Vegan, whey, whey isolate, egg white...

What's the diff in terms of end result?

There is a difference between digestibility in some of these.  Just because it says it has say 25g of protein doesn't mean all that protein is bioavailable.  Isolates are often the best, and I heard they are particularly useful to the bariatric crowd due to their easy absorption.

 

Whey vs egg vs pea protein sources.  It is simply where it is coming from.  IME Whey tastes the best.  However I am pre op and I hear that some people tolerate various sources better.
