    I use Visalus sweet cream soy protein (90 calories) when replacing a meal. I also use Myofusion whey protein after my workouts....

    90 Calories sounds more like it! Im trying to cut now so the lower calories the better...thanks!

    GNC AMP. One to two scoops depending on the workout for that day.

    My SO has a "Cookies and Cream" protein shake he uses. I'll have to go find out the brand name.

    Despite it's name, it's pretty low in cals and sugar.

    I kinda like the Pure Protein ready-to-drink vanilla shakes. Some people don't care for them, but my taste buds have gotten used to the flavor. Their convenient, not too terribly expensive and have 23g of protein per serving.

    What are some of the best protein shakes to use, especially for calorie restricted diets? Which protein shakes do you use and how often? :drinker:

    I have two protein shakes per day and often use plain protein in some of my food preparation. There are lots of protein powders. Some of it, much of it, is junk. Consumer Reports did an article about a year ago that showed how much heavy metal, including arsenic, most of it has in it.

    If you're looking for quality and safety plus good taste, I suggest my favorite, Energy First. It's whey isolate, which is the very best whey and much easier on the stomach. It 's also from grass fed cows that are healthy and raised naturally. Of course, it has no antibiotics or junk and no sugar. It has stevia for sweetening. It' s very natural and they only have vanilla and chocolate. Both are rich and mix quickly. They're also expensive compared to most of the other brands.

    Thank you for posting this! I just found the article online- scary!!

    Where do you buy the Energy First? I found some BioChem which is 100% Whey protein and I'm thinking of trying that unless I can find the Energy First.

    I noticed that nobody responded earlier in the thread about Shakeology. Here is a link to the ingredients and science behind it. http://www.shakeology.com/the-science
    It doesn't use artificial ingredients or soy and includes more nutrition than any of these other hakes.
