fitness Do you drink protein shakes?

[Bawse]

I love protein drinks, my favorite are muscle milks. I need to get a big jar of a protein mix, so I can make them at home.

Do you like protein shakes?

I don't go near them, too many calories...fattening.

Muscle Milk is probably the most flavorful one, but I believe it only has 25 or 26 grams of protein. I need more than that (and calories) for my goals, so I pick up a thicker Lean Body with 40g.

I pre-workout with MET-Rx 32g protein bars because they also have the 42g carbs to help me power through.

There's quite a large selection of protein drinks where the calories in it are essentially just from the protein. However, you will get gassy from these if you don't have enough carbs in your diet.

Isopure, for example, has 32 grams of protein with 0 carbs and a total of 130 calories. A plus for it is that it's a "juice" instead of a milky base, so you can enjoy it over ice. Perhaps you don't even need 32g, since I think that you mentioned you're 125 lbs before, so half a bottle (16g/65 calories) over ice after a workout could be a good choice for you.
