Protein??

Costco has the best bargain. They have a 6lb bag of Whey Protein for around $30. They have chocolate and vanilla that mixes easily with water or milk.

Hi! I use the 100% Whey Protein powder from GNC. They have a chocolate flavor, that when mixed is like a shake. I mix mine with light vanilla soy milk and ice. One scoop provides 20g of protein or something like that.

it depends what you want... I just went to a store that sells all kinds and the guy told me if you want one for post workout then you want just a plain whey protein (quick release) to restore your muscles right after you workout... or you can get slow release, which you can have for breakfast, or it's good before bed because it releases different things at different times. I bought the slow release before I talked to the guy so that's what I'm using right now.. it's called myofusion. I think it might also be higher in protein than other kinds. Either way he said protein is protein so any kind is a good idea! and dont fall for the expensive brands either! he also said there's really no difference between the cheaper and expensive kinds. good luck picking one!

I make my own because I don't like the chocolate powder mix that I have. I blend ice, milk, unsweetened coconut, pineapple, and banana and (ground) flax seeds. Sometimes I'll add other fruit as I buy it, but I almost always have those. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein also. Boiled eggs are a staple in my fridge, almond butter on whole grain toast. Oat groats. There's a lot of possibilities.

I enjoy the Muscle Milk Light protein powder... it comes in a ton of flavors and it's less calories

BSN Lean Dessert is great, a few yummy flavors to choose from also! For breakfast I love the cinnamon roll or the banana nut bread and I just re-ordered another container of the Chocolate coconut too!

I like the chocolate Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protien mixed with coffee!!! Soooo good! And it has 52g of protien (for 2 scoops) I think they sell it at Wal-Mart.

Try the Pure Protein line of protein bars. I enjoy them.

20g protein
2g sugar
180 to 200cals each bar.

I don't think I eat enough protein either..that is why I have been supplementing with Greek yogurt and dried edamame and other nuts. All are very tasty to me.

Try to eat your calories. If you drink shakes before you work out that's ok but make sure you are eating the bulk of your calories.

This link has protein foods. If you don't like to cook then try crock pot receipts. They are easy and you can make bulk. Get freezer tubs and portions it out and freeze it. You have to get creative. This is all about life changes.

Try to find a protein drink that is at least 24g of protein per serving. You can drink 1-2 shakes per day and eat the rest in food. I'd say stay away from things like Slim Fast and Special K protein drinks. They have a lot of carbs and calories and not a lot of protein.

There are a lot of different kinds on the market. I think the Vitamin Shoppe sells samples. Get some samples and see which you like best. Some good ones were recommended already.

The one I want to try is Premier Nutrition. It's got 30g of protein per 11 oz. It's a bit pricey--about $3-$4 per drink depending on where you get it from.

My goal is to get 1 gram of protein for ever 10 calories. So, if I'm eating 1200 calories, I'm getting around 120 grams of protein. My daily "minimum" (as advised by my doctor to maintain my metabolic rate while dieting) is 90 grams.

I posted on my blog about some of my favorite high protein snacks. It's from over 2 years ago, and I should probably post a new one soon since it's my most popular page.... but in case it's helpful to any of you:

General consensus is 1g per lb lean body mass on a cut to preserve muscle. If you are 20% fat at 150, then you need ~ 120g daily.
