My Protein impact whey

Can anyone advise me the correct amount of impact whey to take if I am looking to get 30g of protein from a shake. The reason I am confused is I bought a set of digital scales and when i weighed the large scoop when it was full of powder it weighed 26g with the  scoop weighing about 8g. Before now I always just used one full scoop as advised which said 25g of powder providing 23g of protein but now I know this includes the plastic scoop i am wondering if I need to use 2 scoops to get about 30g of protein in a shake.
 
cheers in advance
 
 

I don't think there's any need to be that anal unless your looking to compete, aim for roughly 1.5 scoops if your looking to hit the 30g mark.

Thanks for the quick reply, wasn't being anal just looking to clarify roughly how much to scoop, i wont be using the scales every time i use it, was just wondering how much other folk that use this protein take at a sitting because after weighing it I reckon I have been getting close to 15g a shake when my understanding is I really should be looking for roughly 30g protein a shake, unless I am mistaken?

The weight isn't including the scoop, for 20g of protein its roughly 26g of flavoured impact whey, so 39g of powder will yeild roughly 30g protein

Is it really 76.92% for flavoured mate?
This would seem high to me for a wpc80 flavoured on an as-is basis?
 
 

Come on mate, scoops mate, bang that down ya. Id rather have slightly more protien then less.

Alterego, I'm only assuming that mate based on the details of the product online. It says roughly 5% less for flavoured and 8% less protein for choc flavours, so to get 20g from chocolate flavours I've been using 27.5g of protein powder :)

I think however you will find that the unflavoured wpc80 is about 77-79% on an as-is basis - it will vary batch to batch.
 
You have to take the 3-8% off of this.
 
It is hard for the co's as the dairies sell on the dry and they have to sell on the as-is so off the bat if we want to look at it like this the company is down 4% protein.
 
Just to be a pedant you'd need 28.5g to get the 20 from the choc!

you can actually pack loads in a scoop if you compress it tight :)     but just dont think about it mate just get a scoop and a half in there doesnt matter if you go over.

Yeah this is what i was thinking, better more than less, thanks for all the replies guys minimum of 1.5 scoops now!
