So as much as I try , I have a hard time reaching my protein goals. Unless of course I go way over on my calories for the day... Just wanted some advice on which protein powders to try. Protein/calorie ratio and of course taste matters! Thanks for your help

Thanks! I'll look into it... anybody else recommend this?0

I have my eyes on EidoPro's 100% Whey Protein Isolate Unflavored and Unsweetened, it's 110 calories per serving with 27g protein. I am going to finish what I have now and then order this one, I have heard good things about it.
I am currently using the GNC Pro Performance Chocolate whey protein powder, it's 90 calories with 20g protein. I like the taste, just don't mix with too much water, it's pretty thin ( I only use about 4oz)
Hope it helps :-)0 -
I was thinking about getting something unflavored too. I would rather put it in my coffee or my cereal in the morning than mix sit with water/milk and drink it.0

I've tried tons of different kinds, but my absolute favorites are Vitamin Shoppe's house brand stuff, which is relatively cheap. Vanilla and Chocolate. They mix great with lots of things (vanilla with cereal, oatmeal), or you can make "goops" easily with the chocolate, gelatin, peanut butter, and coconut oil.
It's called Bodytech Whey, and they sell it online at the VS store or Amazon.

Vitamin Shoppe seems to be an East Coast chain; I dunno if they have them in your area.

It all depends on what you are looking for. I don't like isolates because a lot of manufacturers won't tell you how much of each type of protein is in their formula. Whey protein is great after workouts as it digests fast and gets into your system quicker. Casein proteins are great for an extended flow of protein over time as it takes longer to digest and breakdown and also helps keep you from getting hungry. It depends on whether you care more about cost, effectiveness, taste, texture and mixability (not really a word). All of these should be part of your consideration because a cheap protein is no good to you if you can't stand the taste or texture, you won't finish it anyway. I love BSN's Syntha6 because it looks, tastes and has the texture of a thick delicious milkshake, even in water. However, many don't like it because it is high in calories from carbs and fat. Trutein supposedly tastes just as good as Syntha6 but is just a pricey. Many brands I've tasted I've managed to stomach but has been way to thin. Is low carb high protein your priority? Is taste and texture your priority? Is cost your priority?0

Tried many brands. ON's Gold Standard Natural Chocolate is by far the best I've used. Like it mixed with almond milk.0

Optimum is pretty good and not too expensive. I didn't try all there flavors, but a majority were okay. I've recently gotten hooked on Trutein and find the quality and taste better so far. The only downside is it is a bit on the pricey side.0

I'd be wary about Body Fortress. They were called out as one of the companies being looked into for nitrogen spiking
