It sounds like you are lifting weights, which means you should be eating more protein than the average Meal Replacement Shake can provide.

I swear by Met-Rx Extreme Chocolate. You can by them at any GNC. I have even seen them at some grocery stores.
260 Cal
40 Grams of Protein (mix of slow release milk and casein and fast release whey)
Excellent Assortment of Vitamins, minerals and Amino Acids.

The taste is EXCELLENT and it keeps me full for several hours.

Answer 4

I am using Six Star whey protein. I drink one of these in the morning and it keeps me full until late afternoon. Check out the website at www.sixstar.com for more information. I have been using Six Star for over a year now and they have lots of protein in their drinks.

Answer 5

no longer possibly given which you would be able to desire to devour some thing which will a) make you extra complete and b) has foodstuff, supplementations and so on. besides to the protein. the main suitable wager is to devour a small salad alongside along with your protein shake.

Answer 6

You'll want slow-releasing protein, so look for "Caseine protein" or "Whey protein". They both slowly release the protein so you've got a supply overnight, its best to take it then.

Answer 7

I use Ensure which has multiple different ones that allow for different suppliments to be added which includes Protein. I love it for supplimenting what vitamins I might be lacking in my diet.

YES, YES, I know only old people drink that.. Well ha.. Im 29 and love it!

Answer 8

I knew casein was a slow release protein, I though whey was a fast release protein though???

Answer 9

Univeral Nutrition makes one called Specialized Protein for Dieting, made from isolated soy protein. You can get it from GNC.
