    I don't think it's necessary, either. There are so many schools of thought over how much protein we really need. I heard a lecture on talk radio the other night about how its complex carbohydrates that we need more of when we're building muscle, not protein. Too much protein can actually be toxic to your kidneys.

    Anyway, I'm no expert, and I don't know who to believe, but I think a good balanced diet will give enough protein.

    talk radio is wrong. ketogenic diets have been shown to be effective even in bulking diets. that has no carbs.


    you are wrong as well. There is nothing toxic about protein and your kidneys in a HEALTHY person

    Try a simple flavor, can't go wrong with chocolate. ON-whey chocolate malt is awesome.

    Adding my 2 cents here, I cannot STAND the taste of Whey itself so in everything that I've ever tried that is all I could taste yuk!

    So when looking for alternatives I started taking Vega One (it's plant based dairy, gluten and soy free) it's not the best tasting I'm sure (I recommend chocolate) but with chocolate almond milk its fine and the new formula is much more finely milled so it mixes much better. Several stores sell a 1 portion pack which is great for trying out without having to buy the tub.

    It only has 15g protein in a scoop which is a lot less than others but I only use it to replace breakfast a few mornings a week.
