I am looking for a good protein to have after a workout or a meal replacement. But i am trying to lose weight not gain.

Help anyone?

    Protein powders don't all make you gain or bulk up. Just make sure you check for the calorie counts (those aimed for gains are very high in calories).

    I use MuscleTech in chocolate or vanilla. I workout at 4 a.m. and have a scoop mixed with water immediately after my workout. It's low in calorie by itself, but if you're looking for a meal replacement, then I add in milk, pb and spinach for more calories.

    My favorite is Dymatize Elite Whey in the vanilla flavor. It's about $24 from Amazon for 2 pounds, and you can get Prime.

    I have been using Shaklee 180. It has leucine, which is an amino acid that helps muscles recover after a workout. Most times I use it as meal replacement, but its also wonderful as a recovery drink after a hard workout. I also enjoy that fact that they have 4 flavors instead of just chocolate and vanilla!
