When purchasing protein powders I generally buy ones that are high in calorie(800's)and in protein(30-50grams). Today I opted to go with a low cal (90cals) mid range protein (23grams). I can double scoop for 46 per drink and at 3X a day that is 138 grams of protein from drinks alone per day.(Not counting the post workout one at the gym plus from regular meals). I am more concerned with protein to feed muscles rather than cals from fat etc. so I am guessing this was a decent decision???

Also, I found a protein that is timed released in order to absorb all 80 grams. Has anyone heard of this and does that sound legit? I know that there are issues with an individuals ability to absorb all of the protein taken in for one day so I thought that might be an option. Any input is appreciated.

I go with the Optimum Nutrition it's 120 cal. 3g carbs and 24g prot. per scoop and I mix one scoop with 8oz. of milk 7 times a day. That's 1890 cal., 105g carbs, and 224g prot. and I spilt the shake up about 2hrs. apart to make sure my body utillizes all the prot. Protein builds muscle and you need about 2g of prot. per pound of body weight.

I even didn't buy protein drinks yet for myself.

I always buy whey products they are the best. I only trust whey.
