Do you ladies have any advice on what kind of protein powder is the best? I'm increasing my lifting to do mostly 80% lifting and 20% cardio. Want a good quality protein that also doesn't have funky stuff in it, etc. Trying to get lean.
Thanks!

    There is no such thing as a "female" or "male protien powder... But I like the GNC AMP whey

    Look for 'whey protein ISOLATE'

    Isolate is 95-98% pure protein

    if you get 'whey protein CONCENTRATE' that is only 75-80% pure protein

    (feel free to google that info)

    most powders are 'micro filtered' for easy mixing. I prefer unflavored since then I can add it to orange juice, or soymilk and then add in anything else like a teaspoon of cocoa, or fresh fruit.

    if you choose a flavored variety, usually you will get added sugars.

    I use NOW Foods 100% pure protein isolate unflavored...Super Supplements had a sale recently, a 5lb jug for less than $40 (usually around $80)

    Good Luck!

    i have recently bought PHD diet whey ...it is on amazon and in shops in the UK...it's low calorie, and high protein and specifically for those who want to lose weight and retain muscle :) comes in lots of different flavours-currently i am using belgian chocolate which is nice.
