Hey all knowledgable ones! Bodybuilders would be ideal!
I am wanting to purchase and start drinking some protein shakes..... BUT.... there is just so many different protein shakes on the market!
I do not want meal replacements, as I love my food! I just want to add more protein to my diet, without having to consume a cooked chicken everyday! (haha)
I want to preserve the muscle I currently have and continue to grow my muscles, all whilst losing fat etc..
I read that whey isolate protein is more pure than standard protein powders....
so ...
does anyone use protein shakes?
Which brand do you use?
What flavour/flavours do you like? Dislike etc... Taste good/crap etc...
What results, if any, have you seen.
Do you have any advice for me with regards to supplements?
Facts about me:
Female.
31 yrs old.
80kgs
27% fat
Cardio - 60-120mins 5x per week
Weights 30-60 mins 4x per week.
Legs 2x p/week
Chest, arms, back (everything else!) 2x per week
Goals: Decrease fat %. Trim up the body.
Thanks in advance.

Repost?
Optimum Nutrition whey.
5lb jug is only $45 on www.vitaminshoppe.com.
Stay away from cheap protein because most of them arent any better than a chicken leg!
Hope that helps!0
