I always drink Designer Whey in chocolate or strawberry. It has lower calories than many other types.

Designer Whey also has fewer g. protein for the serving size. Only has 18 g per 90 cal of 1 serving. If I were using that I would consider "1 serving" == 180 g / 36 g protein.

Unless you are using a mass gainer, you should be getting about 35g out of a single serving of protein mix. The "serving size" stated on the container may not be that but you can increase or decrease your "scoops" to get roughly 35 g of protein. But also watch the g of fat & carb.

Everyone is different, and the 1 that doesn't make me want to toss my cookies, ay be the 1 that makes you. lol

For example my boyfriend swears by Nitro-Tech, but I can not for the life of me get that down.

The ones I use the most (my a protein shake junkie, always trying new ones out) are:

allthewhey( only problem with is the last time I ordered it took them 3 weeks to get me my protein, usually it takes 3 days, something to do with customs :rollingeyes: ),

MVPnutrition protein is really good (only tried this because my friend works for the company and she gave me some free samples) but there stuff is very good.

I also am taking a casinate protein right now, but this is strictly a night time protein, because it digests slowly. It tastes gross though. lol
