Does anybody have any good recommendations for protein supplements. I am looking to order off of amazon or walmart, if possible due to cheaper prices. The lower the carbs, the better. Thanks.

    My DH and I eat (from Walmart) Body Fortress Whey protein. AdvantEdge Carb Control Protein (this is great for on the go). DH likes Atkins bars (the peanut butter ones) I prefer Pure Protein bars. All of those are lower in carbs.

    The protein shots are a great way to get a large dose of protein with no sugar/caffeine, etc. Only thing is, they taste TERRIBLE! I gag for about an hour after taking them.

    I use Muscle Milk protein powder and like the taste. Although I haven't experimented with other brands much.

    I had some Muscle Milk today from 7-11. $4.00 for 14 ounces!!!!!! :sad:

    Thanks everyone for the responses, I will research all the ones mentioned above.

    I did find a good guide over on bodybuilding.com explaining the different types of protein and the reviews from users.

    Thanks again all for the comments, you guys rock!

    I'm a fan of the ON whey as well. I personally prefer the double rich chocolate but I haven't had a bad flavor of theirs yet.

    I've had Body Fortress and it was ok. I just prefer the ON.

    I did try a 6lb bag of Muscle Milk Whey powder from costco. For the amount, the price wasn't bad, but it was sooo disgusting. I couldn't make it through the last lb before enough was enough.

    Bought some Body Fortress Whey Isolate Vanilla last night at Walmart. Drank some this morning with half skim milk / half water and it tasted pretty damn good. 30 grams of protein per scoop.
