    Protein shakes are just food. It's a way to help you reach your daily protein targets if you struggle to get there from solid food alone. There is no difference between requirements for a man or a woman.

    If you are looking for a basic protein supplement then whey is the cheapest and widest available. Online UK stores such as Bulkpowders.co.uk and myprotein.com are very good value.

    I would avoid high street places such as Holland & Barrett as they are overpriced.

    In terms of flavour, it's a case of trial and error and finding what you like best. However, most people would choose chocolate as a fail safe flavour choice.

    i would avoid creatine, unless your target is to increase your muscle and lose bf% to that of a female athlete.

    PHD Diet whey is pretty good, it contains CLA and L-Carnitine, green tea extract and Flaxseed. It's a good all rounder.

    Amazon sells it for 20 nicker, cheapest one I have used that i have seen results from.

    no difference between male and female. i quite like optimum nutrition - they usually have offers on and the stuff is quite nice. phd is really nice but a bit on the pricey side - same with maximuscle.

    both PHD and ON do sample sizes for around £1 so you can see if you like them first :)
