The goal was to reduce the Sulphur even more (beef protein and pea protein are lower SAA) and It's finally as good as it's going to get. I add in traditional food based on activity (carbs if cardio, protein if lifting, etc.)
How to best prepare the Masa. Heat 1 L water to 50degrees Celsius (use a candy thermometer to check). Use a hand blender and blend in masa. Once well blended put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning it will be thick (don't panic) add .5L water and use hand blender to mix in the rest of your powders, continue adding water until you have 2 liters total. The grittiness will be very very minimal and the gas issues will be significantly resolved as well.
I added in 100% of the ingredients including the Soy Lecthin (helps emulsify the fat for easier mixing/storage and xanthan gum for a significantly improved mouthfeel.

This formula is for reference ONLY (DO NOT USE) and needs to be drastically re-visited due to extreme beefyness.... True Nutrition Protein Blend (Cutting formula) 9.49 20% Whey Protein Concentrate Super Grade 25% US Milk Protein 30% Beef Protein Isolate 25% Pea Protein Concentrate
Once I run out of GNC mega in 400 days I'll get rid of it and include the folic acid pill instead to reduce cost a bit more. Ideally I'll be able to drop the Stevia and simply have TrueNutrition pre-flavor it for me.
