I was just wondering what kind of protein powder everyone uses? I was using Whey before and this time got soy and not losing as good as I was when I was using Whey.

What do you prefer?

    I have seen a lot about Whey Protein. What are the benefits from those of you who use it? I am vegetarian and am not really getting as much protein as I should. Should this be something I should look into and what do you do with it? :ohwell:

    Naugustyniak: When I was using PVL Strawberry/Banana Whey Protein Powder I just mixed it with either skim milk or water and a banana and it was YUMMY!

    Does anyone know the difference between whey and soy protein powders?

    Why should I throw the soy one out?

    Jay Robb's Whey Protein is the bomb!!!!

    It tastes great just mixed with water! Tastes even better with low fat milk.

    It's an easy and tasty way to get some added protein without a lot of extra calories. I like it after a tough workout.

    A bit off topic, but what's the best place to buy these proteins? GNC is crazy expensive, and walmart doesn't seem to have much selection.
