Protein for Women

Chowder_17

There are tons of different proteins out there and I was curious what you recommend for woman? Thanks!

Personally, I use whey protein after my workouts to help build lean muscle. Other than that, I try to use lean meats and cheese to get my protein in my regular diet.

Women would want the same protein as men. I don't really understand your question. Do you mean like what brand of protein powder?

My nutritionist recommends Whey protein. Powder or shakes are available, look for 25 grams or more w/ no more than 200 calories per serving.

I'm guessing you mean protein powder?

I personally drink Muscle Milk (save me the lectures about it, please..) because I'm very picky about taste and I personally think it tastes the best. Yes, it is higher in fats - but these are the good fats. The ones our bodies need.

There's another brand called Fusion (I believe) that is pretty good too.

I've tried a TON of different powders and these two are my favorites. The rest are just plain ICK tasting to me!

This is just asking for trouble.

Whey protein powder for shakes comes in tons of great flavors - I LOVE chocolate, coffee, cappuccino, chocolate coconut - YUM!!! I have it every day for breakfast lately - can't get enough It was recommended by a nutritionist, too.

I hate Whey protein. I looked so hard for a good tasting one but never found it. I dealt with it for a long time though. When I decided to be vegan I started drinking soy protein and it tastes so much better to me! For whey I would recommend Optimum Nutrition. Dymatize Nutrition Elite Gourmet is pretty good too.

I know nothing about protein supplements, but I saw your beautiful family picture with a small baby. I don't know how old the pic is, or if you are breastfeeding or not, but I wanted to caution you that if you, are to watch which supplements you are taking. Sorry to be so personal, but as another mommy I want to make sure baby is not getting any extras that could be harmful. : )

I'm sorry. I meant what brand would be best for woman.

My son is 2 yrs old and my daughter is 5 weeks and I'm not breastfeeding. Thanks for the kind words!

I used the Jillian Michaels Natural Whey protein. I wont lie. It tastes HORRIBLE, but I dont eat a lot of meat and need a extra boost in the protein department, and I refuse to add other things to that to make it taste better. Adding juice or milk or fruit only adds more calories.

I recently purchased Mucle Milk Vanilla Creme it is really really good. Has a few more calories, but those calories are VERY worth while. Especially when I add ice to it..tastes like a VERY yumm milk shake.

I totally agree that most of those powders taste like junk. But I found Vi-Shakes a couple months ago, they are delicious, and SO nutritional!!!! Feel free to add me
