Way to go. Shaklee protein powder are good. You can find a seller in the internet. maybe shaklee,com?

I like Spirutein brand, it comes in tons of flavors and it tastes really good. It has 14g of protein (a little more if you mix with milk), and 8g carbs. It's also loaded with vitamins. I buy it from health food stores, all of them in my area carry it. You can buy it in one-serving packets to see if you like the flavors before you buy a big canister. I love it!

Hi Kathy there's a couple of different protein powders #1 is CASEIN which is long lasting and slow digesting and then there's also #2 WHEY which is quick hitting and used best before during and or after workouts because it's quick digesting. I like (Pro complex by optimum nutrition) which is predominately whey and has very little carbs 1.5 in one scoop with 27 grms of protein, and then I like(100% essential natural protein by (Iron Tech)

which is predominantly casein long lasting slow digesting which comes in a variety of flavors and has very little carbs 4 grms and 22 grms of protein,I use both of these in my supplementation. You can google N101 supplements and order it there on line or most health food stores carry both powders.

I hope this info helped

Hi Kathy,

Most people don't know how important protein is, and those that are in the know, don't know a good way to get enough of it. Well whey's the way and I've got the scoop. If you want to learn more by watching a 2 minute video, I invite you to go to my site www.GetFitAndWInCash.com , click on the blue "Products" Tab and then click on the Word "Nutrition" and finally click on the Video labeled "WHEY" to find out all you need to know! Hope that helps!

Interesting article here: http://www.naturalphysiques.com/faq/269.html

of note, If you consume large amounts of protein, your body becomes less efficient at processing it and uses much of it for energy (look up damination and oxidation). If you consume small amounts of protein, your body becomes extremely efficient at using that protein and burns less for energy, so it's a tradeoff.

Studies show that either keeping calories the same and increasing the percentage of calories from protein, or increasing calories overall even if the increase comes from carbs, both can contribute to gaining muscle mass and improving protein turnover.
