Protein shakes

Does anyone have any recommendations for good protein powder? And also can you have too much protein? I had 129g yesterday. Thanks :)

I like Muscle Milk from Costco. It comes in chocolate or vanilla. Mixed with skim milk it is quite palatable.

It comes in a six pound bag, they also have a lot of other WLS supplies.

Too much protein just won't be used. One thing to remember is that

protein has about 4 calories per gram. Here is a quote from a fitness

mag. "Despite the frequently expressed concern about adverse effects of high protein intake, there is no evidence that protein intakes in the range suggested will have adverse effects in healthy individuals."

I Use Muscle Milk also. The ones in 8oz cartons. Using a hand blender, I mix it with half a banana and crushed ice. tastes just like a shake! I love them. According to my group support dietician, your body can't assimilate more than 40 grams of protein at a time ( not per day, just not in one meal).

Want to clarify my statement above... The 8 oz Muscle Milk cartons I get is a ready to drink protein drink....not powder. I pour it in a glass, add the banana and ice and whip it up...
