I am consistently low on protein and I am think of incorporating a protein powder into my diet. I have no idea where to buy though, does anyone have a recommendation?

    We get hours form Costco and use Cytosport whey. Tastes great with water or milk. I prefer to use it in my smoothies

    I use amplify XL from GNC.

    I would suggest going to a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe (I think Wal-Mart, grocery stores, and other supplement shops have them too) to get the single serving packets they sell. You can try many different ones to figure out what you like without having to invest in a giant tub of the stuff.

    Does anyone have any comments on the FitMiss protein powder? It's got good reviews everywhere I looked up and it's only 90 calories/scoop. Really tempted to give it a go

    I love optimum nutrition (French vanilla & extreme milk chocolate are my favorites!)

    Best price I've found has been amazon of all places. 2lbs (about 30 servings) for $30.

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is the best tasting stuff I've found, particularly the mocha cappuccino variety. I buy it from BB.com.

    +1 on Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein

    +4?

    I too get mine from Amazon. Extreme chocolate is my favorite flavor.

    And I just received a 4 lb tub of ON casein powder for slow release protein to take before bed. I hear the casein usually doesn't taste as good, but I'm waiting to find out for myself.

    Whatever doesn't make you spend your nights on the toilet.

    Get mine from GNC or even a Walmart brand when I was first starting out.

    Gold Standard 100% whey is my preference

    I'll mix it with 12 oz of almond milk. I'm pretty sure that will require an extra trip to the bathroom, although I'll be standing up. And I wear my Fitbit when I sleep. The more trips to the bathroom I make, the more steps I get. With any luck, I'll get in a couple miles before I wake up.

    I have Optimum Nutrition 100% whey double rich chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I like them both. I mix with water and they're easy to take and the texture is good.
