I'm curious at what protein powders people are using? I am currently using Advocare Meal Replacement shakes (mostly because I had a pantry full of them). I'd like to find a good protein powder instead of the meal replacement. I'd also like it to be as healthy as possible. I've tried a few. For example, the organic pea powder stuff. Yuk!

I use isopure, I love it.0

I use Cellucor protein powders mainly because they taste very good. Right now I'm using up the strawberry milkshake. A lot cheaper than Advocare as well.0

I might try the Isopure, although it seems to be high in sodium.....0

What do you mean by "healthy" exactly. Most protein powders I've ever come across are pretty much protein...that's pretty much it.
I use Optimum Nutrition Whey Isolate0 -
Maybe more natural. If you look at the ingredients you will find many additives. Color, flavor, fillers, preservatives... the list goes on & on.0

Cellucor for me. Best flavors in my opinion.0

Yes, I know. That is why I am looking for my best option.0

Honestly, just get what tastes good. As long as you're not sucking down a dozen shakes a day, just use them when you're in a pinch and need protein. Don't sweat the "healthiest option."0

Protein powders are more convenient than meats, fish and egg. Protein powders can be divided into two categories such as animal source Protein and vegetable source protein.0

What would be the best protein powder for women trying to lose weight? I need to lose 150lbs and I would like something I could take with me as a breakfast option. My doctor and I agreed on low carb, high protein food options but I don't have the time in the mornings to cook breakfast.0

Protein powder isn't needed to lose weight. It helps you reach your protein macro if you Are having a hard time getting it from food. Weight loss is calories in vs calories out0 -

^This. As stated, the only thing NEEDED to lose weight is a caloric deficit. Protein powder is just a convenience food to assist you if you need to use it to hit your daily protein goals. Whey is generally "king" compared to blends, vegan sources, etc... based on cost and most protein content for fewer calories. Whey comes in concentrate and isolate. The only difference between the two is concentrate has more milk sugar and a little more fat, thus having a little more caloric content. Isolate has less milk sugar (thus some people tolerate it better) and a little less fat, this being less calories and typically, a little more expensive. Protein powders marketed to females are typically more expensive as you pay for the pretty packaging (period).

I use spiru-tein in the chocolate flavor. It's pretty low cal (90-100 calories) and has tonsss of nutrients with plenty of protein in it. I think it tastes pretty good especially after the gym or first thing in the morning.0
