Whey Protien??

Any one recommend a good brad for whey protein. Looking for something for after I workout. With so many things on the market I just don't know what they all mean. Thanks in advance

    dymatize ISO 100 Vanilla - you can add anything to flavor it like you want. I use cinnamon!

    Ditto

    BSN also has great tasting protein powders if you need some a little heavier on calories.

    this one.

    that said, you don't HAVE to have anything after you work out, and if you do it doesn't HAVE to be a protein shake. It can range from nothing at all to any type of solid food you like.

    Syntha-6 is probably the best tasting I've ever had. I can honestly say it actually tastes good with water if you can't get your hands on milk. If you don't want to pay so much for protein powder you can try Six Star whey protein from Wal Mart, Walgreens, Sam's Club, etc. It tastes good with milk or water and at $20 for a 2.5lb tub it's very economical..... considering that all you need is a single scoop for 30 grams of protein it's a better deal than Muscle Milk powder which my buddy is using. You can only absorb something like 23 grams at a time anyway so there is a bit of overkill. However, Muscle&Fitness magazine recommends 40 grams after lifting. Not really sure about the science behind it. I'll drink one scoop of Six Star with milk so that's good for almost 40 grams.
  • I use Pure Protein; the triple chocolate shake is my favorite. I'm on a tight budget so this works for my pocket book. I can get it at Walmart for $9.97. One scoop has 100 calories, 4 net carbs, 3g fiber and 15g of protein. I usually make a shake consisting of one scoop of powder, 1 cup unsweetened Silk Almond Milk and a half cup of mixed berries. Good Luck to you!
  • I absolutely LOVE the Kazein whey isolate.. They have three flavours (chocolate, strawberry-banana, vanilla ice cream) and all are amazing and mix well. :-)

    Sometimes I get shaky after weight training. So i figured this would be the best option. What kind of food would help me with that?

    I have read and heard from personal trainers and some individuals on here that chocolate milk is a very good post workout drink.

    I personally like Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. I like the strawberry the best.
    1 scoop is 26 G and 2 scoops is 52 G
    The key is to put it in a blender,add 1 cup of water, and I like to add some fresh or frozen strawberries to it.
    Blend for 2-3 minutes. It's delicious and no chalky tasting.
