I know I need more protein in my diet and was thinking of buying protein powder to have in the house on days I'm struggling to get the number up.

I live in the UK.

Where to buy and what to buy?

My BFP is currently 36% and I have recently started to lift weights 3x a week and cardio 3-4 times a week.

I hoping for a product I can use in baking if possible?

    I'm a fan of Syntrax Protein Powder. Their Nectar line is super yummy without blasting your carb count out of the water. I've used the chocolate truffle for making goods before. I just got some of their non-flavored medical powder to try with high protein bread like goods. I order mine off Amazon and I believe you can order it through the UK Amazon too. It's the cheapest place to order it. :flowerforyou:

    I personally like BioTrust: http://www.biotrust.com/

    Not cheap though, unfortunately, but it's good quality and the vanilla tastes pretty good in smoothies. :) Not sure if you can bake it though, I would contact the company and ask. Though I did try putting the stuff in a hot drink once, it didn't go too well. lol!

    Have you considered maybe increasing your protein intake from foods instead, rather than with supplements? Unless you're a vegetarian, of course.

    I use Optimum Nutrition Gold's Double Rich Chocolate Whey and I love it. 24 grams of protein for only 120 calories. It's tasty and has a very mixable consistency, so I imagine it would work for baking, but I've never tried.

    Thank you!!

    I put an order in with MyProtein so I will see how I get on.


    Yes I know I can eat more high protein food but was wanting more protein per calorie to stay within my calorie goals but smash my protein goal.
