Just curious would a special k protein drink be good to drink after going to the gym or do you guys know something better?

  • I would go for something with a little more protein and less sugar. Those have 10g protein, I believe? If you're talking about a high intensity workout, I'd shoot for 20g minimum in your post workout shake.

    Just speaking very generally since it's hard to give accurate advice without the context of your overall diet, you can probably find a protein source that provides more grams of protein at a better calorie total, which would allow you more calorie and macro freedom for your other food choices.
