I am looking for some new ways to add more protein to my diet and was thinking about protein powders. Any advice from anyone who has tried this? There are so many out there I am not sure what to get and am also worried about any side effects.

Thanks.

    i have recently been using GNC's protein powder for women and it curbs my appetite, is only 70 calories and takes ok.

    I buy mine at complete nutrition. I love adding PB2 to the choc one. I will also mix the strawberry one in with a smoothie. I haven't noticed any side affects. The one I use has a 120 calories I usually use it after workouts to help my muscles recover quicker. I also use it as a quick snack in the afternoons if I don't have time to make something.

    My favorite is Max Pro Chocolate Pute Protein Powder. For 1 scoop (35 g) it's 130 cals, 1 g fat, 4 g carbs and 30 g of protein. Every morning I have 1/2 a scoop in each of my 2 cups of coffee. After weights, I have a protein shake (just milk or water and a full scoop of powder) or in the afternoon/evenings if I want a treat, I make a shake...

    ice, scoop of protein, blueberries, 2 tbsp ground flax seed if I need the calories, milk and/or tbsp of peanut butter...mix in my bullet and it's a delicious, frothy shake!!!

    I haven't noticed any side effects, I've been using protein powder for 2 years now.

    Apex Fit 100% Protein is another I like...

    Hope this helps!
