bloodsire pls respond

I don't do protein shakes or creatin, but I heard chocolate tastes like a malt.

Whey protein after workouts for muscle recovery

Syntha-6 Chocolate Peanut Butter (22g protein) is what I use, mainly because I like the taste. I personally don't like vanilla flavored protein powders unless you add something like fruit, oreo cookies, etc. to the shake to enhance the flavor.

Chocolate whey mixed into plain yogurt is good as hell.

For some reason i have the urge to recommend this Bogo shit.

These: http://www.premierprotein.com/product/chocolate-shake/

They are super cheap at Costco (1,50$ in Canada per 30 grams shakes)... I don't mind the taste for a no sugar drink (I usually hate what is sugar free). Also, they are mixed already so you don't even have to bother mixing them (powder proteins are a pain)!

One last thing, this is what you have to work on if you are training for hockey: http://25stanley.com/les-monstrueuses-jambes-de-martin-st-louis-sont-pretes-pour-la-saison.html

It depends on your goal and your diet. can you give us more info?

isopure is straight up protein, no carb/sugar fillers.

It could not matter less. Just use whatever's cheapest per gram of protein in your area. Usually it's the large, dried whey protein containers. Stuff doesn't go bad, so don't worry about buying in bulk.

Gold Standard

That's what I use and hear recommended the most.

For calorie to protein ratio for premade shakes, I found these to be pretty good, and they taste good too:

Buy ON

I used to buy the Vitamin Shoppe brand. Same stuff, cheaper than some other brands, worked great.

They have weight gainer too that my buddy used for a bit and got super-huge, but you do put on some chub with it till you trim out...but you'll put on much more muscle. I like having abs tho, so I only used it for a bit as it had creatine in it and although probably safe, I don't see the need to take the risk

Muscle Milk is generally what I use.

Steak.

Just drink a whole bottle of Hershey Syrup everyday.

when i was playing lax i generally use isopure

muscle milk will give you the muscles to hit airshots

I've been using the same shakes post-workouts for the past few months and would definitely recommend them too. Never been a fan of powders since they're not as convenient to transport and shakes save the extra step of mixing them into the drink. As far as protein/calories the premier proteins are pretty good too.

get the ON gold standard. it has minimal carbs and fats while having a decent portion of protein per scoop. i think muscle milk gives you 35 grams per two (70 grams total)scoop. but in reality, most of your protein intake should be coming from your diet. grilled chicken is my usual choice.

this entire thread makes me feel small and insignificant

It's inspiring me to possibly give a shot because I'm so small and insignificant.

all the popular brands are pretty much the same. I've been buying optimum nutrition 100% whey for quite a while. It's one of the cheaper ones and most of the flavors taste pretty decent. Trutein cinnabun tastes pretty amazing, but it's more complex than it needs to be and costs more.

mirroring what others have said, most whey protein powders are the exact same - you just pay for brand and/or other fillers that may have been added.

conversely, protein powder isn't necessary for muscle growth and should be used as it is: a supplement to your diet. i'm on a caloric deficit and find that i would rather spend my calories eating whole food that contains protein, rather than drinking a liquid version.

whatever the goal you may have is (gain muscle, shed fat, cut weight, etc.), realize that nutrition is far more important than what you lift or much you do cardio.

feel free to add me if you'd like. i could assist you with finding out your personal nutrition and macronutrient needs based upon the goals you have in mind.

edit: to answer your immediate question, i like both progenex and musclemilk products. both have great flavor, and musclemilk products tend to be found cheaply at walmart/target/cvs/etc

broken down foods like shakes are the best protein after a workout since your body absorbs more of it and faster

do you have a source for this information?

Actually there are different kinds of protein powders. ^

There's slow and fast release protein. For a quick guide on what they are: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/md99.htm

Also like the previous person posted, don't rely on protein from powder alone. Make sure you eat lots of high protein foods (chicken breast, turkey breast, tuna, other lean meats, kidney beans etc)

It would also be a good idea to take out simple carbs out of your diet, more details here: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/carbs/simple-vs-complex-carbohydrates.html#b

I'm not into only-protein powders, instead, I'm into all-in-one powders, my favourite is the Herbalife one, what it does is that replaces a meal of the day and skips the sugar and fat. It also helps me to have a lot more energy during the mornings. I complement this with a no sugar and low fat food schedule.
