if you go on to food network alton brown has a recipe for protein bars that have the best of everything for your body. Make those to get the best for your body. My hubby is a personal trainer and he uses Bally's protein drinks and weight gainers. He likes them. I've tried them and they are ok.

Try Spiru-tein's Cookies and Cream.\nIt's a protein drink and tastes great...like a Sonic Blast.\nIt's sold at lots of health food stores like Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods... Regarless of what the package says...use a blender, don't shake.  Then go watch BrokeBack Mountain afterwards.

I used to use dessicated liver tabs, lean beef and chicken. Protein powders are useful but read the label first and use it sparingly. A good, complete diet should be enough to build muscle without the use of supplemented protien powders.

You are not going to see a huge difference from the most expensive to the cheapest protein powder.  Just go by which one you like best.  That being said, here are some concerns about a few types I like to avoid:\n\nPersonally, I don't like Muscle Milk.  It's loaded with fat (yeah, I know "lean lipids", whatever) and contains a chemical called glycocyamine, which is heavily linked to cardiovascular disease due to its tendency to raise homocysteine levels in the blood (among other things).  Even if that doesn't scare you (cardiovascular disease being the #1 killer in the U.S.)...there are plenty of other options for you.\n\nIon-exchanged whey isolates (like in Isopure) are also heralded as a "better" form of whey, but the process involves running a type of acidic solution through the protein...and again, there's better options.\n\nJust go for a good, micro-filtered whey protein isolate that won't break the bank (because you'll probably be drinking quite a bit of it).  Optimum Nutrition makes a good one, as does Iron-Tek and Biochem (all made by Country Life, I believe).

Instantized protein is just protein that is made so that it can mixed easily with a spoon.\nOther proteins when mixed with a spoon may clump up or sink to the bottom of your cup. \n\ntheres nothing wrong with natural protein though and if you get a shaker cup and shake it up you most likely wont get any clumps.\n\nIf you want some good protein that is cheap go to http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/hp/whey.html\nthis stuff is good and you can get 10 pounds for around $50\nAlso bodybuilding.com can give you good info if you have any further questions.\n\nYou can email me at xxgremlinxwp@sbcglobal.net  if you need any more assistance id be glad to help.

Protein powders are simply a means of increasing or meeting your daily protein requirements. Asking that question is like asking if chicken, steak or fish is bad for you. Most protein that you see on the market is whey protein which is derived from milk. Is milk bad for you? Of course not.

If i get any it's usually Pure Protein because it has a pretty high protein/carb ratio.

Don't know about the sugar product, but according to Men's Health:\n\n"Whey protein is a high-quality protein that contains essential amino acids that build muscle and burn fat.  But it's especially effective because it has the highest amount of protein for the fewest number of calories..."\n\nRicotta cheese is a good source.

the best natural protein juice u can drink is a home made one.\nraw eggs, milk, and vanilla flavor.\n\nmix 2 raw eggs with milk, blend it in the mixer and add some vanilla flavor to take out the bad taste of eggs. and its not only good for ur muscles, its very good for the brain as well.

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

Buy you some Ensure PLUS drinks, you can buy the walmart brand for cheaper.  Make sure you buy Ensure PLUS, they have 350 calories per can, and taste great, like chocolate milk.  They also have vanilla and strawberry (yuck!).  Drink them between regular meals.  I am thin and have been drinking 3 a day for a few months now, and have really picked up a few lbs.

Strawberry's great.  The GNC brand, not too sure about the quality, but fairly cheap I remember.  Strawberry tastes good.  If you want to pay a little bit more, get ON 100% Whey Protein, the strawberry flavor in that doesn't even taste like a protein shake!

120 - 160 grams of protein.  This will be important in helping to maintain muslce mass, since the body likes to convert glycine (an amino acid) to glucose for fuel when in a gasting state.  There is no easy way to pack this much protein into a single shake, unless it is a really big shake.\n\nI recommend getting the cheapest brand of protein you can find (preferrably derived from milk or egg).  You will probably have to do other things beyond consuming protein to lose weight, but this is probably the amount that you will need to consume.

I strongly recommend the Atkins Advantage bars.  They have the same nutrients as eating a meal and fall into the calorie range you're looking for.  I'm not a lunch person so have had one daily for the last three years.  I've tried other brands and always come back to Atkins.  My favorites are chocolate peanut butter, s'mores, almond brownie and chocolate decadence.  The new caramel line isn't as filling and doesn't have the staying power of the original bars.

I use GNC Creadrive. It has the carbohydrate transport system included, so you can just mix it with water (don't need juice). I've have gotten good results with it combined with GNC whey protein.
