Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein...yea or nay? It's in my budget and tastes better in my opinion. Just not sure if there's anything 'bad' in it. I've been using it for a few weeks.

It's what I use because like you I'm motivated by price.

I dump with it but it does taste good.

I don't understand why, unless you get a better supplement. What matters most is whether it is by your nutritionists recommendation or not. You must consider your nutritionist.

I unfortunately don't have a nutritionist.

I use it as well. My nutritionist told me was fine. I've used since right immediately after my surgery

Me too. My dietitian tells us repeatedly at our support groups and office visits that it's most important to get the protein in. Body fortress is low sugar and low fat. And low price!

Thank you!

The vanilla is really good added to black iced coffee!

I like those protein shake recipes at the eggface blog.

Just be careful choosing your Protein. Not all protein supplements are the same. Some are designed to bulk up and build body mass and may be much higher calorie, and some are designed to help lose fat while repairing and building muscle. Most protein supplements are originally designed to be used w/a body building workout routine. Some protein supplements are specifically designed as a dietary supplement for people who've had weight loss surgery or who have other medical reasons for not being able to eat enough normally (medical use Proteins like Unjury). Cheaper protein supplements are sometimes cheaper for a reason - they have useless fillers added and less quality usable product. They may contain other ingredients that might not be absorbed as well. We spent a good deal of time looking for a protein that had what my body-building husband needed (low calorie, quality protein for muscle building and repair after heavy workout). My protein is slightly different than his and has what I need (quality protein, good nutrition, low calorie). Mine tastes better than his. :-)

Do your research and talk to your nutritionist.

Don't have a nutritionist, that's why I'm posting the ingredients on here, in case someone is knowledgable on what is filler and what isn't.

Even a sports nutrition store will at least be able to tell you what each product is good for so you can make an educated guess.
