Get ready for some reading
This is what I've learned so far:
I use the bulk bag of EAS protein powder from Sam's Club. $40 for a 5-lb bag! This way, I can mix it with whatever I want, like fruit, oats, or anything else, unlike weight-gaining powders, where you can't remove the stuff you want, or modify it without going overboard on cals! Don't get tricked into thinking that the high-dollar 'mega protein' is better, simply because of fancy packaging, or high prices. Sure, some is better, but check the nutrition labels-they don't lie. You could use the Body Fortress (the brand that Wal-Mart carries), and do just fine!! Just remember that a lot of companies get their protein from a supplier (the actual manufacturer) and they slap their own label on it!
