What is a good protein mix to buy? I want something with low sugar and low carbs... Something maybe more suited for females? Let me know what's out there
Also, let's be friendly to my wallet!

Depends on what you are going to use it for. Post workout or meal replacement. For post workout a simple whey protein is fine for a meal replacement you would be better off with a protein blend or mixing your whey protein with milk. Most brands are fine, take your pick. I personally use Nitrean by At Large Nutrition (protein blend) and ready-to-drink Muscle Milk shakes (whey) post workout.
Chocolate whole milk is also an excellent post workout drink and is cheaper but lower protein per serving.0 -
So, let me get this straight...

Optimum nutrition is a good, cheaper brand.
3g Carb, 1g Fat, 24g Protein per scoop.
Mixes pretty well with water or milk. Protein is protein, there is not a special kind just for women. You may be thinking of premade shakes that may be marketed towards women but your body processes whey protein just like mine does.0 -

Correct.
Awesome! Thank you!0 -
I would also recommend "Optimum Nutrition" 100% Whey. I use this myself, it's a reasonable price, low carb/fat. Around 110-130 cals and 24g protein. Also, most of the flavours taste really nice, especially the chocolate ones :-)
Mix with water and it's great post workout, could also mix with milk.0 -

NO such thing as suited for females. I recommend Optimum Nutrition 100% natural Whey protein. Low carbs, low sugar, taste great.....avoid Muscle Milk please0 -

Do you only use it once a day? As a post workout or a meal replacement? Or can you use it multiple times?0 -

What's wrong with Muscle Milk?0 -
.....avoid Muscle Milk please
Why... the RTD's are great to just toss in your gym bag, and they taste great too.0 -

I like the Gnc Pro Performance - Whey Isolate 28. it comes in 5 or 6 flavors (i only get the vanilla) mixes well with water or milk. Ofter at the GNC store they have a buy 1, get another at 1/2 price. 28 grams of protein and 130 cal per scoop. 2 scoops, 2 cups of milk and 10 oz of mixed berries make for a yummy shake.
But this is just my view and is worth the price you paid for it. :laugh:0
