Just spent the day at the health food shop down the street a couple of days ago and asked the same thing. The guy there told me about a new shake for protein (which I always am short of) that is easy to digest and has more of the good things you need in it. It's made from 100% New Zealand protein which he told me is good because they don't allow any chemicals in their crops.

Check out this one online: Harmonized Protein by Proventative.

I tried the chocolate and really liked it and evidently someone else has tried it on here because it was on the list of foods when I added it to my daily food log. In fact if you go there and pull it up like you're adding it to your day there is a link to see all the nutritional values.

Yes...I drink at least one a day. For the powders I use the Bariatric Advantage brand, all flavors. I am addicted to Click espresso protein powder. I also like the Oh Yeah! brand of ready made shakes. They only have 4 carbs and 32 gms of protein.

They curb your appetite because they are food.
They don't burn fat because they are food.
Protein shakes are convenient and often delicious. If you want to have a shake, have a shake and log the calories. Just as if you ate a bowl of cottage cheese or a chicken breast. There is nothing magical about them.

I sometimes like to take dat der Celltech stuff.

For whatever it's worth, "most" of the successful people on here (you know, the ones that make you say, "Damn! I want to get to that point!) use protein powder. Seems to be a common theme for success. I could be incorrect, but I believe Sidesteal, Taso, and Joe above all use it. I've followed their guidance since I got here and can assure you they are well-versed on the entire topic of fitness.

^^^^ I second this (with the addition of helloitsdan)

Also, do a search through the forums for "shakes" or protein shake recipes....etc...
last week some awesome recipes were posted.
I'm working my way through them...a different one each day! So far Blueberry cheesecake flavored is winning.

I have one most every day. They are filling, delicious, great for after workouts... You can mix tons of things with them like fruits and veggies, pb, coffee ect. Yum! I love Designer Whey protein personally.

i like the EAS whey protien, can be cheap at walmart i like the vanilla brand, and i add the torani sugar free hazelnut flavoring to it

Good Morning Everyone! Does anyone out there do protein shakes? I'm interested in them because I've heard they can help curb your appetite and burn fat. Anyone have suggestions or advice on this subject?

They do not burn fat.
They do help you hit your daily requirement of protein. For lack of a better way to explain it, think of it like adding a chicken breast to your diet. Granted, one may taste better or make you fuller or happier, but from a macronutrient standpoint it will be similar.

I agree with this.

I drink drink protein shakes for any magical fat burn or muscle building properties; I drink them because they are a convenient way of getting protein into me, they taste good, fill me up, and provide a nice alternative to my other protein-rich foods
