Everyone talks about the Protein powders and supplements they take but I was thinking it'd be interesting to have a thread where we all share our favorites and give a little testimonial as to why they are our favorites.

It might be helpful for those just starting out the process as well as those at varying stages.

Right now my favorite is the EAS Carb Control chocolate Fudge Protein Drink. I buy them in packs of 4 at Walmart for about $5. The are low in carbs, low in sugar and have 17gm of protein per shake. I find that they make the perfect Breakfast drink for me. If I'm still hungry I have been occasionally adding a Pure Protein snack bar with 20 gm of protein in it. Also found at Walmart for about $1.17 each.

I am pre-band so this will change when I get to the liquid stage.

I use unjury unflavored & choc in the liquid stage - I get my protein now by real food - 1 oz of meat has 7 oz of protein... I only do shakes after a fill as my doc requires full liquid for the 1st week after a fill.

Try Supreme Protein Bars---they taste like a big ole chocolate bar...not chocolate covered bark......

They have 30g of protein-----------DEE-LISH--US

I prefer the low-carb SlimFast shakes, which have two net carbs (4 total) and 20 grams of Protein per shake.

I also like using the unjury unflavored protein added to pudding, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc. I'll be starting the soft foods stage Thursday so I imagine I'll be using the Unjury even more when I rely a little less on shakes.

1. For Protein shakes: Dymatize Elite Protein in Mocha Cafe. Mix with 8 oz skim milk and blend with handful of ice and you have190 calories and 34 mgs of protein.</p> <p> </p> <p>2. For Protein Drink: Isopure Clear Protein Drink (about 6 flavors...all good). Pour over ice. 1 bottle is 160 calories and 40 mg protein. I keep a huge supply in my house.

food! I dont take any Protein "supplement" in the form of shakes or bars etc.

These days I'm really loving vegetarian sources like chickpeas and lentils, but I do eat red meat. I love lamb, we eat lamb in some form twice a week or so.

I struggle with fish, I only eat it because I know its good for me.

I'm also for the Slim-Fast low carb shakes. Excellent source of protein (20g!), so it's perfect. I prefer pre-made to the powders because I'm lazy that way. I like to just pop open a can and there's my meal. LOL
