Be careful with to much protein consumption. I was drinking to many shakes and not enough water and i ended up with Gout in my right foot.

Isopure...plenty of protein and low calories. Fits what you need exactly.

I'm with RBT. I haven't gained weight on it. It all depends on how you were using it I guess. I only use it once a day though. I try and eat a pretty good breakfast every morning with lots of protein to get my metabolism going. The syntha-6 has been wonderful.

Protien is good...... up to a point. Usually the older a person gets the less
protien their kidneys can tolerate.

For what you are saying, I don't think a protein shake is necessary. Like others have said, most of it is excess anyway.

I do triathlons and run. The most common recovery drink in that world is just a glass of chocolate milk. You should be getting everything else your body needs from a good diet. Anything under a couple of hours, I usually just drink a glass of choco milk...but anything over that I go with an actual recovery drink (not protein). I really like Infinit Nutritions recovery drink...and they have a night time one.

Do some google searches about running recovery drinks (slowtwitch forum has some great info). Protein shakes have their place, but usually that is in the muscle building area.

True indeed. Thus the importance of drinking plenty of water daily.

I get (on lifting days) 250 grams of protein....eat that amount of chicken and calorie count. That's 1 gram per 1 pound body weight. You also need to keep up the other supplements. Too much protein isn't bad if you stay hydrated, you'll just fart it out.

I worked with a competitive body builder about 15 yrs ago. He took all kinds
of supplement crap. His farts stunk bad.....they were rotten..

Yep, I've lifted for years...that's the side effects.

The wife was glad when I stop taken protein shakes.. Now, our daughter takes for her training.. Suppose the wife didn't win after all..

GNC Wheybolic extreme 60. Protein and essential aminos for recovery. For your needs,1 scoop for 20 grams of protein. But I agree with previous statements that the majority of your protein consumption should be from your diet and 1 gram per pound of body weight to maintain/build lean muscle. Protein shakes do tend to be very useful post workout considering liquids absorb easier and faster.

Im a fan of Muscle Milk. I take Nitric Oxide supplements before and Creatine and the Protein after every hard long workout. The NO helps during the workout and I dont feel tired at the end; and the Creatine helps with recovery and build strength.

But what I take with my muscle milk for my Protein shake is:

2 scoops Protein
12 oz Water and 6 pieces of ice
2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter
Chocolate Syrup.

Tastes so good.

Whatever you buy, Whey protein is better for you. Keep in mind a protein intake of 2.1g/kg provided superior muscle mass gains to a protein intake of 1.2g/kg for weightlifting.
