Hi everyone!! I was looking into whey protein powders/shakes. Everything I find only completely contradicts everything. I was looking to take whey protein to help with weight loss and toning up. Does anyone recommend a particular brand and have had success? What should I look at in regards to sugar and sodium percentage? Is whey protein also a meal supplement/substitution.
Sorry for all the question!! I am just looking to get information

I've been using the Body Fortress after exercising. It has low sugar numbers, 26g protein per scoop, 140 calories. Taste is acceptable, in fact I'm having a chocolate one, now. I use water to mix, stick it and some ice in the magic bullet, and voila! I also add a teaspoon of decaf instant coffee in now and again, for a mocha like taste, no extra calories.0

I haven't done much extra research beyond the common "protein after workout = good for muscle development". Personally, I like Trader Joe's Chocolate Whey in skim milk. By itself, 2 scoops is 17g and 130 cals and is the tastiest protein I've found.0

Thanks for the input; I had the same questions.0

I use Optimum Nutrition - Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein - Double Rich Chocolate. Its dang tasty stuff. Here is the way I use protein shakes. After each workout, within 30 -45 minutes I have the shake. This shake, I put a peach activia yogurt and some fresh berries in. Then later in the day, if I get the hunger pangs.. it is a great meal replacement. I have been attempting to keep my protein, carb, fat ratio at 40/40/20 respectively. Myfitnesspal on the mobile app has a way, go to the daily, then hit the pie chart... it gives you the ratio break down.
Good luck..0 -
thank you! Is it safe to take after workouts or just by itself without workouts?0

We use Body Fortress too. Very economical at WalMart, about $15.00 for a BIG container. I use about 1/2 a scoop per smoothie because I get enough protein from other sources.
I put ice and water in a blender. I add spinach, and at least 1/2 a banana, and generally 1/2c of another fruit. I add 1T Chia seed and 2T milled flax. It's delicious.0 -
Try to search for Combat Whey Protein Powder by MusclePharm. 130cals per serving. A combination of fast and slow digesting proteins, feeds your muscle for longer. I personally like chocolate peanut butter, cookies and cream and banana respectively.
Trust me, this one is goooood. Tastes awesome too.0 -

I use Body Fortress after workouts too, and it's actually pretty tasty! I add ice and powdered peanut butter, peppermint extract, or instant coffee for a little variety.0

I use Precision Engineered Whey Protein Isolate because it's lactose free and I have a problem with lactose.1 scoop = 30g protein, 140 calorie. I like the chocolate flavor with a cup of water for a quick addition after a workout or before. Usual do a combo with fruits in the blender for an added bonus.0

I just bought this Body Fortress Protein, it was on sale at Grocery Outlet and I figured WHAT THE HECK! Do you have any other ways to use it? I've heard of protein pancakes as well as your regular shake/drink.0 -
I use the brand Body Fortress from walmart as well. You get a ton, it's cheap, it tastes and dissolves good, and has a nice amount of protein with hardly any carbs/sugar.0

Skip the whey and use a protein blend like Trutein, XF UP 2.0, or iForce Protean. Better taste.0

I use Designer Whey french vanilla...1 scoop is 100 calories and 18 g of protein. It's very low in fat, sugar and carbs too. I like to make protein smoothies after workouts with frozen berries, almond milk and the powder. Very good!0
