn’t leave me feeling bloated.The quality, taste, and value make this a product I’ll continue to buy. If you’re looking for a reliable whey protein that actually tastes good and mixes well, I highly recommend giving this one a try! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite flavor! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 5, 2026* I’ve tried several flavors of this protein powder, and Double Rich Chocolate is by far my favorite. I wasn’t a fan of the Peanut Butter flavor because it was too sweet for my taste, but flavor is personal, so your experience may be different.The protein itself is excellent. It mixes easily, has a smooth texture, and tastes great in shakes. I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition for a long time, and the quality has always been consistent.If you’re not sure which flavor to choose, I highly recommend giving Double Rich Chocolate a try! ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Double Rich Chocolate, 2 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 60 Servings, 300 Grams (Packaging May Vary) - VELOMIX -2 Pack- 28 oz Protein Shaker Bottles for Protein Mixes - 2x Wire Whisk | Leak Proof Shaker Cups for Protein Shakes | Protein Shaker Bottle Pack | Shakers for Protein Shakes-Black&Transparent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/666699-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-whey-protein-double-rich-chocolate-2](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/666699-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-whey-protein-double-rich-chocolate-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
