Hey everyone,

I love to workout but I work 45 hours a week in an office sitting and my only daily workout is chewing all day.:embarassed: I have always been skinny my whole life, weighting about 110 pound. I lived with my father in Europe and was spoiled and refused to eat healthy food, and ate chocolate, croissant, and sandwiches EVERYDAY.:cry:
I now am 24 and have a 3 year old daughter, am looking to be healthier and start working out. I try to squeeze some time to go to the gym, but am always tired, (I think that has something to do with my diet as well my thyroid problem). So, I decided to start going to the gym at least 3 times a week for an hour and would like some advices on some protein shakes? I will only drink chocolate ones, and am super picky (against my wil).

Please, give me an advice on what you think tastes chocolaty and could help. Also, would that help shape my body? And when should I drink it?

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    Drink it anytime you want, but you should only be taking protein powder when you are unable to obtain your minimum protein macros from whole foods.

    I love the Pure Protein Chocolate Frosty. I hate protein shakes but this brand is awesome!! You can buy them at HEB and Walmart here in Austin, TX where I live. You should give them a shot as they are 120 alories, 6 carbs and 23 grams of protein. They are sooo good and you do not have that overpowering protein flavor. I put mine in the freezer sometimes to get a little slush. MMMM Good!

    I've just recently started drinking BioX Whey Protein shakes. I need to increase my protein ratio on my macronutrient profile and these help. I hate the taste of protein powder too but this brand is really palatable.

    I found the Cinch shakes to be the yummiest and give me the most energy.... I'm addicted to the vanilla, but the chocolate is really good as well. The coffee flavor is pretty gross though!

    What Joe said! As much as you can from whole foods and supplement with Myofusion. Great nutritionals, great flavor and texture and great price. That Joe is a pretty smart cookie!
